mining man and South African oper-
atoE has returned from O trip TO the
Parral mining country In Mexico
where he has interests, and IL regis
tered at the Knutsford. He says The
movement into the republic OF Amefi'
Vhn tlu otHci lOltleu tdlildi dhN ~"
tcrprise Ia assuming greater proper
lions than ever, and that as the rall-
roads spread, this movement Is b.
coming more and more emphasized. The
old feeling against the 0ringo has
pretty well died out, and Mexicans are
glad enough TO see this Industrial and
commercial development. Mr.. Clement
says a S2,500,00O sInelter is going up Ut
Torreon, which is an illustration OF
what Is being done down In that coun-
try The Pan-American road is some
thing, he considers, as sure TO come IN
the not very distant future. and that
there will be plenty Of business for
such road he does not doubt. The
measureless tracts OF valuable hard
woods In southern Mexico and
Central America will then
be available, and as there are over
twenty varieties Of these, an Immense
traffic will spring up In costly woods
for northern consumption Mr.. Gle
ment thinks that the proposed road viii
take medal course through The
south country at an altitude that VIII
be healthful and avoid the malaria and
fevers Of coast levels.
