to Guaymas. The other woslld pass across the mountains from Durango to Mazatlan. At present the shipment of freight across the Sierra Madre practically is impossible as the journey through the passes from Du- rango is about twelve days ride by muleback.
 Plans have been prepared to make Mazatlan and Guaymas deep water harbors. Two plans have been outlin- ed for Mazatlan, one to cost about twenty-one million pesos and the other about fourteen million. Either would, through breakwaters and di- version of the present channel allow ocean steamers of the deepest draugtt to dock directly at the railroad term ini and load and discharge cargo di- rect from an to the cars. Each plan would provide the filling in of a sec- tion now covered with water at cer- tain times of the day and the govern ment expects by the sale of this mad2 land to cut the price of the inprove- ments nearly two thirds.
 A breakwater which would deepen and keep clear the channel at Guay- mas also is projected. This, however, will cost much less than will the Ma zatlan Improvements.
 The government has also taken steps to reestablish operation of the lighthouses. along both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts many of which have been dark since ordered closed by Huerta after the American occu- patton of Vera Cruz in 1914.
