of 1000 inhabitants and is growing
rapidly and is building up as fast as
The lumber can be taken off of the ships.
There is a canning factory, planning
mill. two bTeweries. soap factory, wagon
shop. Touring mill and candy and match

house and the International company
of Mexico is now building a $4,000
wharf. Here is located the capital of
the north half of Lower California.
The country around Ensenada is fine.
but very little settled up yet or under
cultivation. The fields that have been
cultivated have produced large yields Of
corn. oats. barley. wheat potatoes and
all kinds of vegetables. without IrrIga-

These valleys are almost surrounded
by mountains aud in these mountains
gold has been found, not over twenty
five miles from Ensenada. All of the
lumber that is used here yet comes
from California or Oregon. but that
vii soon stop. for there Is now being
saw mills placed in the forests of Lower
California. which will not only supply
The home demand but will export lum-
Der. Fully fifty per cent of the inliabi-
tents of Ensenada are from the United

hand, the Mexicans have but very little
enterprise or industry to them Doug
