Our San Juan county neighbors
who journeyed to Albuquerque cou-
Pile of weeks ago with agricultural
and horticultural products to place on
display at the New Mexico state fair,
appear to have captured everything
in sight. E. P. Wilson, Of Aztec, who
spent the night here en- route home,
carried almost bolt of blue ribbons,
and assured us that he had only a
small portion that belongs to San
Juan folk. Included in their awards
were Al first prizes, 16 second and 0
third. Among these we find they won
first for the best county exhibit, first
for the best agricultural and horti-
cultural display, first for the best
fruit grown in e. single orchard, first
for the hest display of all varieties
of fruits, sweepstakes on fruit, first
on plate exhibits galore and the spe-
cial $25 prize offered by the Bldrich
Lumber company for the best all
around exhibit. The tall alfalfa grown
on the Abrahms ranch in the Aztec
vicinity placed all other displays in
the dwarf class, by way of compari-
son. Just to give those in attendance
at the big fair a taste of the good
things that is San Juan county's
portion all the time, the delegation
distributed 10 boxes of pears and
about 30 boxes of apples. Mr.. Will
son was enthusiastic over the royal
treatment accorded those in charge
of San Juan's exhibit and statos that
every minute of their stay was filled
with interesting features.
The Denver mint is soon to start
the coinage of $25,000,0OO in gold

phia mint has not furnished the east

The mint is to make twent.'. ten

special order of the two and one

The Philadelphia mint is going to
supply the east with nickels and pen

to make $150,OOO worth Of nickels
