During his life, he farmed, ran a few head of cattle, reopened the State of Maine Mine, and processed the old tailing piles to extract the silver and gold left by the earlier miners. He and his brother, Louis Escapule, also designed and manufactured a portable unit that extracted precious metals from ores. These were sold worldwide.
He retired from the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Tombstone and now resides outside of Tombstone in a rural area.view less
