Undaunted by loss of the San Vicente, Mrs. Warren went on to extend her business activi- ties into other fields — even including contract- ing. The venture into contracting occurred when Silver City decided to replace wooden sidewalks with concrete. No one in Silver City knew much about concrete; Mrs. Warren, who owned much property, and therefore would have a big paving bill, sent to El Paso for ex- perts to instruct her. The first concrete side- walk to be laid in Silver City was in front of her office on Bullard street. She had so much success that others in Silver City asked her to do their concrete work.
