worked. Last April this property was
purchased by S. d. Fulton and Kean
st. Charles, and since then they have
sold three-fO" rths of the property to
promineI zens of st. Joseph, Mo-
This min, now being worked under
lease by Fulton and st. Charles, and We
found the latter in charge of the prop
erty. 1t has been opened by one fifty
foot prospect shaft and awOrking shaft
22O feet IN depth. At the present time
ore is being taken from the ITO foot
level, where We saw body of gold and
silver ore four feet in width which we
were informed is very easily crushed
and amalgamated, thirty inches of it
running SGS and the balance of it $22
per ton. They are now erecting stamp
mill short distance from the miIe for
the purpose of working this ore. The
mine is we'll tmbered and in good work
ing order, and we expect to learn of its
paying handsome profits. We are in
formed that this large vein is easily
traced on the surface for a distance Of
some twelve or fifteen miles, 5. ID. Full
ton, one of the owners of the Occidental
is also largely interested in gold and
silver mining property in Old Mexico.
He owns the Chill gold aud silver mine
Sonora, upon which he will erect a mill
this winter. He also controls under
bond, for sale, group of gold mines in
Sonora, and several valuable copper
properties.
ENGLE,
on the A. 7. & S. f. R. ,is of ippor-
tance principally because it is the rail-
road and supply point for all of the vast
section described, and of the Fra Chris
tobals, CabaIlO, San Andreas and other
mountains and mining camps, 1t is so
much nearer these points and connected
by so much better roads than any other
railroad town that it will be almost
impossible for Engle to lose the busi-
ness secured by these natural advan-
tages. It's connected with the Black
' Range by the Southwestern tri-weekly
stage line, which carries the mail, and
for which Mr.. Alex. Rogers is agent.
After many weary ride over many a
weary stage route, we have at last
found one which corresponds with
those famous stage rides told in stories
where the stock is of the sleekest and
; driven on the dead run, SO that it is Il
pleasure to sit on the box and sail
through the air. The
HUMBOLDT HOTEL
is one of which much larger place
: might be proud. The genial landlord,
Alex Rogers, knows what good things
are and furnishes them to his guests.
: We alw ays look forward with pleasure
to the time when we will reach the
. Humboldt, and regret the time when
! we are compelled to take our Depart
ure. Engle is surrounded by fine
grazing country and boasts of having
, water works. Here is located the gro
: Gerry house of Armstrong Bros. s.

: the country tributary to Engle. In adj
: dition they run tri-weekly stage line
: to the Black Range The headquarters
: OF the Humboldt mining company, one
= : of the largest in New Mexico, is here.
. Among the prominent business houses
: we noticed was that of Alex Rogers,
who carries Il large stock of general
: merchandise and miners supplies. This
y store and postoflice we found in charge
of our old friend, Frank Rowe, who
was as quiet and serene as ever, not
withstanding he has been mining and
made quite stake. This time he told
