Show THOSE EXPLORERS We ventured to slate some days since that the expedition which started from Provo to drive wagons to Valparaiso Val-paraiso would easily make the journey as far a the southern boundary of Mexico but that from there on for a thousand miles the wagons would have to be dispensed with from the fact that there are no roads and the trails are dizzy ones That moreover were the journey possible it would be foolish because be-cause the climate Is most fatal to strangers I Is but fifty miles by railroad rail-road from Asplnwall to Panama I Is a route that was traveled for more than 200 years prior to tile time when the railroad was begun but there was no road for wagons The mule trails were I worn In places six feet deep In the solid rock but there was no road That II was the great Spanish highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific but no road I had ever been built And COOO men died of fever during tho construction of that railroad Hence to try to drive a wagon through that region Is simply to tempt Providence This Is so plain that we do not believe the PrO explorers ever dreamed of going further than Campeachy The mountains break down at Tehuantepcc there are railroads to hat point and one electric line la being built Into Campeachy I will be fair sailing up to that point We predict that the expedition will not venture beyond be-yond it Mol we do not believe that It ever Intended to go beyond that point The ruins there have attracted many explorers and are most interesting Several books have been written upon them Mr Joseph Goodman of Call I ornia believes he has discovered the key through which the signs and ilcroglythlcs there can be translated The expedition will doubtless be able to unearth many most Interesting relics here and we take it that Campeachy will mark the southern limit of the journey of the wanderers I ought toe to-e a most interesting journey ahd The Tribune hopes that it will prove a great success |
