The Lincoln County leader. [volume] (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 1882-189?, 1888-05-26

The FL Paso Times interviewed
Mr.. Locke, senior contractor OF the
White Oaks r. r. on his return
from here to the city at the gate.
We extract the following two par
agraphs
"Did your investigation on the
trip you have just returned from
lead you tosconclude that the pro
posed road would pay 2"
I" 1t did. Our examination was
entirely satisfactory. We looked
only to the coal and lumber inter
ests, and wa were convinced that
it would pay to build the road for
the sake of the coal and lumber
alone, to say nothing about the
iron and other metals, tho gypsum
the rich agricultural lands aud 9TH
er sources of wealth. The opening
tor agriculture, fruit growing and
stock raising is as good as any
where in the country. A railroad
will furnish an outlet for all such
products which are now valueless
to the producers beyond what they
want forI their own consumption.
| suppose the gypsum beds there
constitute the largest deposit in
the world. 1t is said to be forty
miles long and ten to fifteen miles
wide. They tell me that plaster
of paris can be made there profta-
bly,, also ali excellent cement, and
as fertilizer it has no superior
There is plenty OF water in the
and 1t can be brought
down to irrigate the tillable lands
and to provide for cattle raising
We saw some as fine looking cat
tie on the read to White Oaks as
can be found anywhere.
"If it is a proper question, what
is the nature of your contract with
the Kansas City, FL Paso d Mexi-
can railway company Z"
1--WE offered to build the road if
the company would guarantee US
$500, 900, together with right of
way and terminal facilities The
agreed to this, saying
that they would get 800, 600 from
the citizens OF FL Paso, AID a ike
sum in bonds from Lincoln County
We take our chances OH being able
to dispose Of the road after il is
built. We agree to build the road
Just the same as any other contrac-
tor agrees to do piece OF work"
At the time OF this interview
Mr.. Locke was not aware that Lin
coin County, however willing she
might be to vote bonds, WAS inhib-
tied, but the r. R. will be built all
the same.

-S
THE following interesting data
about the route from El Paso to
White Oaks were furnished the
Times by Vice President Newman
from notes which he took Oh his
recent trip over the road /:
The first night out from FL Paso
the party camped at Globe Springs
4l4 miles from Ell Paso, and with
an elevation of 1890 feet. The
next day the party covered 35 miles
and camped at White Sand, the
popular name OF the locality where
the great gypsum deposit is found,
elevation $500 feet. The third
night was spent at Tularnso, 25
miles beyond White Sand, and 1O2
miles from El Paso, with an ele-
walton of 1890 feet. Tularuso is
an old Mexican town, with Il pop
ulation Of several hundred people.
nearly all Mexicans. The town Is
similar to all Mexican towns IN this
region, and lies in very fertile
and well irrigated valley, produc-
ing all kinds of fruits, vegetables
and grains in abundance.
The next stop was at Three Rlv-
ers, 10 miles beyond Tuiaruso, and
elevated 1853 feet, with a large
supply OF perfectly clear water
The party next stopped at Alcock's
where the elevation is $500 feet.
From Three Rivers to White Oaks
the distance is about 26 miles, and
the elevation at White Oaks is g.
343 feet, as against an elevation of
less than 3, 800 feet at El Paso.
Mesdames Nugent and Brown
made very pleasant call at the
"centre" on Thursday. Nugent
and Nowlin also called, but when
ladies are around Nogal roosters
don't count.
