A history of South America, 1854-1904 . ous terms for the settlement of theTacna and Arica question with Peru, and by certainconcessions to Bolivia. On the other hand, if she doesnot adopt some such policy she must become more andmore isolated as time passes, and as the great naturalresources of Argentina develop, Chiles political import-ance in South America will become dwarfed. It is from Bolivia that a great and sudden economicupheaval is likely to come and prove the beginning of anew era of development in South America. The vastmineral wealth of that country cannot fail to attractimmigration from all quarters when once the difficultyof transport is solved, and the solution of the problem iswithin reasonable distance now that the extension of theArgentine railway system to the Bolivian frontier hasbeen arranged. The deposits of gold, silver, tin andcopper in Bolivia offer inducements imequalled in SouthAmerica for profitable mining enterprise, and theirexistence is becoming known gradually to the outsideworld.
