CAPITALIST ARRIVES HOME Frank Sweeney, Member of Party 'That Went South, Likes (he Mexican Country. NEGOTIATING FOR A RANCH Rest .f Party Will Probably B. Away For Three Week. Longer Oath Infl Data Mr. Warren Horn. Tomorrow. Frank Sweeney, a member of the party thut Iff t here less than a month ago for Mexico for the purpose of In specting salable property, has returned, an! Is now at his home at Warren ln. Mi-ssrs. Pain, Smith and Kinney ore still In Mexico, and will remain. nroba'jly (or two week longer, Mr. Smith, in particular. Is deeply Inter ested In the history of the country, and is studying the political aspect of t ie local cot dltlons there.- He Is gath ering data at every turn, and hut now enough Information at hand to compile a good nixed library on Cortes and his contemporaries. Mr, Warren crossed the line into th. state, one day later than Mr. Sweeney, and stopped over at Los Angeles to visit a few day. with friends. He la expected home to morrow, Mr. Sweeney s interests on the west slle demanded his attention, mid for thut reason he hurried on ahead of his companion. He reached home Sunday, greatly Invigorated by the trip. and highly satisfied with the prospects of future Investments. The chih'cIiiI object of the party going south was for the purpose of negotiat ing for the purchase of a SO.000 acre ranch situated In the state of Murelos, 123 miles south of Mexico City. The deal whs not carried through for the reason thut the land, while valuable properly, did not como up to the full requirements demanded of gruxlng land for cattle. There -were many improve ments on the place; a marble quarry Is being operated: sugar cane grows in abundance, while it Is estimated that the wood that could be gotten out. would equal the purchase price. Nev ertheless the land was mountainous In places and rocky in others, so that it did not appear cleur to the investors that It would be good judgment to ef fect the transfer. , Mr. Sweeney, together with W. E. Fowler and N. A. Marshall of Seattle, have another deal pending, however, thnt Is of considerable more magnitude than the first one proposed. This is no less than the purchnse of S0O.000 acres of fine grazing land in the state of Jalisco, together with the stock, consisting of 12,000 head of cattle. Mr. Fowler is now on the field and will report the findings Inter to his associ ates. The land is rolling, and is adap ted In every way to the raising of cat tle. The range can support 50,000 head. The price asked for this Immense prop erty !s the apparently absurdly low figure of 50 cent, an acre, cattle In- luded. When It 1. taken Into con sideration that the market for cattle Is as good there as here, the Importance of the deal being consummated becomes ut once apparent. Another Important feature about the land Is the fact that ortejlan water Is easily obtainable at any portion of It. The "ranch" is at present owned by an old Mexican, who Is fabulously wealthy and who wishes to spend the remaining year, of his Ufa in retlremert. Mr. Sweeney wus favorably impress ed with the general conditions thut prevail in Mexico- . The beauty of the scenery was everywhere evident, while the structural work were equally fas cinating. He and hi friends spent several days In Mexico City, making their headquarters at the Hotel porter a fine American establishment Tht Astorians were struck by the flue muni clpal government, of the magnificent capital, and never tired of visiting the crumbling ruin, of the ancients, and' the substantial and Imposing struct ures of the modems. The city Is sys tematically policed.' a pedestrian at night being much safer there than if he was abroad. In muny of the towns of the northwest.9 What took the breath away from Mr. Sweeney 'and his friends more than anything, perhaps, was the stock ranch of the governor of Chihuahua one of the northern states. A hun dred miles of railroad ran through this country shrdlunt-tnmelghtfflg-J.h this property, which Is stocked with 1,000.000 head of rattle. The proprie tor was formerly a general and ac quired his right to title of this land by a neat system of grafting after some incluietit rebellion. His wealth Is estimated to be $240,000,000. Throughout the trip the members of the party enjoyed the best of health. and no Incident occurred to mar their pleasure.
