Is generally level, except in the West,
where the Sierra Madre mountains break
II up. There Is 4 great deal of fair
pasture land that's at present uuoccupied
that would furnish excellent grazing for
the overflow OF cattle from Texas. The
state Is rich In minerals, including gold,
silver, copper, lead and tin. II is not a
very good territory to acquire, but for
want Of something better 1t will do--un-
less the victor should be so remorseless
as to demand more, and take two or three
other states
II might be urged as an objection
against the annexation OF Chihuahua that
it would destroy the natural boundary
line between the two countries made by
the Rio Grande river This is a weak
plea. The Rio Grande does not keep
Mexican thieves and bandits out of Texas
any more effectually than an artificial
boundary would, and no better than the
