NUMBER AZ.

Wednesday we made out to reach
a point some six miles this side Of
Point of Rocks. The route was a
rough and desolate one, there be-
ing no signs of civilization thereon
save empty beer bottles scattered
at regular and irregular intervals on
either side.
Friday morning we set out a
gain, and in a rain storm reached
Thompson's where we hived until
Saturday morning, loosing some IS
hours.
Saturday, about II o'clock a. NJ.
we landed at Jerry Hockradle's,
where we partook Of royal dinner
magnanimously rendered us by host
and hostess and at 4 o'clock p. m.
we wheeled into White Oaks, much
refreshed by our trip, and better in
formed as to our surroundings than
before.
Space forbids further particulars,
though we chafe to give them, such
as were interesting to us, and
which we believe would be to our
readers. In some other connec-
ton we may be enabled to retail
them in the early future.
We cannot close this article with
out noting the fact that on the av-
erage the roads between this camp
and Santa Fe are the best natural
ones we ever saw or travelled over.
And the country, the scenery, is
truly grand, being interspersedwith
hills and valleys, prairie and table
land, and mountains the most col
lossal we ever set eyes upon, so
high that one would imagine that
a man upon the apex of the high
est could hear the angelic choir,
and see the cherubims and sera
phlms as they fit through the
courtways of heaven. Gov. Ritch
in one Of his works, says that the
highest of some New Mexican
mountains is $4,000 feet.

NORTH HOMESTAKE

which wos the first mine discover
ed in that auriterous mountain. 1t
was discovered in 1879, by the lam
ented Jack Winters. Jno. Wal
tiers the present foreman, has been
in charge of this mine since the
Goth of May, 1880, to the present.
Had Winters lived it is more than
possible, aye, more than probable
that the litigation which has evolv-
ed since his demise would have
never developed, and consequent
benefit would have accrued to the
camp.
On our arrival we were court
eously received by Mr.. Walters,
Mr. Ferguson, the custodian,
being absent. But little has been
realized from this mine owing to
litigation, but its product is ack-
nowledged to be rich and apparen-
tly inexhaustible. 1t is owned by
the Winters heirs, j. A. La Rue,
and Mrs. j. j. Dolan.
Up to the present time there has
been 10 feet Of shaft sunk, and sc
feet of tunnel tapping said shaft.
The mine is well timbered and the
track for transfer of ore from mine
to dump mechanically and mathe
matically laid, and the cars match,
making tout ensemble difficult to
duplicate.
What especially attracted our at
tention was a windlass reachin dowr
into the depths of the mine, carry
ing the buckets, so contrived tha
when one bucket ascended to the
surface level and was being dump
ed, the other bucket was below anC
being filled. The windlass i,
worked with such ease as would
convey the idea that both buckets
were empty. This contrivanc'
was the outcropping of the geniu
of N. j. Strumquist and Jno. Wal
ters.
This mine employs two 10 hou
shifts of 7 men, 3 on each shift anC
foreman.
The employees, under the pecu
liar circumstances surrounding, ar
tongue-tied as to the product o
the mine.
A little east Of north from th
North Homestake and condguou
to the latter mine is what is know
as the

Dyer, and Sam Butcher, we started
III a spring wagon to Santa Fe, go
ing to Ozane & Anderson's mill,
which is scarcely nearer or further
to or from the Ancient city, than
White Oaks.
Early on the morning ofthe 18th,
we set our faces in the designated
direction, and at II o'clock we
pulled up at Jerry Hocradles's
where we were earnestly welcom-
ed, and regaled with a glass of
milk. Jerry's possessions are stu
ated very pleasantly, his residence
nesting in the heart of park
which would make a Minnesota
lumberman smack his lips. Two
miles from Jerry's we tarried for a
midday meal, when one OF our
horses concluded the time and
place as good as ne could select, in
in which to enjoy taste of the
cholic. Food he wouldn't taste.
He gave evidence of terrible agony
and our souls were filled with the
apprehension the horse would go
where all horses 60, and we would
90 to White Oaks on foot, instead
of to Santa Fe by wagon. We had
no horse medicine, but one of the
party had bottle Of whisky which
he was carrying for mechanical pur-
poses, and he proposed treating the
horse with portion of it, and did
SC. One potion Of it, revived the
dropping spirits of the animal and
in the course of a couple of hours
he recovered the use of his feet.
We were apprehensive that the
horse having acquired a taste for
liquor he would pretend to have
the cholic every day thereafter, but
the animal did not have horse
sense, and gave us no further
trouble until we reached Santa Fe.

After viewing the North Home
stake, the Solitaire, and some pro

Henry Patterson we clambered the
hills until we reached
THE LITTLE MAO.
After a vigorous walk up and
down the hills, we came upon the
Little Mac, where we were met by
the capable and suave foreman
James Cvlp, who received us gra-
ciously, and favored us with all
desired information. Work on this
mine is progressing rapidly. Three
shifts are employed, consisting in
the aggregate, Of Is men. A shaft
8 by 5, is being sunk, to connect
with the wlnze, at the 100 foot lev.
ell. ("Winze," in mining par
lance, is a shaft which does not
connect with the earth's surface.)
The shaft is now down 60 feet.
When connection is made, the
work of sinking will be resumed,
and all ores will be raised by horse
power. A tunnel cuts the ledge
40 feet from the surface. This
tunnel is about 800 feet in length.
A drift has been run 90 feet upon
the veins and is opened for TOPPING.
The whole roof of the drift is in
high grade ore, which will assay
in the thousands. At the $50 foot
level, o station has been cut out
and level run 40 feet upon the

FROG EATING AMERICANS,
Alarm i'm England Over the Threatened
Importation of the Amphibians.

Alarm HI fuElnnu ONer inc threatened
Importation OF the Amphibians.
The Americans, if not great innovators
arc the most skillful imitators and adapters
Of other peoples innovations, says tho Man
chester (Englsnd) Examiner. Like other apt
pupils, they soon learn to surpass their
teachers. These we'll known national char
actoristics are receiving fresh illustration
in the adoption of frogs as an article of food
In Europe those tasty amphibians have long
been esteemed o great delicacy, and years
ago Englishmen medtating visit to Franco
regarded the possibility of feasting unawares
upon frogs as one of the gravest dangers of
their expedition. The peril was not great,
for no restaurateur was likely to supply any
of his guests with such bonne bouche without
dulynotifying the fact and making a corre-
spending charge in the bill. Still, the frog eat
ing Frenchman was byword on English lips
1t appears, however, that frogs are regularly
served in all the first class hotels at Boston,
and are generally esteemed as delicacies in
private family. In fact, the catching, breed
ing, rearing, fattening, and sending to mar
ct of frogs has become a great business in
which many hundreds of persons are en-
ployed. The country towns in the neigh
borhood of Boston, Cape Cod and Maine are
the chief districts in which these creatures
are caught and prepared for the market
One frog catcher alone sends from fifty to one
hundred dozen per week to the New Orleans
market, where the demand is SO great that the
supply falls far short of the requirements of
the public, and the price is corformingly high.
We presume that in America, as in France,
the hind quarters are alone eaten, and, as the
cost of frogs is from so to so cents per dozen,
the dish must be q tolerably dear luxury, and
is likely to become more so as frogs become
fewer and their admirers moro numerous.
Ava nfp lao rloI
frogs, but. moro catholic in their tastes than
the French, they eat all kinds. What is still
more interesting to the Britons, they are
already moditating a large export trade in
new luxury to England.
