Santa Fe Seeks to Discourage Albuquerque Brick Plant
A W R Brown district freight and passenger agent for the Santa Fe writes promoters of a proposed pressed brick plant at Algodones that Santa Fe intends to discourage the project by offering prohibitive freight rates. He cites 6 cents per 100 pounds to Albuquerque and 50 cents per 100 pounds to Los Angeles, with similar high rates to other southern and western points. The plant would cost 30,000 dollars and promoters are Albuquerque businessmen. Brick shale banks near Algodones have been leased, with material for up to 20,000,000 bricks found on government land. The Tongue Brick Company would locate near the Tongue ruins, leveraging fine shale like Coffeyville and an abundant supply, but freight prohibitions threaten the project.

Cannon Relics Unearthed Near Old Albuquerque Church
A handful of Confederate era cannons unearthed years ago near the Catholic Church in Old Town Albuquerque were later distributed to Grand Army posts. Two were sent to Major Teel of El Paso and donated to the McGinty club, and now belong to the Pioneers Association of El Paso on strict conditions they remain within the city and only leave for exhibitions. The cannons, cast in Springfield in 1846, saw action on the Mexican border and in Civil War campaigns under Major Teel as General Canby moved through New Mexico.
