Best Mexicans in Favor
Of United States

From a well known American who
has long been interested in mining IN
Sonora, the Review has received a
letter relative TO the feelings among
the better classes of MeXicans in the
section Of Sonora where his interests
are now located. remote from the
more travelled portions and the sec

Americans The letters needs no eX-

as possible. As rejecting the senti-
ment of one Individual and the senti-
ment which he states that he finds
the letter is Ct interest especially in
this section OF the country where the
mining interests are so closely allied
to those across the border
The letter is as follows.
A bright young Mexican IN one OF
the Sonora pueblos was asked When

life and property, the good citizens re-
