NEW COAST OUTLET. The International Con- pany's Railroad Survey. From Yuma to San Diego
 Via Ensenada.
The Surveying Party Crosses the Desert-ResOurces of the COun-
 try to Be Opened Up.

Some years ago, when the writer was employed as a reporter on one of the Los Angeles newspapers, he was informed by an agent for the International com pany of Mexico that survey was about to be commenced by that company for a line of road from Yuma to San Diego via. Ensenada. That survey has been completed-with eminently satisfactory results-judging from the following from the Yuma Times: Colonel D. K. Allen, land inspector of the International com pany of Mexico, and pioneer engineer of the Peninsula Railroad company, from Yuma to San Diego, via. Ensenada, came up the Colorado river on Saturday last, having arrived direct from San Felipe, 200 miles south of here, on the Gulf of California. Colonel Allen for the past seven months has been at work carefully examining the lands of the company lying east of the main range of mountains and between them and the Colorado river, and south to Point San Fermin, and in looking up the natural resources and routes over which his company can build their railroad from here to Ensen- ada, San Diego and other points. All of the numerous questions as to soil, climate. productions, facilities for irri- gation, wells, springs, tanks and other opportunities for obtaining water, have received his attention.
 He believes that this hitherto sup posed desert region has a bright future before it, and, with water for irrigation, which, he says, can be obtained, rail road to open up and develop, if proper efforts to induce immigration of the right class of people to settle upon and till the soil, says "that it will be splendid country" He also believes that the railroad will surely be built and that, too, at no distant period. He has full faith in the plans of the Inter- national company and is confident that they will be able to carry out their con- tract with the Mexican government and settle up Northern Lower California.
 Having resided in that Territory for the past eleven years and, during that time, travelled nearly 10000 miles over the company's lands, while ill ther em- ploy as Land Inspector, he is therefore, highly qualified to express an opinion on the future prospects of that section. He scouts at the "tilibustering" ideas of an excited woman or two and few loco men in San Diego, who only howl coyote- like to hear the echo of their own voices. He says: ''I know nearly every Mexi- can man, woman and child near the frontier, and more loyal set of people never lived. 1 do not know of traitor among them.
 They love their Republic and will fight for it to the end. The "fillibuster- ing fake" is the outcome of the bile and discordant stomachs of few dead-beats, adventurers and bad eggs who live in up muss somewhere! Most of them are deadbroke and cannot pay their board bill, and because they are in trouble themselves do their best to make trouble for others about annexation. No. Let Mexico alone; help her to de- velop the wonderful natural resources that she possesses and thus prove to her that the United States is a sister Repub- lie we'll worthy of her confidencew
 Colonel Aliens report will soon be made to his company. His elaborate maps are nearly finished and will be published and placed on sale. They were prepared with much care and will be of great service to those wishing to visit that region. He believes that there are many good gold and silver mines not yet opened to be had for the prospecting and locating. He has thoroughly ex- plored New river through its branches and tributaries 800 miles, and the wOn- derful volcano region has also received close attention. On his trip to the south he travelled 300 miles on foot after losing his mules, and at one time it was feared that he had perished on the desert, but he returned safe and sound, The Inter- national company deserve word of commendation for inaugurating the ex- tensve work described, whereby they will obtain possession of all the impor- tant facts relative to the great valley of the lower Colorodo river. Colonel Allen returned on Monday to resume the work now nearly completed.
