AS WE PASS ALONG

Since the election is over the News
is able TO say a thing or two that we
could not have said a week ago or be-
fore the election. We might say to
the ones who are so previously dis
appointed over the election of Bur-
sun that the Stars and Stripes, a ma
tional paper, formerly the Dough
Boys own paper now published at
Washington, d, c, in its last issue
gives quite a need OF praise to Sena-
'o- Bursum for his work in their be-
half at Washington, and the Stars
and Stripes is a non partisan paper
and Is far removed from the scene of
battel in New Mexico. Had the News
have said this much last week there
are some who would doubtless have
asserted that we were getting a hand
out aside from our advertising space.
We believe that Mr.. Bursum will do
his best for all OF his constituents of
New Mexico, be they political friends
or foes. II he is the man we think he
is he will do all that he can for the
people OF New Mexico, regardless Of
some of the hard things that were
said OF Interchangeable News.

Among the more notorious of the
Apache chieftains of that day were
Geronimo, Peaches, Victoria, and Name.
1t was their particular pride to kill
without being seen; they never court
ed an open fight, but were prone to
lie in ambush and kill in cold blood.
The mines at Rosedale had to sus-

Of the Apaches. A war party of Apa-

An account of the Santa Rita mines,
in 1872. relates that it was nearly i'm
possible to work there because of the
fierce Indians who inhabited the re-

h"own as SILVER Peg" 1t is said

RIO ARRIBA MAKING
GREAT SCHOOL PROGRESS
DISTRICTS VOTE BONDS
(By Professor {. ID. Horner)


The school year commenced very
enthusiastically. All districts will
have nine months school.
Superintendent Canuto Trujillo re-
ports an excellent registration in the
three principal schools OF the County,
which are TERRA Amarillo, Chama and
Espanola. There are over one hun
bred pupils in attendance at TERRA
Amarillo, ~ OF which are in the high
school, Us at Espanola, and 100 at
Chama. Reports very satisfactory
come from Lumberton, Dulce, La
MADEIRA, Park View, and Chimayo.
County School Supt. Trujillo, with the
cooperation OF the Rio Arriba County
Board OF Education, are doing their
best TO place the County on the edu-
cational map Of the state.
The County Board of Education has
been trying to attend strictly % the
business. Changes for the improve
ment OF the schools have been made.
Several districts have been consolid-
ated. The best teachers have been
employed, and those who are waiting
only for their pay day have been elm
mated. These is a good showing and
our teachers must know that if they
desire TO be re-appointed they must
get busy and study for improvement.
The people Of Monero have voted
for 5000 worth OF Bonds to erect a
modern school house. Monero is a
very active mining town and the good
people deserves the best treatment Of
the County Board of Education. Tie
IRA Amarillo will soon start a $4,000
school house which when completed
will be the best school house in the
FL Vado has also voted $500
bonds and they have been sold. The
bonds at Los Pinos have been carried.
Prof. Horner has organized a
mothers club. He is working TO in
crest the mothers in the school at
Terra Amarillo, two hours every week
5 devoted by the classes TO entertain
he mothers. Supt. Trujillo desires
hat every school in the county to
Iollow the example OF Prof. Horner
md organize a mothers club, and that
his be our motto. Come mothers
school and help US to improve our
chools and TO make out OF them a
place for your children
to Prof. Horner for information
low TO organize and he will gladly
nswer to you without any cost. and
very feather must report to the coun-
y superintendent on the success OF
organization, who will be glad to

SIDELICHTS ON OLD SOCORRO
From the Gold Pan, the interest
ing publication of the New Mexico
School of Mines.


In 1870, Socorro was a small MeXi-
can town. At that time the part of
the river valley now known as the
"Bosque" now covered by many feet
OF silt, was fertile farm land. For
many miles north and south OF So
zorro, much OF this land was in vine
yard, and the wines which were made
here were widely known for their
excellence. Old farm houses may be
seen in the bosque to this day. So
zorro was a thriving community when
there was no such thing as the town
OF FL Paso, Texas. AT that time,
%Juarez, Mexico, was known as FL
Paso del Norte,' and the little settle
ment on the Texas side OF the river
was known as Franklin. The town
OF San Elizano, twenty miles below
Franklin, was then the county seat OF
FL Paso county.
With the first active mining at So
zorro mountain, which began in the
late '70s, Socorro came into the hey
day OF her glory. Thousands Of men
poured in, and the little Mexican ham
let which had nestled undisturbed
around the ancient Church OF San
Miguel Tor two centuries aWoke to
the hustle and industry of the los
picturesque period OF our national his
tory. Houses sprang up, and stores;
the old building near the depot, now
in ruins, was the mercantile establish
ment Of Brown & Manzanares, who
aid an annual business estimated a.
over a million dollars.
To describe Socorro of the early
eighties: The town square, now
known as Kittrell Park, was a large
sandy open space, with no trees nor
pavement, All buildings were of Ado
be, few having floors except of dirt
A high adobe will separated the part
Of town east of the present high
school from that west of the high
school, and the only way of passing
from Socorro proper to chihuahua, as
the western part Of town is known
to this day, was thru Death Alley, a
