The most interesting fact
has been discovered by a Swed

can be found by boring into
granite and other crystalline
rocks to a depth of r 00 to 700
feet A well was sunk in the
island of Akro off the Swedish
tfoasf rfot long ago and at the
depth of 110 feet fresh water
was tapped providing an ap
parently inexhaustible supply

Brownsville Cameron Co Texas
Cameron County is the extreme
southern county of Texas It is
separated from Mexico by tho Rio
Grande on the south and has about
100 miles of gulf coast as its east
ern boundary It was organized in
1848 and contains 3308 square
miles Farming aud stock raising
are the principal industries or the
people the location climate and soil
being admirably adapted for both
The greater portion of the soil is a
rich loam and produces an exceed
ingly heavy yield of both cotton
and corn the chief farm products
Two and sometimes three crops of
corn averaging from fiftv to seven
ty bushels per acre are raised year
ly while cotton will easily ield
from one to two bales per acres
Graces grow all the year and stock
find pasturae without being fed or
sheltered during the winter But
the soil and climate of the Loner
Rio Grande Val ey are by nature
best adapted for the production of
vegetables and fruits Vegetables
af all kinds grow all the year
oround and northern people are as
tonished to find tomatoes lettuce
spinach English peas etc served
fresh from the gardens in midwin
ter This is undoubtedly the par
adise of truck gardeners and so
soon as rail transportation is ob
tained Cameron county vegetables
by the car load will be shipped to
northern market during winter and
early spring and will obtain the
highest prices as there will be no
competition This is due to our
exceedingly mild climate Fre
quently the eutire winter passes
without a single frost and there is
rarely ever any cod veather before
Christmas Fruit culture has not
been attempted in this county on a
large scale but there is oiip large
banana plantation on which this
delicious fruit yields most abund
antly and in the greatest perfection
Grapes are also raised extensivelj
growing in almost every yard They
ripen from tno to four weeks ear
lier than in any other section
Many planters here make all of
their own table wines Orangps
and lemons also grow in profusion
and this eetinn could easily be
made to rival Florida in the pro
duction of oranges Sugar canp is
ulso one of the most important pro
pucts of this valley The Rio
Grande plantation of Mr Geo Bru
livand the Rabb Starck plantation
pronuce graat quantities of cane
which is all manufactured on the
Rio Grande plantation This cane
makes sugar which is produced by
experts to be even superior to the
best Louisiana product Havana
tobacco has also proven a success
here Col J G Tucker havinir
made some most successful experi
ments with it his samnles were
classed by New York buyers as
equal to the best Havana
The county is watered by the Rio
Grande with its ample flow along
the southern boundary and nnm
erou small streams ca led arroya
and resacas
