Various items relating to the history of Carrizozo and White Oaks, New Mexico were collected by Johnson S. Stearns, President of the Citizens State Bank in Carrizozo. Included in this collection is an article clipped from Colliers (Oct. 6, 1934) describing the Cow Pasture Pool. In addition to the article, there is a score card from the Cow Pasture and notes on the Colliers story written by Stearns. Correspondence concerning a Masonic fifty-year award presented to George Ferguson is also included in the collection.

With this reproduction is a clearer typed version of an account sponsored by Paul Moyer, (Also Mayer) proprietor of the White Oak and Carizosa Stage lines. A letter from Floyd Stadmein to Johnson Stearns contained in this collection refers to the aforementioned account.
