down over 1000 feet and when an
additional thousand feet are added
great results are anticipated. There
are more than twenty-five organized

The town of Pagosa has increased

San Juan County Shows Rapid
Strides in Many Directions.

AZTEC, Dec. 30.-The writer has
just returned from trip through va
rious sections of the county and must
confess to surprise. Although a res
ident of Aztec and aware of the In
fiux of settlers during the year, was
not prepared for the showing that is
forced on one who makes a
trip through the outlying districts.
1t is safe to assert that the popula-
tion has been increased 25 per cent
during the year 1901. Along with
this several hundred new homes have
been made in our county. Most of
them are well to do and few have
purchased improved ranches and or
chards. Aztec has grown by the
erection of both business houses and
residences, and there is much stir in
real estate circles, as 1t is believed
the town will double in population
during the year. Improvements have
been made and are quite noticeable
among the ranchers Thriftyness
is denoted on every hand, and San
Juan county will enter upon the new
year with brilliant prospects for the
future.
FARMINGTON, Dec. 30.-Lack of
time prevents a compliance with your
request for resume OF the improve
ments of Pennington and vicinity the
past twelve months. but to sum the
whole matter up in few words. we
can say that the town has made great
er strides towards a metropolis dur

There is life and activity. where a
few years ago everything was at

blood has had much 20 do with this
and even without a railroad the popu-
lation of Pennington will no doubt
about double the coming year. and
