The Socorro Chieftain, which began as a daily in 1883, under the management of A. A. Helphenstein, who soon associated Judge De Baum in the enterprise, was conducted by Helphenstein's brother in 1887-1888, then for three years by Williams and Leicham, then by Williams alone two or three years, and under the editorship of Clem Hightower and Anton Mayor, each eight months. The Socorro County Publishing Company was organized March 3, 1900, and the paper has since been edited by Professor Emmet Addio Drake, with Anton Mayer as business manager.
