Though the winter in good shape.
There is plenty of water and in the
mountains there is deep snow, while
for seventy miles in each direction
from the Zuni mountains there is six
inches of snow. Many sheep from
northern New Mexico are wintering in
western Valencia county.
Ross Mcmillan, who is in Santa Fe
on a visit from his sheep ranch in So
coIro county, says that in eastern So
zorro and Valencia counties the sheep
are doing well. There has been ample
snow and water is sufficient to see
stock through until spring. In the
Oscuro mountains and on the plains to
the east and west the snow fall has
been heavy.
At Roswell and vicinity six inches
of snow fell last week and a few miles
west of Santa Fe extending almost tC
the Arizona boundary, there is eigh
teen inches of snow on the level. Ii
seems hat Santa Fee is one of the few
points in the territory which has es
capped heavy precipitation since las
