PANAMA, May 22.-What chances have
Americans to make money on the 18th
mus Of Panama? Y
This question comes to me from differ
ent parts OF the United States. 1t is DIFF
Z fic,Et to answer. Panama Is a new coun-
4 try. backed by the United States. Its
government will be staple from now on,
:, Uncle Sans big stick will prevent reYo-
buttons. and the natives are anxious that
A their resources be developed. Large
i areas will be thrown open to settlement,
4 and lands may be leased or bought at
low prices.
"A Wet Country.
As it is now Panama is practically un-l
prospected. The country Is just about the
4 size of Indiana. 1t is over 400 miles long
II and 1t ranges in width from 81 to us
miles There Is mountain range which
winds Its way through It, being at Its
lowest along the line of the canal. There
arc rich valleys, and here and there.

\ canal zone in department known as the
h Chiriqui, from which the most Of the
cattle OF the Isthmus come. There arc
plains near Panama, and rich lands With
GU: trees between here and Colombia.
Rivers and Lakes.
The whole country Is well watered.
q Rivers Cow from the mountains down the
Atlantic s.nd Pacific sides of the lsthmus,
and some II the streams are navigable for
small vessels for quite distance from
the coast. This is so with the Tulra
River, which flows into the Pacific
through tho Gulf of San Miguel of the
Cocle the Rio de los Indios and the Gala
Bebora and other streams, Tho Chepo,
for instance, Is about 100 miles. and tho
II Chagres lO2 miles long. The latter is
y nayigable for small boats for sixty miles,
( and tho former for 125 miles. The sampu,
which empties into the Gulf OF San
Miguel, is navigable for about 90 miles,
and there are smaller rivers which enah.e

Money in Pearls.
II One of the chief Industries among the
islands arc the pearl fisheries. which are
worked by Pananans under concessions
from tho government, yielding several
hundred thousand dollars every year.
Pearls are found off both coasts, one OF

Islands, an archipelago about forty miles
away from here in Panama Bay. Pearls
