A FLOUR MILL
FOR EL P4SO.
mi latest indumkv tiUt will
UK STARTED HERE
A Representative of a Kentucky Miller
Mew Investigating the Advantage,Offer-
ed hy thl* City for such an Kuterprlse—
Will Report In ffavur of Kl • ato—Kea-
sees Which led to this Decision.
It is more than probable that a first
el ass roller fl>ur mill will be bnilt in El
Paso this summer. J. M Collier, a gen
tleman well and favorably known in
this city, is here making inquiries as to
the feasibility of establishing a mill at
this point He represents Jacob Heury,
•f Mount Sterling, Kentucky, who pro
poses to Btart a branch business in i be
southwest and to catch the trade which
is now tending to the Pacific coast Mr.
Heury is a man of means, and Mr Col
lier informed a Times reporter that
ample capital would be back of the en-
terprise.
Mr. Collier yesterday was busy mak-
ing careful inquiries regarding rates of
transportation, railroad f oilities, city
taxation, cost of bnildiug lots and mat-
ters of similar import. The result of
his inquiries is that El Paso offers spec-
ial inducements for such an enterprise.
He also has carefully investigated the
agricultural country which is tributary
to El Paso, and finds that there is more
grain raised than would supply a half
dozen mills of the largest capacity. Ja-
cob Henry’s choice of location for a mill
largely depends upon Mr. Collier’s re-
vall -y is now rapidly sett'iug up a"d
the ao eare there increasing ever) y a
So i here would be no qu-stiou as to .oe
tjiniitry being able to furnish suffi -ient
kMin for running r, uv'l of th- largest
capacity the whole y aroi n 1. The
i* w smalt mills within vu*> radio- uien-
tion-d wonld not, injure the bnsinessof
a mill in El Paso, for there is grain
enough to supply all, and your city on
acoonut of its central location, its rail-
road facilities and commercial activi ]
ties wonld possess advantages far ahead i
of those of any other town in this local-1
ity. The grain producing sections are I
only a short distance aw y an i so t ie 1
cost of transporting tbegr iin to Ei Paso j
should cat bnt a small figure in the
calculation of expense. However, the I
railroads ongbt to offer special induce-1
meuts to such an enterprise, partieu-,
larly as El Paso is a terminal point for
several of yonr lines.
’’In going aronnd the city today I no- j
t.iced that a large quantity of low grade !
flour is handled in El Paso I suppose I
to supply the Mexican trade. But Ster-1
lings’mill would not come in contact1
with this qualitv of flour, bnt with ihe
higher grades of flour, shipped from a
distance which, owing to the cost of
transport tion, 1 understand, come
qnite high.
“There is another thing which has
impressed me in favor of El Paso, and
that is its wonderful growth since my
last visit here. Its business has doubl-
ed, and numerous industries have been
started and hands ime dwellings and
stores now occupy lots which were for
merly vacant The old has given place
to the new, and a progressive spirit
permeates every branch of trade. Fur
th-r the new seoti ms wtiich are b-ing
opened up in this immediate vicinity
and the growing trade with Mexico in
dicate that an extensive flour market
could be worked up in these countries
pound wonld have to
port, and so far as the investigation has
gone that report will be most favorable. I
reporter, “before 8nSttta?any rej!“ be pipped to even eastern Texas. These
•r advising Mr. Sterling to invest his I are.the ouawderattona which are gov
erntng my decisions, and as soon as I
find out the wholesale cost of fi inr here
•r advising Mr. .Sterling to iuvest his
money here, I must first definit-lv as-
•ertaiu the wholesale prices of first-class
flour and other products or rather man
Mfacturered commodities of a mill. For
what price the millers of Minnesota,
Missouri and other points can afford to
put down their floor in El Paso. Tint
is wbat I desire to know. I wish to as-
certain what competition Mr. Sterling
wonld have to contend with, and fur-
thermore, I desire to know whether or
not, if all things were equal, the mer-
chants of yonr city would patronize a
home industry. These are two points
upon which I must seek information.
Should thu result of my investigation
prove satisfactory I will certainly ad-
vise Mr Sterling to lose no time in es-
tablishing his mill here.
“There is a vast agricnltnral region
tributary to El Paso. Western Texas
and New Mexico are raisiug thousands
of bushels of all kiuds of grain, and
there are railroads branching out in all
directions ready to bring this grain to
El Paso Again, there are the immense
grain fields of the state of Chihuahua.
Mexico All this great section conld
bede[»ended upon for a snpply of grain,
and as the White Oaks country and the
8ierra Madre region develops thissnp
ply of cereals will be increased. Then
we have the fatuous Pecos valley. That

he purchased some time ago Mr. Bryan

He is a close student and observant of

Of the numerous things which he has

“coonery." which will be built as scon
as the weather will permit Mr, Bryan
has advertised for 100 coons and has al-
ready secured several. They will be
placed in bis large barn until the
“coonery" is constructed.
There are four varieties of coons—
black, white, gray and brown The
black pelts are the most valuable. Mr.
Bryan figures that these 100 coons will
raise 500 young in one year. As the

and some minor points, thev can soon
tell whether El Paso is to have a big I
steam roller flouring mill or not H 'W-
ever, I did not at this time intend to
make the matter public, and am sorry
that it has got out. for there are bnn
dreds of millers looking for just such
chances, and if El Paso offers the in-
ducements l now think it does I wonld
want Mr Sterling to be first on the
ground "
When asksd Ss to the amount of cap-
ital it was proposed to iuvest in the mill.
Mr. Collier was reticent, but he stated
positively that it was not a question of
capital, bnt h"W large a mill El Paso
can support. He also added that as far
1 as he now knew everything was favor-
ably to the mill being built in this city,
and if it should be, there wonld be no
unnecessary delay iu its construction.
