MEMORIES IN THE SHADOWS OF HISTORY
Spring will be coming very soon to the little canyon on the
Navajo River high in the San Juan Mountains of Northern New
Mexico. At one place in its tortured path the river makes a
a horseshoe bend and comes into contact with man's world.
Here are the remains of a little settlement. All that's left now
are the water tower and trestle where the Denver and Rio Grande
Narrow Gauge tracks once led to towns with romantic names like
Gato and Ouray.
There is a stone lined well in the middle of the site, surrounded
by the foundations of buildings. The inside diameter of the well
is so small that only a boy or a small man indeed placed the
stones. The answer to the puzzle lies in the Chinese coins and
little bits of tea cups that are sometimes are found here. The
workers were Chinese.
On the far side of the canyon there is a narrow trail that leads
up to a ledge about fifty feet up. If the wind is just right, the
wild horse herds come down to drink and you can watch them
just as the Apaches who have dwelled here for a hundred years
or more have done. It gives you a deep sense of history.
Here and there along side the rails are little piles of coal as
reminders of the little steam engines that pulled narrow gauge
trains along the steepest rails in America. If you listen quietly,
just at sunset, and if you possess a little imagination you can
hear the clickety-click of railroad wheels passing over the joints
in the rails and the pounding of the drivers as the long forgotten
little trains on their rails only three feet apart, climb once more
through this forgotten part of Npw Mexico to straddle the top of
the Rocky Mountains in Colorado's fabled "Golden Circle" of
gold and silver mines. Around every bend in the old track-bed
lies a tale of wealth gathered in and wealth never quite gained.
Only the wild flower strewn hillsides know the locations of the
old mines and claims now.
Perhaps, with a little luck we will return to the little valley
this summer. It holds a world of memories. Some might think
that this "Splendor in Ruins" would be depressing.... it's not.
Rather, you get the idea that nothing built by man lasts. The
dreams of a hundred years ago perished with their owners. The
things that are important remain. The river in its rock strewn
bed, the mountains and pines that graced the area millions of
years before the first man, red or white saw them, the wild
flowers, all of these will remain. They will still be there long
after the precious metals that were gouged from the earth have
lost their value.
Man is quietly put in his place when faced with the handiwork
of his creator.

Do you know the secret of
being rich ? It is in feeling
rich. The secret of feeling
rich is to think of what you
have, rather than what you
have not. There is much in
your life right now to enjoy.
There is much more you might
enjoy if you would draw upon
your full resources of imagin-
ation, energy, and creativity.
An English author once wrote,
"A man that keeps riches and
enjoys them not is like a
donkey that carries gold and
eats thistles. "

Sincerely,
The Aguilera Family
I want to say thanks to the community of Dell City that contri-
buted to help my family. Especially to: Lolita Archuleta, Estella
Moreland, Bertha Valles, Nelly Almeida, Jane Almeida and
Consuelo Jimenez who organized this help. And also to those who
made donations. Special thanks to Mrs. Maria Rivera and Mr.
Larry Karr for their donations.
is here visiting from Albuquer-
que, NM. She has been loving-
ly taking care of grandchildren.
Vicki has been very busy cater-
ing parties at Dell City.
Cindy Anderson, daughter of
Dee and Gaylord Scott fell in
her home in Flagstaff on Wed-
nesday evening and hurt her hip.
Dee left early on her move
to South Rim, Grand Canyon,
so she could check on Cindy.
Cindy had surgery on her hip,
we wish her a speedy recovery.
Roy is now having to make
the trip to Jal for parts since
the warehouse has been moved.
He saw Sam Snider who says
that he is enjoying his retire-
ment.
Well, the Easter Bunny made
an early showing at the Guad-
alupe School. On Tuesday,
4-14-87 all the students, and
neighboring kids, had an egg
hunt. Everyone was welcome t
to join in the festivities which
included a grand spread of
great food for lunch. Which
was well suited for warm wea-
ther. All the pre-schoolers in
the area settled into the routine
of being on school grounds and
thoroughly enjoyed the party.
Most of the mommies were
there and even a couple of the
daddies. It was a great get
together and it seemed as if
everyone enjoyed themselves.
Maybe this is the first of a
series of annual events?

There was a going away party
for Bob & Fran Hedrick on
Thursday at the Rec. Hall.
It was a pot luck dinner and
lots of good food. There was
a very good turn out with many
visitors. They were presented
with a book on the Guadalupe
Mountains, also a card with
money to help purchase some-
thing special for their new
home.
Visitors, besides the Gas
Camp people, were the Larry
Millers, the Johnny De Laneys
and children, the Johnny Mac
Sanders and Tater, the Pete
Ligons, the Gilmores from
Salt Flat; Jo Kincaid. The
Rec Hall had been decorated
with bandana print napkin
rings in the form of bows and
a banner with two horses with
"Good-bye Bob and Fran" on
it. After the pot luck the
group went to Armijo's Cafe
for pickin' & singin'. Darrell
Morrow, Larry Miller, Fran
Hedrick, Pete Ligon and Bob
Hedrick - lots of fun.
Bob & Fran said they would
miss Guadalupe and the people.
Fran said especially Sherry
Morrow and Stella Vigil - good
friends.
Carol. Mike, Susan Shurley
and Mary English decorated
the Rec. Hall. I would like
to give them a very special
thanks. Kaye.

Have you ever been asked to
participate in a chain letter
which is guaranteed to earn
you lots of money with one
small investment? Don't waste
your money - chain letters are
a form of lottery and may
violate federal mail fraud
laws. The same three elements
that apply to lotteries (pay-
ment, prize, and chance)also
make chain letter schemes
illegal. The payment may be
money or any other item of
value. The prize is the large
amount of money you are led
to believe you will receive in
the end if you participate.
The chance is that the chain
will break, and it must, be-
cause the chance that all part-
icipants in a chain letter will
receive mail is mathematically
impossible. For example, a
typical chain letter may re-
quire participants to mail
letters containing money to
six new participants, each of
whom must mail six letters
to six more individuals and
so on. By the eleventh level
of mailing, the entire popu-
lation of the United States
(almost three-hundred million)
would be exhausted. By the
13th level, the population of
the world (over four billion)
would be exhausted. And
remember, even if the chain
letter itself is not mailed, as
long as the payment or prize
is sent through the mail, the
entire scheme is illegal.
Some chain letters masquer-
ade as Multi-Level Marketing
(MLM) Plans. These require
an original promoter to sell
a product and enlist several
other people to become sellers,
who in turn recruit others.
Most Multi-Level Marketing
Plans are schemes to sell the
plan rather than the product,
and the fact that selling a
product is involved, instead
of winning money, or state-
ments saying the plan do not
violate federal law, do not
ensure legality.
Do not confuse regular chain
letters or Multi-Level Market-
ing Plan chains with prayer
chains that promise good luck
but require no investment.
These are not illegal - they're
just a nuisance. You should
not be intimidated by implied
threats of bad luck, personal
injury, or disaster for breaking
the chain. Feel free to throw
the chain letter away.
Remember, you are under
no obligation to participate
if you receive a chain letter,
and to do so may be a violation
of federal law. Turn the letter
in to the local post office or
send it to the Postal Inspector
in Charge, P. O. Box 162929,
Fort _2929 _
