The snow in the mountains is melt
ing very slowly. 1t means plenty of
water for irrigation later in the sea-
son and may also cause some unusual
high water in June. The snow in the
hills is well packed and frozen nearly
as hard as ice.-Ignacio Chieftain.

P. o. Pelon for the Blanco Sheep
and Wool Growers association, has
sent out from Aztec for Boston 1885,
900 pounds of wool and expects to ship
about $4,000 to 10000 pounds more
this week. This all goes from Aztec
loading station and means big thing
for San Juan county as a source of
revenue. Aztec hardly realizes just
what Blanco means to her, as its pat
ronage alone amounts to several thou
sand dollars annually. Aztec is the
hub Of a wonderful wheel of fortune.

BOX OF FANCY PACKED APPLES.
R. G. Graf, manager for the Hunter
Mercantile company, last week had
shipped in box of apples from We
natchee, Wash, just to show how good
aples are packed up there. The box
was filled with extra fancy Staymen
Winesaps and was packed by Leedy
Bros. Each apple was wrapped in
paper just as we wrap our peaches.
They were then packed two in row
with four tiers deep, making eighty
apples in box. This was also mark
ed on the box so the buyer knew what
he was getting. If you have apples to
sell you better take look at this
pack and see what you have to COM
pete against.-Farmington Times
