The following from the Socorro Ad-
vertiser hits the nail on the head right
here in Santa Fe: "a Aud called kero-
sene is sold in this city at Is cents gal
Ion, but it fails to illuminate. In Colo
RADIO good quality of illuminating oil
sells at from to 10 cents a gallon. We
have coal oil inspection legislation but it
somehow fails to accomplish any good
for the general public. Let the legisla-
ture obtain the reason for watered oil
passing inspection"

J.A. Quinn, of White Oaks, passed
through the city to-day on his way to Kan
sas City. Hesays that the mines in the
Baxter mountains are all closed down, the
North Homestake because of q pending
sale, the South Homestake on account OF
the death Of the principal owner and the
consequent division Of his estate, and the
Old Abe mine has been idle for year on
account of an extensive cave in. Cattle
are IN fine shape, the herds large and
bringing good prices. For some reason
the sheep raisers and feeders are going
out of the business. Since the cattle
business is the largest industry of Lincoln
county, representing two-thirds of the
actual valuation in the county, the peo-
pie down there are taking bright view
of the future.
