DRIVE DOWN THE PECOS.
(Continued.)
The Huiiiestake mine is about cue
mile front the town of White Oaks,
up Baxter gulch. Thi minchas been
considerably worked and develop
ment i being carried forward under
the efiicient management of .John A.
Walters. A tunnel lias beed drifted
iu and intercepts the original vein at
a depth ot about GO feet from the top.
The mineral where the tunnel inter
cepts the vein shows as well as it does
on top; thus establishing the charac
ter of this important mine. An air
shaft is being put down from where
the first 6tnke was made to t lie tunnel.
While there we secured several very
beautiful specimens of free gold ore.
Oue thousand ounces of ore were tak
en from the dump and crushed in the
arrastra. This ore did not show any
siííns of gold but when the clean up
was made the retort developed an
amount of wealth unexpected by the
owners. From the one thousand
pounds of ore $11 of gold were ob
tained. The mine is in an easv posi
tion to work. The only thing that is
lacking is water, but that can be piped
from the spru.gs in the Cariza moun
tains only two miles distant. This
system of piping will also carry the
water through the town which will
be a great saving of expense as the
same pipes will furnish water for
both.
This valuable mine is now owned
by La line, Dolin, Lieut. Wilkinson &
Co. Machinery is now on the road to
work the ore.
John A. Wilson, an old miner, is
makiug an extension which is called
South llomcstake. lie is drifting a
tunnel and lias already obtained free
gold.
Between the South Ilomestake and
the town, along the same gulch, the
Silver Cliff, Black Prince and several
other mines are situated. A shaft. GO
feet deep has been sunk on the Black
l'rince and a tunnel drifted in to in
tersect ir. The ores of tins mine show
up well and are undoubtedly very
rich.
To the north-west ofthe Ilomestake
the Lit tie Nell, belonging to Will
lludgens, is situated. A tunnel was
also being drifted in on this mine.
The first free gold was reached while
we were there. The ore in this mine
is verv similer to that of the Home-
stake and is likely a continuation of
the same lode. The Little Nell will
bo inferior to no mine in the west
when properlv developed. These
mines are all rieli in gold as is indi
caled by the placer diggings i.i Bax
er Gulch. Mexicans are washing
gold thcje all the time and are mak
ing good wages clearing from $2 to
$3 per day, and having to haul their
water a distance of two miles at that.
A number of i Id lashioued rockers
are to be found all along Baxter
Gulch.
Our lime was too limited to per
mit us to visit the other mines in the
vicinity or the the carbonate beds,
yet enough was seen to satisfy us as
to the future ot these mines, at least
in a mineral point of view.
The town of White Oaks is growing
so fast that its own citizens hardly
know it from time to time. About
150 houses have been uuill. some of
which are very good ones.
Moses Burk and Chas. Starr do the
restaurant business of the town.
Both of them havcugood run of busi
ness. A. M. Janes, formerly ot this city,
has a well tilled store and Is doing a
thriving business.
M. Whileman is putting in a stock
of goods that is iu entire keeping
with his energy and enthusiasm. Mr.
Whiteman never believes in doing
anything unless he does it in the right
way.
Frank Lea has a well tilled grocery
iyid a splendid trade. Mr. Lea can't
help but do well as he is a careful
business mau and also owns a large
tract of land on North Spring nyer,
which is a bonanza in itself.
West & Dedrick have a well stock
ed liver v stable. Thev are doing a
big business.
Win. lludgens and James Patter
son are the principle saloon keepers.
Mr. lludgens is enlarging his build
ing by iniiking it two story
Mr. Sweet has u large and well
selected stock of dry goods
and groceries. There are three butch
er shops kept in the town. James
Reynolds owns one and our friend
Cha, llerbei is in charge of one of the
others. Harry Durgis, formerly in
Iho employ of Win. Shupp, of this
place, is driving a good trade in the
blacksmith business. Dr. J. A. Tom
hnson has a well stocked drug store
and were it not for the universal
healthfulnpss of the climate, he would
have a good trade. However lio has
all the trade in that line iu the com
munity and is therefore doing well.
Mr. Lavvson has a news stand that
does credit to his energy. lie is also
postmaster. Dr. W. G, Mitchell lirs
a business office in the fame building.
He is dealing extensively in real estate
and mines.
C. Esving Patterson of this city
does the legal business of the place,
lie is building up a substantial prac
tice. S. L Wilding, formerly of Watrous
has all the work he cm attend to in
carpenter business.
The o'd adage that "a man's faith is
shown by his works," is aptly illus
trated by Fletcher A. Blake, who lias
the only saw mill in that district. Mr
Blake is cutting lumber night and
day. The Utile town is built with
the lumber cut at his mill, yet when
the mill was taken in there it was at
a time when everything looked the
gloomiest for White Oaks. The ex
pense too was no small affair, but time
and a steady nerve brought its re
ward and it is a rich one. The mill is
situated in thcCmon del Ojo, three
miles from town.
John A. Brothers is building the
first stone house in the town. It will
be used-as a residence.
The Nogal country also contains
niauy rich mines, as also does the
Jicarrillas. Lack of time prevented
me from visiting cither of these
camns. therefore we are unabla to
give them as nduute a description as
they deserve.
J. II. Mosely and Lloyd M. Scheil
report very favorable on their mines
in the Jicarrillas, and we have no
doubt but that they have a good
thing.
Mining stocks are firm and on the
rise. Mines are not selling at ficti
tious prises but as they are more and
more developed, ready sales are made
at fair prices.
As yet there are no newspapers in
the town, but the material for one is
now on the way. This paper is to lie
edited by Mr. Wise.
White Oaks, situated as it is, in the
very centre ofthe several mining dis
tricts, with plenty of good water, and
an abundance of limber, and backed
by all the rich coa!, silver and
gold mines, the rich pasture lands and
t he fertile agricultural dist ricts on the
Pecos ; blessed too with a el i mat e un
equaled in the world for its magnifi
cence, is soon destined to be one of
the first, cities of New Mexico.

Shooting Affaii
Wednesday night aficr the joint
discussion at Upper Las Vegas had
closed a shooting o Hair took place. It
seems that a number of men had been
in Campos' saloon. A quarrel arose
between one C. Homero and another
man, Sayille Mestes interposed and
was severely shot. The ball entered
the body about six inches above the
hip and has not yet been found,
though Dr. Bayly, the attending phy
sician probed for it, but. was unable
to discover its whereabouts. Romero
left as soon as the shot was fired end
has not yet been caught. It is thought
the wound will not prove fatal
though it is serious. Mestes is a young
married man.
