New Mexico Weather
North and South
Correspondent Writes From Fort Stanton
q Extrems Cold and Succession oi
olixx.rds.

The Optic publishes below letter
fnDm Fort stanton, which the Albu.
Querque Citizen man describes In the
headlines as being from northern
New Mexico. The fact that Fort
Stanton IL $50 miles south Of Albu-
querque leads one to wonder II the
head writer knows Just where he 10
a1. II Is a fact that perhaps cannot
be easily explained. that the farther
north one goes In New Mexico this
winter the finer will he dnd the
weather to have been. Take Dorsey
1M instance In the extreme north OF
ColIax county. There has been no
snow and the mercury has not fallen
below the zero mark. Las Vegas has
had a beautiful winter thus far--lit.
tie snow and abundant sunshine, but
Las Vegas will have to admit that
Ration, which Is both higher and
farther north has outclimated VI.
And as we go further south the wealth
er reports grow worse and worse.
But here Is what the correspondent
says about the Fort Stanton region,
down in Lincoln county:
"The most severe spell Of winter
weather that this part Of New Mexico
has experienced in years has been
during the past Is days. On the 21st
1t began showing and continued until
IA IL inches covered the ground here.
In the mining district, west Of here.
36 inches Of snow fell. The tempera-
ture has ranged about zero every
night since; the lowest record being
IA 1.2 degrees below zero on the night
Of December %. Mail service into
this part OF the country was entire
" Suspended for ten days, 1t being
impossible for the mail stages to trav-
el through the snow drifts, In many
places from Ave to ten feet deep.
Range stock has not suffered to
any appreciable extent BY reason Of
the severe weather, although It was
not possible for them to Craze for
several days, owing to the deep snow.
Cattle have been enabled to Withstand
this hardship on account Of the ex.
cellent condition. Of the range this
summer and fall.
No trains have been operated on the
Captain branch Of the Southwestern
since December 81, which has been
great inconvenience to shippers and
travellers. Thousands Of pounds of
apples. which were ready for ship
ment, have been ruined by freezing.
Citizens Of Captain have offered their
services gratuitously to the railroad
company to clear the snow on the
track, in the hope that this would SO.
cure train service; the offer was ac-
cepted by the management and
party is now at work in the vicinity
Of Indian divide"
