agents work Mexican business which they secure
both by rail and water
This Is about the right time for excursion Crops

sources of silver for which the demand is active and the
Price high Arrivals from the Mexican state tel the
greatest activity in the development Of silver properties
and the production Of that metal There is also pro
duction Of copper
There is much activity in the Pacific coast states Of
Mexico that while the slump in copper mining thrown
