Just before daylight on Tuesday morning last some miscreant fired the wood pile lying near the Skillicorn and Snyder mill at Pinos Altos. Had it been discovered ten minutes later it would undoubtedly have destroyed the mill. As the mill was closed down awaiting result of the legal proceedings in injunction on the mine and no fires about the premises, it was certainly the work of an incendiary. No punishment can be too severe for such a miscreant and no doubt if those firebugs are discovered, the citizens of Pinos Altos will not await the law’s delays.
