P.
L. Krouse, who is engaged in mining at Alto, became a
resident of Lincoln county, New Mexico, in 1887. In 1883, he had
settled near Seven Rivers, where he took up a ranch and engaged in
cattle-raising until 1887, when he came to Lincoln county and
secured government contracts for building and repairing. When his
work in that direction was completed he turned his attention to
mining interests at Parsons and Eagle Creek, developed the Hopewell
mine and other properties, carrying on business for the White
Mountain Mining Company. He has now for a number of years been
actively associated with the development of the mineral resources of
New Mexico and his practice, experience and knowledge well qualify
him for this task.
Mr. Krouse made a creditable record as a
soldier of the federal army in the Civil war, serving as captain of
Company E, Fourth Kentucky Cavalry. He took part in Morgan's raind
and in the battles of Fort Donelson, Fort Henry, Pittsburg Landing,
Lookout Mountain and other important and sanguinary engagements, and
was three times wounded. In matters of citizenship he has ever been
loyal and progressive, and in business has displayed keen insight
into conditions and a thorough understanding of possibilities that
have led him to recognize the advantages that New Mexico affords and
to ally his interests with the work of development and upbuilding
here.
