On Tuesday July 15 Becky Smith of Smith Real Estate will discuss Silver City Real Estate - past, present, & future - a retrospective of the past 50 years, and an educated guess at the next 50.
Becky Smith has spent most of her life from the age of 6 in the Silver City real estate market. Her mother, Viola Smith, went into real estate with local Realtor Fern Shell when Becky went to the first grade. They co-owned Smith & Shell Real Estate until Mrs. Shell's retirement in 1964, when the business became Smith Real Estate. Becky worked in the office as a teenager, and got her first real estate license in 1972, taking over the business in 1984 when her mother retired. Smith Real Estate has now been in continuous operation in Silver City for 61 years. Family owned and franchise free since 1964, Becky is now joined by her son, Trevor Thayer, and her granddaughter, Sydney Thayer, in running the company.

Silver City, NM, July 7, 2025—As a result of recent precipitation and cooler temperatures, Gila National Forest Supervisor Camille Howes rescinded fire restrictions as of 8:00 a.m. today, July 7, 2025. The shift in weather conditions has combined to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires. Weather forecasters are calling for continued and more widespread precipitation over the coming weeks. This added moisture will continue the trend of improved fire danger conditions across the forest.
Although wildfire risk is reduced, the fire danger rating for the forest remains "Very High". Visitors are encouraged to be careful with cigarettes and avoid building campfires if weather conditions are dry, hot, or windy, as well as to avoid parking hot vehicles over tall vegetation, and prevent chains dragging behind vehicles.
