tapping rich mineral DEPOSITS and fine
agricultural and horticultural region
in the lower country.

the .gulf Of California was possessed
of large forests of fine timber and i'm
mense deposits of coal in both of

eminent of the United States would
make improvements necessary within
its boundary if the Mexican govern
ment would undertake to do as much
within Mexican territory, the lower
$50 miles of the river running in Mex
ico Minister Romero was very much
impressed with the representations
made by the governor and said he
would commend that his government
give the matter attention. He
thought the best way to proceed would
be for the two governments to join in
appointment of commission to in
vestigate the entire question.
