The 1erfazas lands were nearly all

to the last half OF the nineteenth cen

people and practically impossible to
maintain the estates intact. 1t was
during this period that Gen. Terrazas
began the purchase of lands In the
region. one Of his first deals. for one
half of the Hacienda de Encinillas,
was made In November, 1868, with the
understanding that he would assist his
copartner Enrique Muller, In driving
the Indian marauders away. Head
quarters were esta Jlished in advan-
tageous localities and armed men

herring 200 TO 800 men.
Gen. Terrazas bought out the inter

chases were made by buying up mort

quired from private owners.

Eucinillas and other ranches, was
completed in 1882, giving a great i'm
petus to development, and stock rails

until the lands were accounted among
the largest in the world devoted to
this industry. Prior to the outbreak
of the revolution in 1910 there were
on the various ranches over 300. 900
head of cattle. $4,000 head of horses
and mules and $50. 900 head of sheep
Three little rivers and a dozen small
streams traverse parts of the property
and over limited area irrigation was
practiced, but agriculture was always
secondary to stock raising which was
the main source of revenue The
crops grown were chiefly consumed

Terrazas made survey of the State

original holders, generally deriving
from early Spanish concessions.

THE day on which two girl friends

merely to do the usual climb UP TO the

appearance OF the inside OF the crater
