Attorney at law Lexus Elfeo Baca of Albuquerque announces presence at all times of court across Bernalillo Valencia Socorro and Sierra counties. Devinwood Gold Silver and Copper Mining Properties in New Mexico referenced.
In the early 1880s two hungry prospectors strike the famed Bridal Chamber ore body near Lake Valley New Mexico. They assay 600 to 900 ounces of silver per ton before word reaches the mine that George Daly and Lieutenant Smith were killed by Apaches on the Gavilan trail. Pilot details recount Daly’s hospitality and a fatal clash that ends his life and Smith’s, with Hillsboro militia involved.
In September 1878 Comanches raided near Brazos River with General McKenzie in pursuit. Four hundred squaws were captured while many bucks fled to Fort Sill. The captives stirred clamor at Fort Sill, Leeper failed to promise release, and Christy the scout set out to fetch his sister from Jock's corral, under Gen. Grierson's orders to pacify the red men. The tale ends as Christy meets McKenzie’s concern over the captives.
