They are worth nil to a new country. They

business being established. If it were not 
fi r such men this country would now be a 
sheep pa-sturo and it might as well be coded 
bad, in Mexico, for no enterprising Ameri- 
uld live in it. I said at the com¬ 
mencement of tliis article that this particu¬ 
lar locality would, in a short time, become
