northern coast Of the peninsula, and an old abandoned one at sisal a few miles farther west, sisal, how ever, Is the better harbor of the two, for Progreso Is no more than an open roadstead, without shelter. Merida, the capital, a thriving city of S0.0Oo, Is on the site of the an- cient Maya metropolis of Tihoo,
 "Yueatan Is of especial interest to archeologists on account of the re- niarkable ruins of Maya civilization found there and throughout tho peninsula. In the culture scale these Indians stood at the head of the American tribes. The remains of their prehistoric temples and cities are of utmost interest and beauty.
 Better favored with natural re- sources, Campeche Is handicapped by lack of labor and adequate means of communication. Great tracts of virgin forests and unuti- liaed wealth and Advantages await the stimulus of foreign capital and initiative. The seat of government. of the same name as the state, is connected by railway with Merida, the Yucatan capital, and some of the plantations have light railways. Aside from these, however, the only means of transportation are afford ed by the second-rate roads Ana the small rivers during the rainy sea son.
 Logwood Valuable Export
 "One of the principal products of the province Is logwood, a heavy red timber which contains crystal line yellow substance called haenla- toxyline - used extensively In dye ing and In coloring wines. The an- nual export of this product alone in 1923 was valued at more than a million pesos. Campeche stands sec ond only to Yucatan In the produc- tion of henequen. or sisal hemp, as well as the usual tropical products such as sugar cane, rice, tobacco, indigo, cotton, etc. Many of the raa lives make q good livelihood manu- featuring the so-caned Panama hats. hammocks, and tottoise-shell articles.
 "Campeche. the capital. Is quaint, old city of 15,000 inhabi- tants. Founded in 1540 by Francis co Montejo, it Is, therefore, one of the oldest cities In America. Dur ins the adventuresome buecaneer days of the Spanish Main 1t was sacked repeatedly by pirates until it's bastioned and fortified walls, segments of which are still stand ing, were hastily erected.
 Campeche Built Over Catacombs
 The town is built over a system of immense subterranean caverns, excavated by the early Mayas ana used by them as catacombs. The moist sea air imparts venerable look to the port buildings, all of which seem hoary with age.
 Both states are paradises for tho hunter or naturalist and abound with game, fish and sotgeously cols cred birds and flowers. Tn the for ests partners and boa constructors Turk, while in the more open coun- try there are wild boars, deer, the tapir, and bright plunged birds. Shark fishing is one of the exciting sports along the coasts, where an endless and holy war is waged against them"

RICH PENINSULA
 MEXICAN STATES
Campeche and Yucatan Home Of
 Important Products

Washington, D. C, July [. - Clashes between Indian tribes along the border between the MeM- can states of Campeche and Yuca- tan recently threw Into the spot light of the days news two of the potentially richest of the common wealths comprising the Mexican re- public" says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C.. headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 "Campeche and Yucatan together with the Territory of Quintana Roo embrace the entire peninsula of Yucatan, except a small portion of the east coast within the boundaries of British Honduras and section of the heavily wooded interior where an arm of Guatemala runs up from the south. From the two peninsula states comes most of the worlds production of sisal hemp which is next to Manila hemp In durability and strength. The region also fur nishes valuable timber, agricultural products and livestock.
 Home of sisal Hemp
 Although the greater part of the area of the peninsula Is one vast l plain, at 3 small elevation, the two states are strikinsly different in many respects, Campeche has fairly ! a ahpndent rainfall danca foreetc and number of minerals throughout it's 18,000 square miles. Yucatan, on the other hand. presents a dreary aspect, unwatered by rivers or streams, with little agriculture and no minerals. Yet this arid region affords the chief source of wealth, | heneuuen or sisal hemp. Iucatan, with Quintana Roo is about twice as large as its neighboring state, yet, with 31500o people. it has al- most four times as large populaA tion.
 "Despite the sparseness of its rainfall, Yucatan is not totally arid. Water can be found in any section of the state not far beneath the surface. Although there are no rivers Of importance the limestone formations underground are honey combed with water caves - termed locally 'cenotes' and subterran- can streams. The Indians knew of these caves and rivers ages ago and marked their courses on the sur face with heaps of stones, never building their cities except along the flow of an underground stream. Every pueblo and ranch has Its well and a constant supply of fresh cold water for drinking and irriga- tion purposes.
 The fertility Of the soil increases in the northeast and southern DOT tions Of the state, where there are thick dye and cabinet-wood forests. This is also the home of the beau tiful Yucatan turkey and the vener- ated ouetzal, the Mexican bird of paradise, sacred to some of the h. dian tribes
