of San Miguel and San Antonio, as the 
home of ex-Governor Shepherd, the

famous mines is called. Entering through 
a massive stone archway, we passed by 
some of the principal offices within the 
inclosure, and then on to the residence 
portion of the great conglomeration of 
buildings. Here our welcome was of the 
heartiest description, and everything pos¬ 
sible was done for our comfort and pleas¬ 
ure. The great buildings were lighted 
by electricity and furnished with all mod¬ 
ern conveniences, including hot and cold 
water, steam baths, and, an unusual lux¬ 
ury, an immense swimming pool, formed 
by a slight deflection of a portion of 
the Batopilas River. The many comforts 
of this place made us loath to leave it for 
the mountain trail.
