Narrow Gauge Road to Burro District Survey Underway
A surveying party 6 works on the proposed line of the Comanche Mining and Milling Co from Silver City to Burro mountains to determine the route and grade. The rugged terrain may require two to three months to finish the curve. A separate incident reports a fight near Eprix station with a hoboes group, sending a man to Alamogordo hospital for a few days. Three men were arrested then released after the brakeman could not identify them. No mail reached San Juan for twelve days due to a washout on the Denver and Rio Grande line across the Cumbres Pass, delaying eastbound mail and freight through the region.
