TWO NEW FOREST
RESERVES CREATED,
One in Bernalillo, Valencia and So
corro Counties, Area 475,000 Acres
Small One in Lincoln.

Governor Hagerman yesterday re
ceived official notice of the creation
of two new forest reserves in New
Mexico, one of which at least, was Il
great surprise to those interested. The
larger reserve is known as the Man
zano, which contains approximately
475,O00 acres and lies partly within
three counties. Bernalillo, Valencia
ani Socorro. The other reserve is the
Gallinas and lies in Lincoln County
covering the mountains of that name
1t contains about 10000 acres of land
1t is difficult to trace the boundaries
of the ManZanO reserve because 1t
winds in and out among variety of
private land grants. The reserve
starts at the extreme northeastern
portion of Bernalillo County and runs
due south with many windings and
turns to avoid private property, pass
ing through Valencia County and into
the northeastern part of Socorro
County. The New Mexico and East.
ern and the Albuquerque Eastern rail.
roads pass through the reserve.
The land grants to the west OF the
Manzano reserve are: Sandia Pueblo
grant; Elena Gallegos grant; lsleta
| Pueblo grant: I.o de Padilla grant,
Tome grant, Casa Colorado grant
and Servilleta grant. On the east,
the Reserve boundary skirts the fol
lowing grants San Pedro Chilli
Torreon and Town of Mazano.
The Gallinas Reserve is laid off
almost in a square and covers the
Sierra Gallinas Mountains in the
northwestern part of Lincoln County
1T is probable that information of
the establishment of other reserves
will be received in few days.
Late this afternoon Governor Hager'
man received notice that another for
est reserve had been created in the
central part of Socoro County to be
known as the Magdaena Reserve.
The new reserve lies in townships @
3, 4, 5, and south, range 2, 3 and q
west and adjoins on the north, the
right of way of the Magdalena branch
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway. 1t then runs nearly due
south covering portions Of the Magda.
lena Mountains and adjoining ranges.
The total area is about 145,O0O acres.

MISSION SCHOOL
Several Thousand Dollars Loss-Pres.
byteran Institution Narrowly
Escaped Destruction.

Albuquerque, Nov 23.--During a
severe wind and sand storm early
this morning, fire destroyed one
of the annex buildings to the Presby-
terian Mission School here, two of
the institutions frame buildings ad-
joining and water tank, entaiing
loss of several thousand dollars. The
wind carried the fire away from the
main school building, saving it. Boys
in the school built hot fire in a
stove in the annex and then went to
breakfast. Goals probably fell DO
the floor resulting in the fire which
VISA increased in intensity by the
wind. Superintendent Ross said the
buildings destroyed would undoubt-
edly be rebuilt as they are necessary
for the maintenance of the school.
