than all the Europeans that preceded
them since Columbus discovered
America. Ever since they came nto
the country peace and prosperity have
followed them, 50 that life and prop.
erty Is as safe here as 1t is in tn Q
United States.
MEXICO
is an unknown and an undeveloped
country. Her mineral and agricultur.
al resources are as yet undeveloped
and they await the men of capital and
muscle to dig the eres out OF the
mountains, cultivate the soil and
build up her waste places.
Some of the first American pioneers
that visited this section were
CITIZENS OF PHILADELPHIA.
Among the first that came here
was Mr. Casper s. Butcher and FL.
B. Butcher, NJ. D., f. Russell and
ploring the mountains in the vicinity
Villaldama, Bustamate, Lampazos
and Candida. They discovered and
located many mines in the states of
Nuevo Leon and Coahuila. With
them came James Baxter, b. f.
Larue and others and who are work
ing our fifty mines in the Minas
Virjas district, Villaldama.
MEXICO
is productive country. Her resources
are immense. She offers greater in
ducements to capitalists than any one
of the Spanish countries.
She imports from and exports to the
United States more goods and ma
chiuery than either of them. She is
o better country to operate in on &C.
count of her railroad facilities and
close proximity to the United States.
What have the
MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS OF
SAN ANTONIO
done towards capturing some of the
trade of this country? There is a rich
field here for them TO operate in.

They are the guests of Col. B. F.
Larue, the general manager of the Ell

PLAGIARISM.
The Two Republics which is pub.
lished in the City of Mexico is guilty
In its issue of December the 2nd it
published Edmond's letter to
THE DAILY "LIGHT,n
dated Monterey, November the 18th
and published in the LIGHT as being
contributed by their correspondent
at Monterey, dated November 25th,
1891. If they think that they can i'm
pose on the public by such sharp
practice, let them at once be undo,
ceived; for sooner or later their
patrons will find out that a paper
that will stoop to such practice will
not long command the confidence of
the public. Edmond does not object
to any newspaper publishing the
news that he sends to the LIGHT or
any paper that he represents, pro-
vtding they give the papers credit for
it. EDMOND.
