streets and blocks are laid out sim
liar to Diaz. Here they have plenty
81 water, but not land sufficient.
There are fine orchards and gar
dens, and plenty Of timber Is located
in the mountains. The grazing IA
cilities are not so good as at Diaz-
AS branches OF the ward, the small
settlements of Pacheco and Corrales
are about thirty miles farther In tile
mountains in n ). w. direction,
where about one hundred Of our
people are located, and another small
settlement near the Mexican town
Of Casas Grandes Is called Francis
co. This has seventy five inhabit-
ants. The last three named places
are organized with presiding Elder
and Teachers. We own two grist
mills-one Mt Juarez, the other at
Casas GrRndes, n steam saw mill
twenty-five miles from Juarez- with
single, lath, planning and moulding
attachments.
The duty on all imported articles
Is generally very high, though for
those who colonize under the Mex
lean Colonization and Agricultural
Company (of which Apostle Moses
Thatcher is president and a. +.
Macdonald rianager) they are pre-
vileged 10 bring in many things free
Of duty. A list Of these was pub
lished in the NEWS some time ago,
and directions were given how to
obtain these concessions
A N fkuf = Fa.fuFr.aI n nltfnfn land
in the above named places Is TO
procure n recommend Of good stand
ing as n faithful Latter-day Saint
from the Bishop.
Persons wishing 10 purchase lands
outside Of colonies, either for in
dividual farms or ranches, can do 20
by applying to the Undersigned, as
we have in charge several large
tracts OF good Land, suitable for
gazing and agriculture.
This, like all new countries, has
many obstacles 10 overcome; but it
is n good place for Lltter-day
Saints.
As far rs the MeXicans are con-
cerncd we are entirely Isolated and
by ourselves. as we are not preach
ing to nor trying 10 convert them,
but rather let our actions sreak for
US. The best of feeling exists be-
tween US and the Mexican officials
and people.
Having no outside influence
among US, there is in our settle
ments a unity Of feeling and broth
erly kindness not TO be found in
many places occupied by the Saints.
The pleasant associations and peace
we enjoy reminds one OF Utah thlr-
ty years ago. Hence the people are
happy and content.
Last year We had taste Of fruit
Of our own growing, and this year
we will have sOme-such rs grapes,
peaches, apples and small fruits.
The next year we will have plenty
and To spare, and in two years time
we shall be / bic TO furnish TO OH
neighbOrs. To do this We expect To
start Il fruit canning factory.
Although we have had two I'M
usually dry seasons in succession,
yet our crops and gardens look well.
To those desiring 10 locate in this
country, would suggest that they
come and see before moving, Jour
neying by rail to Deming. Some OF
our people are there most OF the
time, and chances can always be
had Of coming here. IL can easily
be ascertained whether any Of our
PEOPLE are ut Deming by enquiry at
Cheney Bros feed aud sale stable,
Geo. II. Bloom, furniture dealer.
Lindauer; WOrmser r Co., general
merchandise. Information regard
ing our people can he given by these
gentlemen on application TO w. G.
Spence, Presidents office, salt Lake
City. Good rates TO Deming and
return, by rail, can be had.
In moving TO this country il is
useless for people TO bring stoves,
furniture and all heavy articles.
They can he bought as cheap In
Dehing or FL Peso rs in Utah,
In regard TO cattle and horses.
would say only bring what you need
on the way, as they can be pur-
chased here much cheaper Than in
the United States. Thus payment
OF duties may be saved and much
trouble avoided. rs on the free list
are allowed only animals used in
teams. Duty on the extra animals
Is rs follows: Ceilings $40, mares (
go and COWS 81 each.
Those expecting 20 get advantage |

here by doing this expense and |
much trouble may be avoided.
Postage from the United States 4
here is the same as I'm that country.
II is not safe 10 send registered /
letters or others OF value through the 1
mails, rs they are 80 unreliable. I
All money or articles Of value sent /
10 friends here should he addressed I
10 them at DeminE.
One advantage we have In this l
place for kitchen gardens and home /
orchards ia the adaptability Of wind |
mills for irrigation purposes. The /
watefe being near the sJirflce, and /
plenty Of wind coming ac7o=s the ]
mountain, from the Ocean, make il /
much cheaper and more convent
ent than ditch water. In fact |
we expect 90 utilize This power for /
grist and other mills IN preference
to steam. Those using wiudmills /
for irrigating gardens have had the
best results. Cheap wind-mills can
be bought at Deming and brought |
in free Of duty.
