Game IS very abundant, There are large mines
OF bltuminous coal near Guerrero HE distance
between these two points, RInggold Barracks and
Fort Mcintosh is one hundred and twenty miles
4 By land and two hundred ana sixteen By water.
The next military post is Fort Duncan near
/ Eagle Pass car-soned by three companies OF the
First Infantry, under the command OF Colonel
/ Morris. It's about one hundred mieS Oy Ialii'
and two hundred and thrty-tour by water, above
Fort Mcintosh The only town OF any SIZE pc
/ tween Forts Mcintosh and Duncan IS lfeatdlo'
| situated SIX miles from the Rlo JfaHde opposite
| the ford at Preside Rio Grande and about thirty
miles from Fort Duncan. 1t contains two
thousand inhabitants and has garrison Of two
hundred men
A little town is sprineing up Just below Fort
Duncan which viii probably become one oil con
siderable commercial importance, as 1t IS near that
point where the roads from Mapml, Parras' Mon
clova Santa Rosa San Fernando NaVai ffesldlo'
&c. strike the RIO Grande
The soil between Fort Mcintosh ana \ orr D'lh'
can is excellent; but, in consequence OF the ire
nuent iDculsions of the Indians only small por-
| lion is under CIVILIZATIONS The farmers turn Their
attention on n grand scale to the raising OF sheep
and coots-aniDlals which the Indians never steal.
! Wild horses and game are abundant. Timber the
| e,roe as below Fort Mcintosh, with the addition
I of mccain. There are two inexhaustiblc mines OF
btu,ninous coal OF superior quality on the Texas
s;ao ~ tba riyer-specmens of which brought
! doy,,, by. Cant Love have tested.
There are several rich silver mines on the Mex
ican side some forty fifty miles back from IRE
sidio Rio Grandc, which were worked to advan-
| taee by the Spaniards before their expulsion, IN
! Zoo even after paying a handsome per ceataSe
| of the net proceeds TO the Mexican Government
! and the owners Of the land. Nothing prevents
tbeir hninc worked now but the want OF capital,
and norbans. energy.
There arr, no settlements either American or
Movican above Fort Duncan. neither will there
La ,,, until settlers are afforded some permanent
r-ot FOG AGAINST fine Indians.
The conntry and soil between Fort Duncan and
t}a ,nonth If Devils river are represented by
Cantain Love as beautiful and rich beyond de-
scrii,t;on md wo4ornd bv numerous streams flow.
