Tearing Down Mills.

Work of tearing down the Albuquer-
que Securing mills preparatory to NOV.
ing that institution to the new site out
on Mountain road mex to the Rio
Grande Wooden mills, is progressing,
Work has been going on for several
days and has progressed to such an
extent that almost all the machinery
is ready to be moved and the interior
of the building is stripped of all pro-
jecting portable timbers. A recent
press article left the impression with
the public that the Rio Grande Wooden
mills and the Albuquerque Securing
mills would occupy the same building.
This is a mistake. Although the two
institutions are owned and managed
almost altogether by the same gentle
men, they will be conducted as separ-
ate concerns, and will occupy separ-
ate buildings.
