MoRMoNs GOING TO MEXICO.
A Colonizing Movement That We Will
Endeavor To BE Resigned tn


Ell PAso Tex Oct 1.-The Mormons have
recently purchased several large bodies of
agricultural lands in northern chihuahua
and are understood to be negotiating for
more. The movement of the Mormons into
Mexico has assumed large proportions, and
several fourishing colonies have already been
established in the valley of the Casas Grande
river. The recently published reports that
Zuni Indians had disposed OF large tracts Of
land to Mormon agents, or that the Mexican
government has made them concessions of
land, are, however, entirely without founda-
ton The Zunis are not Mexican Indians,
but are located in New Mexico, and the Mex.
lean government, while not opposing Nor
mon immigration, would certainly not offer
any inducements in the matter of grants Of
land. The purchases, thus far, have been
from private parties only,
