The Socorro Chieftain has been trying
to find out what the matter is with Socor-
70. On all sides prosperity reigns, but at
Socorro. The Chieftain sums up the sit
uation thus: 1.-THE trouble lies in her own
citizens. They are the ones that keep
this city back. They do not do anything
themselves and do not want anyone else
to. In every other town the citizens
work for that town. In Socorro, when a
stranger comes here, with the idea of in
vestng, he is informed: "The town is
dead )" that "it is worthless" that "the
farming lands do not pay" and that cher
mines are of no account" In fact men
who make their living here, who live off
the town, run it down and are a blight to
its future"
