The above is indeed an honor
mil at this time of the year. The
pupils named above came to
school every day of the stormy
time of Thanksgiving week,
when wt had the deep snow and
the windy days. The uinriiins
are now very short and it really
requires hustling for a pupil to
gel to school before nine o'clock.
For the small buys and (firli to
get into the list of llioir neither
tardy nor absent for whole
month It a real honor. Besides,
it trains ilium to early rising,
punctuality and pertect uttwti
luance. Wt hope that Santa
'Olatis will call at the home of
'eah of them.
On FHday afternoon the va
riant rrmms will have appropriate
eirrelses--Christmas being up
permost in tht interest ol all.
The lower grades especially are
taking intertst in decorating
their rooms and practicing their
"ptetes" for the last day before
the vacation. MissSeate'a room
will have a real fire place, down
which Santa Clsus will come
Those who at
tended the first entertainment in
the series were highly pleased,
and the one booked for Jan. I.
j will be at least as good. A really
meritorious entertainment is sel
dom seen in towns of small po
pulation; therefore, we owe it to
ourselves and our town to show
the Redpath people that we ap
preciate a high clas entertain
ment by packing the house on
Jan. 3.

Iron Furnace In Prospect
Reference was made last week
to the pretence of representative
from Tucuiurari and their pre
sentation of a proposition to
build and operate a furnace at
Carrizozo. The company they
represented is the Hematite Min
ing and' Transportation Co.,
headquarters Tucumcari, a;ul
holding a large acreage of iron
land in Lincoln county.
A committee of five was ap
pointed by the Chamber of Com
merce to confer with the com
pany representatives :iud to pre
sent its Gndiugs to the chamber.
The work of going over details,
procuring data and securing cer
tain guarantees has, necessarily,
been slow. The committee is
not yet ready to submit its re
port, but this much may be said:
The proposition made by the
Tucumcari company is regarded
quite favorably by the committee
and when all details arc worked
out it is believed the committee
will make a favorable recom
mendation to the Chamber and
that the Chamber and all cilisens
interested in the development ol
our resources and the upbuilding
of our town will likuwise regard
the proposition in a favorable
light and tend full support.
More cannot be said at this time,
but it in hoped that b) licit week
plans will be complete for a de
finite announcement of tin-, im
pmtant proposition.
John Barleycorn Is Dying
Slowly
icrording to the opinion nt
some of the most experienced oil
operators in the United States,
New Mexico will be the next big
oil lielil. This also seems to be
the general opinion of the hun
dreds of geologists who are at
the present time in the employ of
the different ell companies. Some
idea of the work being done in
the state in the nil fields mar be
had from the fact that there are
at present in tliestrite 52 rigs drill
ing wells, live of which nreover
2.000 feet deep and two over t.000
feet deep. There are apprnxi
iiiael 1 07 wells under contract
and it is estimated Unit there are
at least 2011 geologists in thestnle
working for the ililYerent oil com
panies. Nut a county ill the state but
lias at least three locations for
drilling. Oil has already been
found in four counties, Mckinley,
San Juan, Chaves and Eddy. In
'no place is there a well producing
in paying counties.
Practitally all state owned
lauds have been leased to oil com
panies except some in the moun
tains of Tnot and Rio Arriba
counties.
Leases in uuprnven districts
are selling for 2S cents an acre
and up. Some leases in (Juay
