Socorrc, N NJ Oct 12-No county
in the Territory needed Judge more
than Socorro county Our people are
rejoiced that the President gave us a
home man, one who is both familiar
with the laws of the Territory and
the wants OF our people, and, as his
standing professionally and socially
is well known to the people of this
district, he will find on his arrival a
hearty and sincere greeting awaiting
HIM. one that will make him feel as if
he were at home.
Professor Keyes has now every de-
partment in the School of Mines run
ming in perfect condition The stu
dents are advancing rapidly under the
modern instruction they are receiving
from a faculty that has no peer in a
like institution. Our citizens and
business men fully realize that they
have at last the right man in the right
place as President of the School of
Mines.
Sister Rosalind of the Mount Car
mel convent is also giving general sat
isfaction with her modern methods of
transmitting knowledge to the stu
dents Of that institution.
This will be a dull week for So
zorro as everyone is going to the fair
at Albuquerque. Socorro county in the
past has been the banner county in
attendance, as the sale of railroad
tickets demonstrated, Albuquerque
should work more than she does for
the Gem City.
The health of the city is better than
it has been for years at this season Of
the year
Police Judge Amos Green is fast be-
coming a terror to evil doers and
tramps. He enforces the law and So
corro has become one of the most
peaceable towns in the Territory.
Manager Nathan Hall reports work
ON the 1000 foot tunnel on the Little
Badly group at Water canon progress
ing nicely. He has encountered the
lime belt and the general character of
the formation is identical with that Of
the famous Graphic mine which is
considered to be in the same belt It !
is expected daily to encounter large |
body of ore The Georgia Belle mill in
Water canon is about completed |
There are nearly one hundred and |
forty assessments to be performed be-
which means an expenditure of $14,-
600.
The mines in and about Kelly and |
Magdalena are looking we'll and some
are taking out good ore. Both camps |
are in prospering condition, and the
production will be heavier than for
some months past
Rosedale camp is lively again and
the golden metal is being run into bars
for shipment.
San Lorenzo copper camps are stead
lily exploiting their rich copper depos-
it's.
There is no activity in the Socorro,
LduTOucS VI LI1c CdIupo cdSJ
of the river at present, but reports in
dicate that they will soon be heard
from |;
The Mogollons and Black Range s
camps are holding their envied repu- {
tations as producers, and several i'm {
portant new strikes are reported to {
have been made lately. S
If the report is true that the coal
miners OF Colorado and New Mexico
are to go out on strike, the Carthage
coal miners will be more prosperous
than ever. They have no grievance
and outside strikes are distinct bene-
lit to them.
The ladies of Socorro are giving a
series of teas" and will open a ba-
zaar at the opera house next month to
raise money to build a parsonage for d
he Presbyterian church. "Teas" were Ii
given at the residences of Mrs. ]. G. a
Fitch, Mrs. C. G.. Duncan and Mrs. L. g
B. O'Gara, all members of other b
churches. This shows there is no Sec b
arianism in Socorro when it comes to b
matters of public Improvement. o
