HUNTING FOR LOCATIONS.
There has been a number of per-
sons here the past week who were
hunting for locations. Some of
these want to get hold of timber
land with a view of going into the
lumber business; others to raise
oranges and tropical fruits, sugar
cane, and the dairy business.
Some of them have negotiated
for timber and fruit land. There
is no portion of the Republic that
alters such inducements for the
raising of fruit, vegetables and
sugar cane as the border states of
Nuevo Leon, COahuila and Tamau-
lipas. There are three trunk
railroads running through them,
which, connect with the Southern
Pacific and the international and
Great Northern in Texas, which
will carry the fruit and vegetables
to the north and eastern markets
in from two to four days, winter
and summer.

of silver, there is considerable stir
among the mining men in this Sec

lead mines. About years ago
they were discovered, an d recently
the General organized the GEL Car
men Mining and Milling company"
to work them. The company is
composed of San Antonio, Kansas

who are going to put a large force
of men to work to develop them.
General Charles has organized
company of SaltillO capt. |
talists to work grOupe of silver
mines which were located in the
same mountain. He informed me
