MOUNTAINOUS. The valley and undulating
land is susceptible of a high cultivation and
produces cotton, corn, sugar cane of superior
quality, and all the cereals. and is well calcu.
lated TO produce coffee. The land is al so well
covered with an abundance OF nutritious
grasses tor stock purposes, aud in the noun
tainS plant called Sotol is abundant, which

during the winter season; this plant contains
great amount Of sacchaFine matter. and is
used extensively in Mexico for fatLeniug pur,
poses.
The San Rodrigo river traverses this land,
| the head springs being located on the tract.
From this stream large portion of this land
can be irrigated. There are also innumerable
springs OF permanent water scattered over

distance south of the tract. Both of these
| trunk lines center at Eagle Pass, Texas, thus
giving an all rail connection with all parts of

section cannot he excelled in any part of the
world. The inhabitants are a thrifty and
hospitable people, and life and property is as

etc., but also in religious and political liberty,

but two transfers from the Government of
Mexico TO the present owner. This land is
