Perhaps the earliest experiment In
introducing Cornish miners into the
southwest mining region was that made
In the 'I0s by the English owners of
mines on the Maxwell grant. in Colfax
County, northern New Mexico. The
cowboys and Mexicans looked in amaze
ment at the immense, dark, muscular
fellows from Cornwall, who were SO
handy at sparring and wrestling, and
who knew absolutely nothing about
gun" The cowboys and miners got
along together with reasonable amity,
and in later years, with the general
mining development In New Mexico,
other West Of England men have been
brought by mining companies, or have
drifted on their own account, into the
mountain regions of that territory.
Thus a Briton travelling in southwest
New Mexico, on approaching a lit Q
hamlet by night, was surprised and
pleased to hear the heartiest and jolli-
est of old English ditties, sung with
the broadest West of England burr"
and accompanied in the proper places
by vigorous stamping and a chorus of
manly voices in the same brogue. He
had stumbled upon little settlement
OF Cornishmen, established short
distance west of Pinos Altos, and known
as "Jacktown."
