.
At the present time eastern Bolivia is
opened up to colonization until railroads
are built. There is no way to get into the
country excepting on foot or on mule back,
and no way to get the crops out. When
the railroad is completed to Corumba the
cattle can be driven there and shipped to
the markets of eastern Brazil but Just now
it is not possible to send them down to
Buenos Aires on account OF the heavy
freight rates of the steamers on the Para
quay and Parana rivers
So far all of the Bolivian railway building
has been confined to the plateau and it's
connections with the Pacific coast. Tho
most of the cities are still inaccessible except
upon mules, and there are towns of 10000
and $4,000 and more that can be reached
only by mules. Away from the railroads
there are practically no hotels fit for white
man to live in. The country inns are more
like stables than anything else, and in the
out-of-the-way places it is almost impossible
to buy food Of the Indians or to obtain
quarters in their huts for the night. The
beds of the inns are platforms made Of stone
or sun-dried brick, and the bedding is often
lousy and dirty. One should carry a camp
bed, and he should be supplied with rugs,
heavy boots and rubber coat or poncho
He should also carry along some provisions.
During my stay here have gone over the
exhibit that Bolivia has prepared for the
Sal. Francisco exposition. A large part of
this comes from eastern Bolivia 1t includes,
with other things, samples of fine timber
found there. About one-ffth of that who's
country is covered with trees. The AREA is
as large as he state of Missouri and the
timber is about the finest in South America
Some of it is so hard it will turn the edge Of
an ak, and great deal of it takes beauti-
full polish. The cabinet woods include
ebony, walnut, mahogany, cedar and lig
num-vitae Some of the trees are of great
girth and height, and the wood is SO heavy
that it will not float. 1t will require rail-
roads or steamers to bring it to the markets.
There are also many rubber trees-trees
that bear the silk cotton and those produc-
ing vegetable wax. Samples of all these
products will be sent to San Francisco.
Among the exhibits from the same region
are cacao and tobacco, and also Indian corn.
Eastern Bolivia promises to be one of the
great corn countries of the future. Corn
grows we'll not only in the low valleys, but
everywhere throughout the plains l have
described. The samples of corn to be sent
to San Francisco comprise Is different va
rieties, some grains being not bigger than
popcorn, while others are as large as the
largest thumb nail and quarter of an inch
thick. This latter kind grows on the pla-
teau, where the elevation is not too great.
The color is snow white, and the corn is so
soft that it appears to be made of flour
pressed into shape Another variety is jet
black, and others are red and pink. 1t is

consists of fertile plains that slope from the.
Andean wall toward the east, south and
north, and gradually fall to general level
where the highest points are only about
1000 feet above the sea. The plain fades
away at the north into the Amazon valley,
and at the east and south into those of the
Paraguay and Parana. The country is in
fact continuation of the great cattle fields
of Argentina, Paraguay and Matte Crosse,
and it may eventually be one OF the great
meat baskets of the United States. The
land already swarms with wild cattle, and
great herds are now feeding along the
banks of the Pilcamayo and on the borders
of the Paraguayan Chaco There are wild
cattle also in northern Bolivia, next to
Brazil, very near the tract of five million
acres taken up by Mr.. Murdo Mackenzie
and the Brazil Land & Cattle company.
That tract has the best of pasture, and it
is already stocked with 10000 beef cattle.
During my stay in La Paz have met a
number of explorers from eastern Bolivia.
l have also gone over the maps with DR..
Manuel Vicente Bolivian, the head of the
national bureau of statistics and the best
posted man in the world on the geography
and resources of this country Dr. Bolivian
tells me that the eastern part Of the republic
is by far the best part Of it, and that it will
some day support vast population. He
describes it as we'll watered by tributaries
OF the Amazon and Parana, and as having
a rainfall we'll fitted for crops. He has given
me a report just received from DR.. CUTLER
mo Velasco concerning the country. DR..
Velasco has devoted many years to the
study of this section, and in his report he
discusses the extension of railways and the
opening up of the mineral resources.
One of the great possibilities lies in the
petroleum deposits. Eastern Bolivia has a
strip of land running north and south for a
distance of 200 miles where the oil oozes
out of the ground and where it has been
used by the Indians for generations for
lighting and burning. A number of oil
companies have already been formed for
the exploitation of these deposits. and con-
cesssions have been granted to Americans
and others to develop some OF them. Among
the foreigners who are interested in the
region is the Farquhar syndicate, which has
vast properties in Paraguay and Brazil and
which has to do with the building of the
Madeira Marmore railroad, far up the ANA
zon valley. Experimental wells are now
being put down, and the prospect Of dis
covering flowing wells is said to be good
The chief difficulty will be the getting Of
the oil to the market The distance across
country to the Atlantic seaboard in a
straight line is considerably more than 1000
miles, and this will necessitate the pumping
of the oil over the high plateau of Brazil
If pipe line should be run from the lower
end of the field down to Ascuncion in Para
quay, and thence through the Parana valley
to Buenos Aires, the distance would be al
most twice as great, but the slope would be
gradual and uninterrupted all the way tc

publics of the southern half of the continent,
open up new territory. There are several
already planned and surveyed that will ma
terially affect eastern Bolivia. One is the
extension of the Antofagasta railroad which
runs from the Pacific ocean across the des-
ert to the great tin mining town of Uyun,
and thence on to the plateau of the Andes,
ending here at La Paz. This line has built a
branch from Uyuni to the town of Tupiza,
and it is now within a short distance of the
Argentine railroad system. Only about 100
miles remain to be built, but when this is
completed there will be a transcontinental
route across Bolivia from the Pacific ocean
to the Atlantic. This road will pass through
the southern part of the country, and not
very far away from the oil fields.
Another possibility of opening up eastern
Bolivia lies in the railroads the Brazilians
are building into Matte Crosse They have
surveyed lines to connect the Atlantic sea-
coast at the Bay of Sac Francisco with the
cattle regions of Matte Crosse within a
short distance of the Bolivian boundary.
The pastures of Matto Crosse will sup
port millions of stock, and they are only
about as far from Sac Paulo, the great city
of southern Brazil, as from New York to
Cleveland The Brazil Land and Cattle
company has formed an alliance with one of
the large packing companies of the United
States, and they are now erecting packing
houses at Sac Paulo. The cattle of Matte
Crosse will be sent there by railroad and
will be killed, dressed and frozen prepara-
tory to their export to the United States
and Europe. The short extension of this
projected road would reach the cattle fields
OF eastern Bolivia and bring them much
nearer the seaboard than our cattle fields
west of the Mississippi from where we have
shipped vast quantities of meat to Europe.
Another probability OF the near future is
that railroads will be built from the Argen-
tine boundary through eastern Bolivia to
Corumba, Brazil, with a railway center at
Santa Cruz. The latter town lies in the
heart of the petroleum territory, and it will
eventually be great railroad center.
A line has been surveyed from there to
the Marmore river, which runs into the Ma
deira and on to the Amazon and in the far
future this may be extended through the
Amazon valley to Iquitos. Another road
has been surveyed from the city of Cocha-
banda, high up in the mountains southeast
of La Paz, to connect with the Santa Cruz
extension where it joins the Marmore. All
of these lines, with the exception of the
southern connection with the Argentine
system, are in the future. However, the
Bolivian government has decided that the
Andean regions and the eastern plains must
be united and it is planning railroads to that
end. The Argentine government is anxious
to build its railroads into its undeveloped
territories known as the Chaco, and Para
quay has been invited to extend the railway
from Asuncion into eastern Bolivia with a
terminal at Santa Cruz.

IN ~ W\ South American continent,
NIYG9SA separated from the Pacific
ocean by trackless desert,
which belongs to Chile, with great wall
of mountains and plateaus running through
it from north to south, Bolivia, until now,
has been practically hermit land. 1t has
no seaport and until within the past gener-
alton it had no railway connections with
the rest of the world. Today the best part
of it is unknown. l refer to that on the
eastern slope of the Andes. The discov-
cries so far have been confined to the high
plateau, upheld between the two ranges OF
mountains This plateau is on the roof OF
the world. 1t is a great plain as big as the
state of Ohio, situated at height OF from
two and half to three miles above the sea.
1t is walled in by mountains, and is so poor
ly watered that it produces only the scanty
grass upon which the alpacas and llamas
feed 1t is bleak and barren and the winds
that sweep over it are so cutting that often
ion. This is knitted of alpaca wool 1t COW
ers the whole of my head having only small
holes for my eyes and mouth.
Nevertheless, this plateau is one of the
treasure vaults Of the world, containing vast
deposits of silver and gold, copper and tin
West Of this plateau is the desert, descend
ing into the borax lakes and nitrate fields
of Chile, and east of it is the main wall of
the Andes, on the other side of which are
vast plains that slope gently to the Amazon
and Parana river systems
Bolivia is wonderful country. 1t has
all-told an area of more than 100000 square
miles You could put New England and all
of the middle states and all the southern
states except Texas inside it, and there
would still be room to spare. Nevertheless,
it has only about as many people as Chi
cago, and its pure whites do not number
more than the population of either Mem
phis, Tenn, or Birmingham Ala. The
country has altogether something like one
million semi-civlized Indians and some
hundreds of thousands of Cholos or half
breeds. These people all live on the high
plateau of the Andes, region that has all
the cities and towns, and that practically
includes the whole of Bolivia as the world
knows it today.
East of the Andes is another Bolivia
This is the frontier or backwoods of the
country. 1t is inhabited only by few thou
sand savages. Nevertheless it contains
half of the area of the republic, and is said
to be one of the richest lands of the world
Eastern Bolivia is one-tenth as large as the
United States proper. 1t is equal to six
states the size of Illinois, and is one-third
larger than either Germany or France. The
most of this vast territory is well fitted tc

the sea- Such pipe line would have the
markets of the fast populating country of
Argentina on the way, and the oil would
command a ready market there for both
fuel and lighting.
AS to coal, so far none of value has been
discovered in this part of the world There
is said to be some in the northern part of
the Peruvian Andes and on the coast of
southern Chile there are great beds that run
far out under the Pacific ocean. The latter
mines have been worked for generations,
and they still supply large part of the fuel
of the west coast There is no coal in
Brazil sufficiently good to make steam or
smelt iron, and so far Argentina, Uruguay
and Paraguay have shown no fuel of value.
Mr.. Forbes, an eminent English geologist
who has done some work in eastern Bolivia,
says that an enormous carboniferous de-
post probably exists at the eastern foot of
the Andes and that geologic conditions lead
to that belief No soundings or borings
have yet been made, but one evidence is the
petroleum springs 80 miles from Santa
Cruz.
AS to the gold of eastern Bolivia, the In
dams have for ages been washing it out
from the headwatets of the Benz, and the
gravel of that stream shows color all the
way down to the Amazon. 1t is believed
that a great part of the treasures OF the
Incas came from the Benz and the English
and American miners are prospecting in
that region today Gold is being found in
Matte Crosse, Just across the border from
eastern Bolivia They are working placers
in the provinces of Santa Javier and also in
Santa Rosa, where during dry season they
bore from 80 to As feet down into the beds
of the canals and wash the dirt. Many OF
the rivers of eastern Bolivia have never been
prospected They have a deep undercur
rent, and run over slate and granite so that
the rough tools and clumsy methods so far
used have not proved efficient, except where
there are alluvial deposits thrown up by
the streams. These deposits are usually
about three or four feet wide, and of about
the same depth. Some gold is being found
in the River Quisere, which is about SO
miles long The Qt1sere flows over bed
of quartz upon which is an alluvial deposit
containing gold that could be worked by
the use of dredges. There are also quartz
deposits in the neighborhood of these rivers,
and the placer miners report the finding OF
quartz, visibly incrusted with gold. There
is one quartz vein in Santa Rosa, called the
Clemente, whose every test shows gold
The great difficulty however is in the
getting in of machinery and the reduction
of the ores. So far there are practically no
means of transportation.
And this brings me to the question OF
communications. South America is at the
beginning of great railroad era. New
