NORTHERN MEXICO.
Facts And Figures Relating 90 that
Interesting Country.
San francisco Call

san Francisco CALI
A Call reporter interviewed yesterday
a gentleman who has passed the greater
in the northern border-lands of Mexico,
and who, in pursuing his profession of
typographical engineer, has had ample
opportunity to judge the merits of this
proposed addition to our territory. For
business reasons, he prefers having his
name kept from print at present, but
intends, should the annexation scheme
result In success, to publish a work
descriptive in particular of Sonora and
Chihuaha. He was employed for several
years by the Mexican government, under
Santa Anna, Cargera and Macmillan,
in making surveys and critical reports
upon the mineral resources of the six
northern States, including Lower Califor-
MIA, Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango,
Coahulla and Sinaloa.
HE CONSIDERS ANNEXATION
not only matter of policy, but almost
necessity, for our government, arguing
that the control Of this marveiously valu-
able country would make the United
States the money market of the world,
with exhaustless mines to draw upon,
and a soil whose fertility has only been
tested, which will produce crops unequal
ed as vet in the history of agriculture.
The middle and lower classes and the
politicians are bitterly opposed to change
of goyernment--the former because OF
their almost bestiaI ignorance, which
cannot grasp the idea of improvement
the latter from the knowledge that such
change would summarily END
their system of fraud and peculation. Nc
pretenee of rule could be more abused
Injurious or degrading than the one which
at present exists in these unfortunate
States, foF it is a highly exagger
ated copy of the municipal rings which
are a curse TO our land, Annexation Ii
strongly favored, on the other hand, BY
the entire class of moneyed men an6
property-holdels, including the rancheros
the hacienderos, the merchants, miners
and, of course, foreigners,

Afforded by the Centennial of 1876 is
,;rikingly observable
In reference to this matter reporter

near bright coal fire, in the quiet en-
ioymcnt of a pine, the fragrant wreaths
Of smoke testiivIng that the weed he
used was II product OF the sacred

reply to various inquiries he said that

made no reference to it IN his last annual
message to the Legislature, which body he
was glad to state was about to pass law
appointing three commissioners, whose

Hon. \. T. Boteler, OF this State, a
