in the spring of 1886, alarmed about the pending extinction of the bison, jones set forth from kendall in hamilton county, kansas, toward the texas panhandle to find remaining animals. he lassoed eighteen calves and took them safely back to kansas. such western authors as emerson hough began to notice jones's contributions. jones met the pioneer texas rancher charles goodnight, who was crossbreeding buffalo with cattle to produce beefalo, also called cattalo, an otherwise sturdy breed often born sterile. jones himself later tried producing cattalo. from 1886 to 1889, jones accumulated more than fifty head, including a buffalo herd he had purchased in winnipeg, manitoba, which required shipment to garden city. from this herd, jones sold animals to zoos, parks, or to other ranchers. he personally delivered ten buffalo to a purchaser in liverpool, england, a task which earned him $10,000, then a large amount of money. jones was a victim of the panic of 1893. a second ranch he purchased in nebraska failed, and he sold his remaining herd to ranchers in montana and california.
