Show Jones- C 379 19 A Yes sir. Q Vast areas of virgin country there that have received very little attention in the way of development? A Yes sir. Q And which are suitable to great development? A Yes sir. Q From your knowledge of that country you have no doubt that in the future, as the state grows, that that section will be greatly developed? A Yes sir, it will. Q It is a great empire in there, is it not? A Yes sir. Q And its natural resources have only been scratched, haven't they? MR. BLACKMAR: I think that is getting a little far at afield now. SPECIAL MASTER: Well, if he knows. A I don't know anything much about the mineral. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q You are not a miner? A I am not a miner. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q What do you mean by development, Mr. Jones? A Well, good deal of wonderfully good land in there. Q Good for what? A Good for raising grain and crops; one of the best dry land countries in the world, I guess, one of the best. 2346 |
