LETTER FROM OLD MEXICO Amanda (Rasor) Pike Writes Interesting Letter to Miss Blanche Rasor. Tamazula Durango, Mexico. June 16th 1010. Miss Blanche Rasor: Blanche, I do not kifqw when we will be back in Los Angeles. If we keep well and the work in the mine continues profitable it will be at least a year before we leave here. John and I ate the only Americans here yet but John has been writing for help as there is entirety too much for one man to. do to keep these Mexicans at work and to see that they do thmgs. right. They are an important■? and untrustworthy class of people. So, very soon there will be two more American men here to help. Then they can begin to ship ore. John has some out now but cant leave here to market it. The tunnel is now in abodt 165 feet and in about 50 feet more they expect to reach the shaft which is nearly full of water and this will drain it, then they can take out ore fast. It is so very dry, here now as the rains have not begun yet. We expect a big ramjmy day now. The river in front of our house and the mine has been dry over two months. We get water from a deep well in the river bed. There is always a wind or breeze coming up the canyon so we don’t mind the heat so much out here. The nights are most always cool so far. We are about 50 or 55 miles from Culiacan. I came out here mul^-back—my first ride of that , kind. Was stiff and tired for several days after. There is no wagon road after half way here. All the freight and ore is taken by burro trains. Things to eat out here in the country are very scarce before the rains begin. Our principal diet has been pink beans (frijoles) rice, dried meat and tortillas (corn cakes made Indian fashion). Some weeks we can get eggs and chicken and occasionally One or two bottles of milk then for ten days or more none. The cows are only milked when they come home. The owners are too poor to buy feed so the cows hunt their own living. The chickens the same. This week we recieved some boxes of provisions which the Company sent from Los Angeles. My! how good everything tastes—dried fruits, breakfast cereals, bacon, cymed milk, etc. They sent us a camp stove also but it is still in Culiacan as the pack mule couldn’t bring all and there was none to rent. I have been cooking over an open fire (furnace) ever since here —no oven to bake a thing. No bread nor butter and only a few messes of potatoes since here. Some days I felt a little “blue” when there was nothing but beans ! to cook. When the stove arrives I 1 can make bread and eat honey on it instead of butter. Just as soon as it rains so there is pasture we will get a cow then we will have i plenty milk but it is too warm to : make butter. Our hou,se has dirt floors (we! live on ground floor). My broom is a bundle of fine brush twigs tied together. I don’t do my washing nor carry the water. A Mexican woman does it for me. The women carry water jars and everything on their heads. They wash down in the river when there is water, using a flat smooth stone for wash board. It isn’t fashionable to iron clothes here. I iron only my outside dresses. Little babies and children up to 4 years seldom wear clothes (among poor people), and they are a pitifully neglected lot—-yet fat and healthy even though the dirt hides their faces, It is very fashionable here for women to hunt—hunt head lice off each other and the kids never wash their heads. In the country most of the people are so door they have no dishes

nor knives and forks. They use tortillas for plates and eat with their fingers. In this case if they were xysry hungry they could eat their plates also. I can begin to understand why they are so shiftless, always poor, ignorant and no hope or possibility of ever having it any better under present government and conditions and climate so warm. I have been sick several times here but am all light now again. I get homesick when I feel bad and get over it when I feel well. John cant get away so I must stay with him. We have canvas cots for beds and sleep out doors. The first two nights here we slept on a long table. The springs wouldn’t give and the feathers were all hard ha! ha! Solid comfort!

On Thursday a Journal representative called up a resident of the island but was unable to get any fact about the matter. Later it was learned that the unfortunate man was W. H. Wine, of Pierceton. Mr. Wine, it is said, had experienced several attacks of heart trouble and last Wednesday was just in the act of stepping into a buggy when he was seen by those nearby him, to reel and fall prostrate to the ground. That death was instantaneous is proven by the fact that he had ceased to breath, and no pulse could be found but an instant after the body had fallen to the ground. Last week’s Pierceton Record says: “Mr. Wine had been at the lake for an outing for several days, and although he had been in poor health for several months, it was not thought that his condition was dangerous. Mt. Wine was afflicted with stomach and heart trouble and had gone to the lake believing that a rest there would be beneficial.” “mts; Wine was at the depot to take the train for Warsaw when the word of her husband’s death reached her. Mrs. Jay Gordy was at Leesberg with her parents O. P. Wood and wife Tuesday of last week, to help celebrate their 31st wedding anniversary. Mrs. George Ross and daughter and Mrs. A. R. Strock and son, Kenneth, went to Leesburg Thursday to visit with the Ross family. Mrs. Strock and Kenneth returned Friday while Mrs. Ross expects to stay several days.
