A $4,000 FIRE At SOCORRO.
The Grown Flouring Mill Was Burned to
the Ground,

The first severe loss by fire that has
occurred in Socorro for some time was
suffered by the Crown Mill company
last Friday. Only the main part of the
mill was destroyed, the store rooms
and engine room remaining practically
intact. The fire originated on the Sec
ond floor, probably from a hot box in
one of the pieces of machinery. This
was followed by an explosion which
not only did conserable damage in IT.
self but doubtless had the effect Of
spreading the fire. The only means at
hand to control the flames was a small
hose, and this was broken in two in an
attempt to use it. The nearest fire
plug is near the residence of A. D. Coon
and the hose company's 1000 feet of
hose would not reach the mill from that
point. AS soon, however, as consider
able number of citizens had arrived on
the scene, bucket brigade was formed
and it was only by hard work that the
store house and engine room were
saved from destruction. There was a
large amount of wheat in the store
house. This suffered no damage. There
was also large amount Of flour In the
mill proper. Willing hands soon put
thfs beyond the reach of the flames. OF
course all the machinery and fixtures
are total loss. The loss will amount
to about $4,000 above all insurance.
The company will Immediately repair
it's loss and put the mill in better condi-
ton than before.

CAPTAIN NOTES
Eleven Months of School and Surplus in
the Treasury.

Captain is on the eve of q big Oil
boom. Some time ago indications of oil
were found a short distance from Cap
itan. Within the past few days close
corporation of ten men has been formed
for the purpose of developing this oil
prospect. There is plenty of money be-
hind the enterprise and development
work will begin in short time. Some
enterprising people of 11l Paso and
elsewhere are in back of the new enter
prise and experts with machinery will
be sent there in short time to bore for
oil. The prospect is a good one, and
the fluid is actually coming out of the
ground from between the crevices of
rock on the surface. There is no doubt
of the presence of oil there, but the
quantity is what must be determined.

San Miguel County Courts.

The spring term Of the United States
district court for the fourth judicial dis
trict at Las Vegas closed Saturday. The
term was unimportant and not much
business came before the court. This
shows that the United States laws are
right well obeyed In that district.
The territorial district court opened
today Judge Mills presiding. There
is no very important business be-
fore that branch of the court. Crime is
getting less In the district and hence
grand and petit jurors have not much
to do. Civil business Is on the increase
but is rapidly dispatched by Chief Just
ice Mills who presides over the district
and allows no business to lag.
