Show IN MEXICO HOW THB MonMONB AKE POOnKSHI0 tubus Thb Provo Daily Enquirer contains con-tains a very interesting letter from Geo. W. Brown nt Colonia Huller, Chihuahua Mexico. Mr, Brown writes as follows. The Mexican government is not slow to understand when it is imposed im-posed uon by its more powerful nerghbor. When the question .of lead ores taken into tho United States began to nsnmo definite shapo, so ns to affect Mexioan ruin-urn. ruin-urn. 11 duty wan immediately in;po!-ed in;po!-ed nn nil animals which had cnme to tho republic up lo thattimp.and when tb MoKjnlry bill impod a heavvdutyon beef cattle, the government gov-ernment hire imposed an addition duty on that commodity, coming from across tho border,.fo that now the market for our beef is at thu 1 'ity of Mexico, instead of Chicago or Kansas .City and the change is decidedly beneficial, nwl it encourages encour-ages the homo industry. A party recently tried to find a wagon road noross theSrirro Madre rang to tho Yaqui river, but wern unsuccessful, the country abounding abound-ing in deep box and high rocky mountains, with now nnd thon small patches of fortilo land. Curious dwellings of the undents consisting mostly of caves walled up iu front nnd divided into room were discovered. They had.nppar ently been deserted r. long time but remains of their garden and little Holds iu tho shape ot apple and poach trees A specie of beans was discovered and brought away, which in Bize, color, plumpness and general gener-al mako up appeared to bo fully equal to anything now in uso, and quite different in appoaranco Many people are coming in horo and the country is building up fast. Recently the canal and rsorvoirs, with which this colony is to be sup-pliod sup-pliod with water, have bobti surveyed sur-veyed and found to bo oven bettor adapted to tho purpose than is usually us-ually thought, nnd what was stran-go stran-go and at the same timo gratify, tlio survoyors found that tho canal routu runs along 6idoof, anil u part way i.i. an anoient canal that anti-datns anti-datns tho coming oftho Spaniards. This leads from Casu Grandos river to tho rosorvoirs, which aro four in numbor, and to Bitunted that the water can bo drawn from ono to the othor and then into tho lands. There in no doubt that tho reservoirs wore ubod for tho same purposo that wo now propose using them . Tho weathor is warm and delightful delight-ful and tho now, comers, camping in wagons and tents, find but littlo inconvenience so far as cold tvoath-er tvoath-er goes. Thore is considerable talk of n railroad coming coon and ,wol hope it will asAumo diffinito shapo f in tho near future. l |
