As many inquiries are being made
about Mexico and our colonies
there, we have TO report that geneF-
al health and prosperity prevail;
the late rains were timely and have
done much good. The colonists are
building comfortable houses, and
our relations with each other, with
our nelghbors; aud the government
are friendly anu peaceable. The
CLASSES Of material used in building
are adobes, brick, lumber and rock.
The price OF lumber at saw mills +
about $40 per thousand. Some 5O,0 600
! fruit trees and vines have been set
out, with steady progress in making
bitches Tor irrigation, improving
lads, opening roads, etc.
