Congressman McAleer resides. A

The Santa Fe sheet has found It In
its usually adamantine heart to say
that the benefits which securing mills
secure to the towns in which they are
located is amply illustrated by the
experience of Las Vegas. This city
is today, as it has been for years. the
largest and best wool market in the
west. This is so well known that
wools which are not naturally tribu-
tary to Las Vegas are freighted over
land from distant parts of the Terri
tory to this city, attracted by the ex-
cellent market. Many of the wools
too, are brought from points nearer to
other railroads than the Santa Fe. but
the higher prices prevailing at Las We
gas induce the growers to make the
long journey by wagon. and thus much
traffic is annually brought to the town
and to the railroad, which would go to
other points were 1t not for the SUI
perior market maintained in this city
chiefly through the fundamentally
of the wool-scouring mills.
There are three large and well.
equipped wool-scouring mills located
at Las Vegas. These three mills have
a yearly capacity of about 100000
pounds of grease WOOL Last year they
handled about 100000 pounds of New
Mexico wools. They give employment
to between forty and fifty men, and
usually run the year round. One of
the largest of the three has not shut
down for the past four years. And,
it may be added, the largest securing
mill in any city of its size in the whole
western country is now in course of
erection in this city.
