Soocial media is ablaze with rumors regarding the Kneeling Nun's recent disappearance.
Where did she go? Did someone steal her? Did she fall down?
While some people claim it naturally slipped into the landscape. Other people reported loud explosions in the area. No one we spoke with at the Chino Mine had the clearance or authority to comment publicly. No one from the NM Mine Safety and Health Administration was available for comment.

Silver City held a work session March 28, 2023. The meeting started with Mayor Ken Ladner calling the meeting to order and leading the Pledge of Allegiance and salute to the New Mexico state flag. Council members attending the meeting included Lucian Farmer, Jose Ray, Nicholas Prince, and Guadalupe Cano.
The council approved the agenda with the removal of the discussion about the letter received by the Silver City Fire Department.
This work session would discuss the recruitment of the town manager and staff that would be retiring in the next few years. Alex Brown, town manager will retire in November of 2024.
