(Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D, C., May 21.—Lower California, Mexico's isolated peninsula, the coast of which the Pacific Fleet of the United States is now patrolling, is one of the least known territories in North America. The following factas concerning this arm of land, which projects about 800 miles southeaster= ly from the southern border of Cali- fornia, were given out by the National Geographic Society at Washington, D, C., today: The width of the peninsula varies from about 30 to more than 100 miles, ang its irregular coast-line, over 2,000 miles long, is bordered by numerous islands. Being mainly a mountainous, desert region, it is thinly peopled and DPresents many sharply contrasting conditions. lLow sun-scorched plains, Wwhere death Dy thirst awaits the traveler, lie close to the bases of towering granite peaks, belted by for- ests and capped in winter by smow; desolate plateaus of black lava look down on valleys seamed with green- bordered streams. At the time of its discovery in 1538 by an expedition sent out by Cortes in search of a fabulously rich island, it is estimated to have been inhab- ited by 25,000 Indians, who vigorously Tesented the intrusion and prevented ths newcomers from getting a foot- bold for more than a century. The Jesuites then came in and were won- derfully successful in exploring the Peninsula and estabiishing missions They established three main trails, one along each coast and the third down the middle, which serve as the Tegular routes of travel today. The Indians have vanished from all parts of their former territory, gxcept a few in the extreme northern d. During the last half jentury all parts of the territory have been visit- ed, mainly by Americans, in search of mines and other natural resources, but little of the knowledge galned has become available to the public. Gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals and much fertile land bave been found but the scarcity of water, fuel, forage, and the difficulties of transportation have united with other causes to bring about failure to develop the re- sources. The climate of Lower California in general is hot and arid. Northern conditions are closely like those in | adjoining parts of southern Cali- | fornia; in the middle they are more | arid, but the extreme southern end, though arid tropical, has more regu- | lar summer raims. The peninsula suffers long periods of drought, dur- | ing which no rainfall sufficient 1o start vegetation occurs over large areas for periods of from three to | five years. These dry periods may be sSucceeded by torrential rains, which Sweep the country and roll great floods down te the sea. Surface water is scarce and limited mainly to iso- lated water-holes in the rocks or to springs from which small streams flow a short discance. The Rio Do- mingo is the one living streem within the peninsula which fiows on the usr- face from its source to the sea throughout the year. These condi- tions have resulted in the develop~ ment of the richest and most extra- ordinary desert florm in the world The dird and mammal life, however, is clesely related to that of southern California. The ‘plains abound with small desert ma such as rab- bits, pecket mice, rats and others, A large number of the small- er desert mammals never drink water, it havingbeen found impossidle to teach some of them to take water in captivity. Antelope, mountain sheep, mule-deer and mountain lions are the on¥ large game animals. 'he peninsula is thinly peopled and ENOrmGus areas remain uninhabited. | The most populous section is the re- | gion south of La Paz, where rains are | more regular than further north. A few small towns and widely scattered the coast, with a | limited number of villages, ranches | and miners’ camps in_ the cover the population. Lower Califor- | nia has a territorial form of, govern- | ment, and, owing to its greaf length, | is divided near the middle into a | northern and sourthern district, He Should Worry.
