MOKPO

ground, has now nearly all been bought up, and the mud flats are rapidly being converted into a town, with well laid out streets, occupied by about 1,200 Japanese and a number of substantial Chinese residents. A seawall and bundroad, over a mile in length, are in course of construction and will soon be completed. The climate of Mokpo is healthy and salubrious; the scenery much resembles that of South Japan and is picturesque in the extreme. Shooting may be had in perfection, and pheasants, geese, ducks, deer, wild boar and leopards abound. Even tigers will be met with plentifully by those who care to hunt for them. Instances are not at all rare in which pigs, dogs and even men are carried off by these beasts of prey. Many of the natives are experts in training eagles to hunt smaller birds, like pheasants, &c.
According to the report of the British Consul for the year 1902, Mokpo is still suffering from the over-sanguine anticipations which were entertained at the time of its opening, but is growing. The Exports in 1902 amounted to £74,580 and imports to £21,515
