					  <description><![CDATA[In circles where wrinkles have profound importance they are furiously discussing the methods of wrinkle removal. I have a personal favorite. Long ago I noticed that stout people are relatively wrinkle-free. Simply stated, if you keep adding material to a container of fixed size, something has to stretch. ]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.southernnewmexico.com/articles/96/1/Southwest-Mining-a-history/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ 
Possibly the best known name in Southwest mining is Phelps-Dodge. You might well ask yourself, "Where did they find this corporate name?" 
Well, Easterners Anson Greene Phelps and William E. Dodge started a trading company back in 1834. At the time neither of the partners knew squat about digging minerals from the earth, but they were astute businessmen. 
By 1881 when the founders met William Church, fresh from Arizona Territory, they'd expanded their knowledge base. Without ever setting foot in the Southwest, the partners knew that mining your own copper and making it into telegraph wire was a lot cheaper than buying imported copper and making it into telegraph wire. They bought Church's mining claim. Cheap. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[One of the keys to successful living in the New Mexico Southwest is brown floors. If you've just moved here you'll soon discover "Earth, Wind, and Fire" . . . Whoops, that's the name of a Seventies rock group. What you'll discover is dust, strong breezes, and lots of sunshine. Sunshine keeps the moisture out of the ground leaving it dry and mobile. The mobility factor is what makes it dust. Wind, of course, is what moves the dust around. Unless you happen to be a multi-gadzillionaire, and most of us aren't Ted Turner, you don't have enough money to seal your home against the invasive intrusion of dust particles. Even if you could, you'd still have to leave the door open or die when the oxygen ran out, kind of defeating the purpose. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Summer in the Southwest is a beautiful season, but the beauty can be harsh and heated. How do you know when summer arrives? Don't bother with the calendar. June 21 has about as much bearing on the Southwest's summer season as both Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays do with the third weekend in February.]]></description>
