$oOOGOOO of town property, in all 81 3550O0OOO As

property in the City Of Mexico alone was valued at
more than ss0O0OOOO, and that of the other capitals
was worth from $250Oo0OO0 to $SG0OOO,0OO, all ill.,
Slnded in the foregoing estimate. Gen. Mata, the
Depuly from vera Cruz, adds TO these amounts $3s,
