Fire IN Cellar

On Monday night fire was dis
covered in the cellar of the build
ing vacated on Monday by
Gregg's saloon. Upon investiga
ton it was found thata lot of hay
and trash that had accumulated
there had in some manner become
ignited. S. E. Harris found a part
of a candle among the rubbish.
Whether the fire was of incendi-
ary origin or not is problematic,
but it is more probable that boys
went into the cellar to see what
they could find lying around, and
aft II using the candle threw it
down. supposedly extinguished.
Had the fire not been discovered
in its incipiency, the larger por-
ton if not all of Estancia would
have been wiped off the map.

tons, or 1888 per cent, the quantity
mined having been 2,500, ,873.2 tons.
The money stringency and mild winter
in the west and southwest operated to
prevent larger increase in production.
The mines were therefore not continu-
ously operated, and during the last eight
months of fiscal year many of the for
eign- born miners returned to Europe.
For several years the coal area of
New Mexico has been estimated at l,
43O, 480 acres and the available coal at
$500, $40, 900 tons, but an investigation
made by geologists of the United States
geological survey has immensely in
creased the estimate of coal land and
of available coal, which are now fixed
at l3, 1886 square miles (s, 534, 400 acres)
and 163, 7sO, 900, 900 tons still available,
more than Is times the tonnage estimated
by the office of the territorial mine in
spector.
The coal lies principally in the RAJ
ton field, which comprises 1850 square
miles $40, 400 acres containing 3OS05.

The county commissioners me

The county commissioners me
on Monday Of this week, the ful
board being present, the chaif
man Of the board last year, anc
deputy clerk Frank Chavez. Bills
were presented by Macario Torres
x-treasurer and Candido Padilla,
ex-clerk Of the county, for ex-
penses in connection with their
offices. These were approved by
the board and warrants drawn
for the same in full Other bills
for the same time were rejected.
Just why these two fayorites
should receive their money and
others be left out in the cold is
not apparent, but tits hoped the
commissioners will have an op-
portunity Of explaining the mat
ter to Judge Mann.
Christine Chavez, who had
more to say during the sessions
of the board than either member
Of the board, proposed the name
ofAntonio Campos as road super
visor for the second district. and
the board at once appointed him
to the position. Canilo Aargon
was named as road supervisor
for the first district and Santiago
Madril for the third.
In the matter Of the county
printing, there were five bids
presented. Christine Chavez
again made his presence known
and told the board that there
was no difference in the bids,
that one was as low as another,
etc. BY beautiful system ot'
elimination, explained elsewhere
in the News, the printing was
awarded to the Willard Record
James Walker appeared before
the board with a proposition to|
rent to the board for county
offices and court room the second
floor of his brick building on
Fifth Avenue. He also presented
a petition signed by thi ty citizens
of Estancia, and Judge Mann
asking that the court house be
moved to this building. Antonio
Salazar appeared before the
board with a propositionto renew
the contract for the rental Of the
building now occupied by the
county offices. Of course theI
board favored the proposition
of Mr., SaIazar, and rented his
building.
F. F. Jennings appeared before
the board in behalf Of ]; A. Nc
( Kinley and asked that the county
refund to Mr.. Mckinley the sa
loon license fee paid by him upon
starting his saloon near Mountain
air some months ago, which sa-
loon was closed by order Of the
district court. The discussion Of
this matter brought out several
speeches by Attorney Jennings,
Former Clerk Padilla, j, F. Dun
lazy and Attorney Wasson. The
board took the matter under adj
visement.
The clerk was ordered to issue /
the proclamation Of election oil
Justices and Constahles, in COM
pliance with the law.

In short, the improved and

The secretary also says the re-
