respondence of The Associated Press)
The ending of the World war has
given a new impetus to the work of
opening up the great reservoirs of
natural wealth, from gold to fruits
and valuable woods, which He in the
valley of the Amazon. Several expe
ditions of exploration are being, or
ganized here, one of the most import
ant of which Is under the direction
of Henry S. Fleming of New York,
United States Customs Receiver at
Para, who will shortly start on a
three months trip devoted to exlpor
ing the commercial possibilities of the
vast region watered by the Amazon'
us maze or tributaries.
The advance guard of another im
portant expedition of scientists, head
ed by Dr. Hamilton Rice of Boston
and his wife, has passed through here
on its way to Manaos which will be
headquarters of the venture. A spe.

General Rondon. the well-known
Brazilian explorer who accompanied
Colonel Roosevelt on his famous trip
down . the River of Doubt, now
named the Rio Teodoro by the Bra
zilian government In honor of the for
mer American president, has return
ed here after spendiirg almost two
years in surveying the. wilds of the
state of Matto G rosso on the borders
of Bolivia: The territory explored by
him, lies to the southwest of the
Parecis Range, northeast of which
lies the Rio Teodoro. General Ron
don reported the discovery of three
new mountains and several new riv

gion comprises an area of 2.000,000
square miles, almost five.sixths the
extent of all Europe, and its climatic
conditions are almost identical to
those of Southern Europe.
The only Industry which has beeff
developed to any extent ip to the
present has been the production of
rubber and this is now in an unsatis
factory condition owing to the com
petition of the Orient which has re
duced the price of the product below
a profitable margin. In consequence
attention is being paid to the other
resources of the valley which include
gold, platinum, oil, titanium, vana
dium, aluminum, tin, rare cabinet
woods.' nuts and apparently inex
haustible supplies of cacao, fibres
and kapok.
