Alum-lent evidences of progress in
Peru are found in a. statement issued
by the London consulate general or
that country. upon the recent anni-
versary of its declaratoin of inde-
pmidrnco. Abstracts from the state-
ment follow:
“in Lima itself the evidence of
confidence in the country's steady
advance is seen in the crectlon of
important public buildings. while va-
rious other schemes or construction
an: passing through the initial stage
of discussion. Moreover. Lima. is
growing rapidly. and the city of the
future will be magnificently adorned
by a system. now taking shape. of
noble boulevards. Avenidas Legula.
Magdalena. Progrcso. Miramar and
lijercito. comprising some forty
miles of way are a. sumcient hint of
this. If we add the fine motor roads
which are slowly but surely creeping
out from the capital. we shall be
able to term somc’ldea of the Limit
of the future.
"This boulevard Lima and the
— motor roads are closely linked with
Lima's social life and the approach—
ing completion of the Grand Hotel
Bolivar is another sign of the times.
It is of reinforced concrete. and ex-
tonsiveiy adorned inside and out
with the new Peruvian black and
gold marble.
"W'e hear of petroleum conces-
sions. granted to Messrs. Thorndike
of Lima .0! 4.000 pertenencias (16.-
000 hectares) at Callao. and of 2.000
pcrtcnencias (8,000 hectares) at An—
con Bay. while the coming report of
the Lobitos Oil company will fore-
shadow a still more prosperous con-
dition of things than that of 1922.
when a. dividend 0t 50 per cent. was
declared. The mere suggestion of
an embargo upon shipments of oil
from the United States has resulted
already in a more strenuous develop.
ment of the oil field owned in Peru
pany of Canada. whose yield. it is
expected. will shortly reach 25.000
barrels a day. This embargo move-
ment points inevitably to a. still
greater exploitation of Peru's im-
mense oil resources. which are
known to extend beneath the whole
of her territories. ‘
"In the metal world, progress is in
dicated diy the operations of the
Northern Peru Mining 8: Smelling
Company; which has icqulred the
famous "La Guardin" silver-gold
mine of Boza. Alzcorbe firms. The
company's activities during‘the last

important enterprise. Another mark
of progress is to be’ found in the ac-
tion 01 the Vanadium Corporation

The example of the Vanadium Cor~
poration will be followed by Messrs.
Charles Gulslain. F. J. Schafer.
Alejandro Puente and .«Roger and
Guislain. whose concession for the
building or the Sullana-Morropon
broad-guage line. connecting with
the paita-Plura railway. promises
another important step in the provi-
sion 'of means of communication.
“Development or other means of
communication is seen- in the .500.
.000 words per month transmitted
and received by radio, and in the
inauguration of the new Marconi
Wireless Station at eranaves. near
Callao. Civil aviation is also develop-

"The'newly completed Pampas
Imperial scheme in the Canete Val-
ley is now to be rollowed by the still
greater Olmos irrigation scheme. the
greates since the days of those mas-
ters in irrigation—the Incas. This
subject involves the erection of a
dam at Carhuaqucra on the Chancay
river. seventy-five kilometers from
the port of leentol, and is design-
ed to provide a. reservoir of forty
million cubic meters of water for ir-
rigating the rice and sugar lands.
comprising 125,000 acres. lying east
of Chielayo and Lambayeque. Use
will be made of the machinery and
equipment from the Pampas Imper-
ial scheme. which now irrigates
000 acres of new land.
“These few instances of progress
show that the national wealth of
Peru is rapidly increasing. But it
will probably be noted that the varla
ous enterprises already initiated and
.succedlng are base upon the coun-
try": yagnitude, which compels cap-
ital to build accordingl. The case of
the Huallaga Company is one such
case. This company. an offshoot of
the eGncral Syndicate. Inc.. of New
York, and supported by a syndicate
of bankers. is studying the best
scheme of colonizing 80.000 sduaro
miles of land in the department of
Loreto in northern Peru. and lying
east of the Andes. The company will
establish direct steamer communion-
tion between Iquitos and the United
States by way of the Amazon‘s 2,000
miles or waterway. and will also
build a. railway, 600 miles long. from
the river port of Jurirnaguar. in the
zone to be colonized. across the
Andes to Peru's “Pacific port of
