Show Intrepid Women Travelers. Mrs. J. B. Larkin and daughter, two American ladies resident in the City of Mexico, have returned from a trip into the tropical wilds of the state of Chiapas, Chi-apas, on the southern border of Mexico, such as few women have ever attempted. They traveled hundreds of miles over terrific mountain trails and through jungles jun-gles abounding with mountain lions, ti-i ti-i gers, wild hogs and other dangerous ani- mals, and for two days and nights they ; were lost in the impenetrable forests of Chiapas and met with other adventures strange to womankind. The trip was made as a prospect for desirable coffee lands, and they succeeded in securing, ; along with two other parties, a commission commis-sion for 24,000 acres of land at about 40 cents an acre, plus the expense of survey of the land.
