Letter from Alexander Findlay Macdonald, 22 September 1891
Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mex Pres. Wilford Woodruff, and Counsellers, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethern Elder John C. Naglae, his son Hyrum, Geo Patton, W. J. Stevens, and Wm. P. Nelsen, recently returned from a trip south, exploring the lands of Canton Mina. Bro. J. H. Carlton, who went with them returned sooner as he was kicked by a mule and could not go on, they travelled south about 430 miles and were absent from July 24th to to Sept 8th. The exploration in Mina, proved that there was not sufficient land suitable for agriculture, the rivers running in deep cañons, and the country being very much broken, some good ranches for cattle, but as a whole not suitable for colonising, but rich as a mineral district. On their return they found a beautiful lake on the mountain, with over a thousand acres of good meadow land adjoining it, and if a Ranche on the San Juan river, east 25 miles and owned by a Mexican could be bought in connection with this mountain tract, would make a desirable location. We have reported the result of the exploration to Consul Maillefort and last week while at La Ausencion, confering with a custom House inspector sent by the Government, he suggested, that we write to the General in command in the Yacqui Country, Sonora, and try to get good public lands there. We have concluded this would be the best we could do for the present so securing
