fury ago, and ever before the discovery
Of gold in California. that part OF Mexico
was known to many residents Of San
Antonio and other towns In Western
Texas as one rich In gold and silver.
But from several causss which are now
well understood. capitalists refused to
invest In them, and p%rospeotors without
capital declined the psrils OF explora.
ton. It was found that whenever an
American opened and developed . mine,
he Was liable at any revolutionary urn
to DO robbed by tho leaders Of the suo-
csssful party; and he therefore had no
guarantee that what hs might make
could DO his own for . month ahead.
This prevented the Influx Of American
capital. The euerrilas and Indians
barred out unarmsd and unorganixed
prospecting parties, and all armed and
organized parties set aioot for that pur-
pose ct once drew upon themselves the
sharp and prohibitory attention Of the
Mexican Government. What has Of
late occurred In that country to encour.
age the reported exodus from Texas to
the new FL Dorado, We cannot yet divine;
but II the stories be true, or half true.

thing can happen and not cause warliie

possible. The American mining adven.
turer is naturally aggressive; the Mexi.
can naturally suspicious and jealous Of
