fire protection funds must beapproved in advance. Taylor said thatLincoln County Emergency ServicesDirector Travis Atwell reported hav­ing understood that the Nogal FireDepartment improvements would befunded through a CommunityDevelopment Block Grant (CDBG)and fire protection funds would beused only if the CDBG funding wasunavailable or insufficient.

County commissioner JackiePowell asked Atwell to explain howthe $40,000 error came about,' andwhy the board has only now beeninformed of the mistake.

"This came about because itwas'a station expansion," Atwell said."The fire marshal audits all of the firefunds every year. They'll question .anything. Of all the expenditures theyquestioned, the only one we couldn'tjustify was Nogal. Because it was astation addition, the fire marshal hasto preapprove the plans and see themoney," Atwell said. "This was sup­posed to be covered completely bythe CDBG grant. The prior adminis­tration apparently expended $40,000for the engineering of the station. Thefire marshal flagged it because theyhad no knowledge of it prior to whenthe project got started," he said.

by Patrice Brazie

While under the managementof former county manager TomStewart, Lincoln County saw vastimprovements to its five volunteerfire departments, with upgrades toold fire stations, new stations whereneeded, a renewed fleet of firefight­ing apparatus and better training forvolunteers.

Among the many fire depart­ment projects completed in recentyears is an addition to and some ren­ovation of Forsythe Hall, the home ofthe Nogal Fire Department.

On October 16th, during aregular meeting of the board of coun­ty commissioners, county managerNita Taylor asked the board toapprove reimbursing the office of thestate fire marshal for work done onthe Nogal facility.

"My research shows that thestate fire marshal audited the Nogalfire protection fund expenditures for2010 and found that $40,000 chargedto that fund was not authorized, due

, to lack ofprior review or approval bythe state fire marshal's office," Taylorbegan.

She told the county commis­sioners that any large expenditure of

Like Eat-'Em-Up-Jake I heardthe words, but they didn't change my attitude.

As I hung up my saddle for the lasttime and plut my arms around Old Slim'sneck, I was near to tears, Slim had sloweddown considerable during the summer andwas willing to tolerate a little petting. As Icame out of the bam and across the corralSeingo and Eat-'Em-Up Jake were standingby the gate.

"Don't be sad, Little 'Un," he said,"the time will soon pass and before you knowit ou will be back to ;sing and ride in the val­ley, again."

"No, they have been gone quite awhile. October, I reckon." "Did he write thebook?"

"I didn't see it if he did. Could have,though." .

"Did he catch any outlaws?"Not that I know of. Didn't see any."The "catch any outlaws" statement

was just a joke to me at the time, but since therumor has persisted all through the years thatBilly-the-Kid was alive, I have been wonder­ing about it. The most logical place for adetective to look for him would have been inthe Jack's Peak area, for that is where the min­ing town of White Oaks is located. It was tehMecca of all the adventurous young men ofthat era. From there to theRuidoso Valley andthe Cow ranch would be the natural sequence.If "The Kid" as Dad called him had been stillalive Dad would have known it and wouldhave taken care of him to the best of his abil­ity. To live iwth us and become one of us asSeringo did was the only way to prove or dis­prove the rumor.

The state tournament will be in Albuquerque onNovember 15, 16 and 17. Pool play will be held at Cleveland High fol­lowed by the quarterfinals. Semifinals and finals will be held at the SantaApa Star Center. Grizzlies will head into tournament play on a nice win­rung streak and should do well at district and state.

The jr. high volleyball team ended their season with wins overQuemado and Reserve on Friday and Saturday. The way I see it, thatmakes for a perfect season. One match was lost by the 7th grade splitsquad in Mescalero, but the 8th grade team did not lost a match all year.Congrautlations to all concerned. .

Have to extend some good wishes to afew high school footballteams that are pretty popular here at the NEWS -- Congratulations to thefootba.Jl teaz:t from Monett, Missouri for their big upset win over theCassville WIldcats -- thought I saw grandma do what looked like a cart­wheel when the news was received! Second good wish goes to the Rio .Rancho Rams ranked #1 in big school rankings in New Mexico in theirgame against last year's champions ~- Cleveland High School. The gamewill decide district championship and seeding for the state playoffs. Thethird team would be Hanks high scool team out of El Paso, TX'J a pro­gram that has been turned around by some outstanding coaching.

Don't want to end this column without sending my personalTHANKS to all our, veterans on their day, November 11, past and pres­ent. Thank you so very much for doing what you did for your and ourcountry!

Got an early (tentative) basketball schedule which is on page 7 ofthis Week's NEWS, which means some of tlte games scheduled are sub­ject to ~hange. Will try and get the final version as soon as it is available.qreat time of the year for us.sports fanatics -- college and pro football,high school playoffs, volleyball playoffs, college basketball ready to startregular season, pro basketball and hockey, except for the lockout, but whoreally cares -- too much other stuff going on.

THOUGHTS

Just in case some of you believe thatthe letters you sent to the News were ignored,we want to thank each ofyou with an explana­tion. First of all, each letter was read andappreciated, however it has been the policy ofthe News for the past,20 years to NOT printletters endorsing any candidate or issue.Endorsements, while very worthwhile, mustbe in paid advertisements.

Of course you might mention that inthe past previous editors and or publishers didthings different, but they are no longer hereand their ways are not important to us. Thinkabout it, if your grandmother used cloth dia­pers and hung them on a clothesline to dry,does that mean you and the current generationshould not use what is available now? Mostyoung people don't even know what a clothes­line is and you couldn't pay them enough to .not use disposable diapers.

You could also argue otherwise, how­ever in the past few weeks each endorsementon TV for a bond issue was preceded. withwords that "This is a paid advertisement.Someone paid. . '

One important thing to remember isthat TV ads are not free. Likewise newspaperads are not free. If you doubt it, compare theads that were NOT in the NEWS with winnersnames. One pseudo candidate stronglyannounced that their ads were in the paper, thecandidate neglected to say which paper. Wepromptly stated that the ads were not in theLincoln County News. There is a difference.Take for instance your monthly bill for electri­cal service. Paying your fuel bill is not thesame as paying the electrical bill. We know

Using that same analogy, don't expectto gamer calcium from a soft drink instead ofmilk. If you were strongly in favor ofone can­didate, did you believe enough in that candi­date to pay a tiny bit to announce your choice?A few dollars would have gone a long way, butto assume that we would give you free adver­tising space is wrong. Why should we giveaway free what others charge for? Ifyou knowplease let us know the secret.

Sometimes people get the wrong idea,but for those who are misinformed, we are anewspaper, and we are not affiliated with anyof the county offices. Our name is LincolnCounty News because we cover news eventsfrom all over Lincoln County, not just onearea. And yes, people do read the ads printedin the News.

. White Oaks was the center of the min-ing industry in old Lincoln County. It is 40miles from Lincoln and about 12 miles fromCarrizozo. The first mining operations wereundertaken by the Mexicans about 1850-placermining in the Jicarillas about 12 miles from thepresent site of White Oaks.

When the American miners came aboutthirty years afterward, the old pits and dumpswere still visible. Ever since lode and placerprospecting have been followed. Much moneyhas been spent, yet the mother lode is still amystery. Today the situation is unchanged, a.meagre living repaying the miners.

Before 1880 the only mine to be seri­ously developed was the American, on theopposite side of White Oaks. This was workedby the soldiers stationed at Fort Stanton. Allattempted discoveries and operations in thisvicinity were hampered by the Apaches. Onlythe more adventuresome prospectors risked itand their graves lying on these lonely summitsbear witness to these unsuccessful ventures.

In looking for actual introduction ofgold, we must not stray from the immediateWhite Oaks. The first modem discovery ofgold in this district occurred in 1879 on BaxterMountain. This was the birth of what we knowas White Oaks. The story of the first famousdiscovery is as follows:

A number of old miners had beenprospecting for placer gold. Among them wereGeorge Wilson and his partners old JackWinters and George Baxter. While eating theirnoon lunch, Wilson started up the side of themountain with his lunch in his hand. Near the,summit he idly clipped off a piece of rock froma large blowout and saw visible gold. Herushed back to his companions.

They excitedly staked out the NorthHomestake, the first lode location in the camp.On the same afternoon Wilson sold his rights tohis partner Jack Winters, for $40, a pony and abottle of whiskey. We can realize how big that$40 looked to a poor prospector in those dayswhen the estimated wealth of the entire com­munity was $300.

Soon after George Wilson disappeared,following the usual life-here today and gonetomorrow.

North Homestake passed thru manyhands, the first few years paying big dividends.Much ofthe surrounding property was sold, theowners making high profits. North Homestakewas a steady producer for many years, havingover $3,000,000 to its credit.

Soon the South Homestake, Old Abe,Little Mack, Comstock, Rip Van Windle,Hannibal and many others were located. TheOld Abe proved the most valuable,with$2,900,000 to its credit.

The true vein on the Old Abe was dis­covered in 1890 by Wm. Watson, a lawyer whofor years had spent every spare momentprospecting. It was owned by Judge J.Y.Hewitt, Harvey Ferguson and Wm. Watson.This property was free milling -- the deepestdry mine in New Mexico, and many claim inall the world.

The Old Abe has had a serious cave-inand a disastrous fire. Yet it is believed the realvalue has not been reached. Ths distinctionofhaving the first sitdownstrike falls here. Muchrich specimen ore had been disappearing so theminers were requested to disrobe in the office,donning clothes furnished for working. Thechange was reversed coming out.

Once outside, the miners seatied them­selves determined never to enter theOld Abeagain. They had the night to reflect. The nextmorning the leader concluded: "I did not stealtheir ore, so why should I quit?" He startedback. One by one his companions, not caring tohave guilt point their way, followed.
