'.uiiitum lieo a practically un known rritury having an area of 25, ( -uare miles, forms the subject of an .nur-.t;ng report by United S at' O iis-u HMiiam W. Canada.

There ate no mountains and the highest hillocks do not exceed 50 feet. It would appear that the entire country Ih but the roof of an immense cave. At Payo Obicpo a nole may be duir through the soft pliable rock anl water will be found. In these holes, eyeless fish are caught. White people occupy a narrow .strip along the coast. Several companies are engaged in getting out dye wood, cedar and mahogany. Chiclo, which forms the basis of cer tain brands of chewing gum, is one of the principal products of export. The sea fairjy swarms with fish. An American firm holds a concession triving it the sole right to the fisheries along this coast. Another company has a monmoly of the turtle supply Evidence of the existence of coal, pe troleum and asphalt exist, though nn prospecting has been done. There is evidence that copper has been mined in large quantities. The water of the l:lue river is actually blue with the amount of sulphate of copper It con tains. In the dry season It carries as high as 6 per cent of copper in so lution and crystals of the sulphate aro deposited on the margin of the stream. The war-Ike disposition of ilaya fml::jns had a demonstration in 1 S 50 when th'-y surprised the town of lia tainr and annihilated me enure pop ulation. Over 6000 persons were butchered In one of the churches where they had taken refuge. ( The ancient ruins of cities through out the present known territory are positive indications of the existence I . f a iarge and prosperous population ; before or since, the time of the Span ish conquest of which there are no other traces left. Ismul, one of these abandoned cities, has in Its immedl- i :t- vie n ty the ruins of prehistoric structures, some of them of enor-: inous s ze and beautifully sculptored. j ancient ton must have housed at' Judging from present Indications, the! least 60,000 people. There Is not even 1 a trace to be found of a civilized be ng anywhere within 100 miles from there. Xo donbt can exist that this region was very thickly populated at some time, that Its inhabitants were high ly civilized, as s proven by their ar chitecture, and that the country must have produced something not known at the present time. The destruc tion and abandonment visible at every hand was doubtless due to the inter necino wars among the natives them selves. A noteworthy instance of the intelligence and civilization of the people at some time remote is clearly demonstrated by an artificial water way constructed by . them. Present harbor conditions are not favorable to the intending settler in this region. The native Is not to be counted on, and all labor must be brought from other yars. The Maya Indian will not work. He may pos sibly plant a small patch of corn and this, with his fishing, will keep him content. Should he develop a taste for meat, he finds game In the woods. (MIS HAY CITIES TO WOKIv I'OU CAKUXE Marsh field, dr., Pec. 21 -The granting of street railway franchises in the Coos Hay cities Is a matter which is now attracting much a'ten tion on the part of the people and some decisive steps are being taken. Over a year ago a franchise was granted to J. M. filake for building anr maintaining an electric railway In .T-'nfield. Work was to be started . t a ci r'aln time and six months ago .'r. Blake Appeared before the coun il and asked that he be given more toiie. He was under the new r r.Titrement, to have a mile of road built by the first of January and re cently he again asked for an exten sion of six months in which to begin work and It was granted by the coun cil. At the recent city election In North Bend Mr. Iilake asked for a fran chise and It was voted upon by the people. The franchise was turned down the franchise has been refased Mr. Hlake In North P.end there has been a movement started to have the Marshfield people vote on the matter of recalling the extension in this city. If this were done, the franchise In both Marshfield and North Rend would be left open for any good road that wanted to build. Mayor L.. J. Simpson of North Uend has suggest ed that both cities grant like fran chises for a railway and put these franchises in the hands of trustees who are to turn them over to the first railroad that will build to Coos Hay. It Is suggested that this would leave the franchises open and ready for any road that wants to come here. This plan is being agitated and it Is likely some such step will be taken.
