Excerpt from Mexican Resources: A Guide to and Through Mexico

The material herein contained was originally intended to be appended to the author's "Travels in Mexico," as it in a measure completes and rounds out the larger volume; but the limitations of space and the relentless veto of publishers prevented. There is no repetition. The aim of the work is to present an exact statement of Mexico's natural resources, drawn from reliable statistical works, - such as the Estadistica de la Republica Mexicana, - collated, and mainly translated, by the author. The facts are given without exaggeration, at the same time without depreciation; and the reader may draw his own deductions as to Mexico's future from this accurate presentation of her past.

The soil, climate, and productions are shown, of every section, with distinctive features; the great coffee, sugar, and cotton districts, with a full list of all the precious dye and cabinet woods, delicious fruits, and medicinal plants, which make tropical Mexico so valuable a neighbor to the United States.

Under "Mines and Mining" are given the locations of the great deposits of precious metals; abstracts from the mining laws of Mexico, for the guidance of those desiring to locate mines; and full information on the exact localities of the gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, quicksilver, and coal deposits, and the valuable Mexican minerals.

An extensive Guide is added, showing every point of importance on every railroad running into and through Mexico, with time and distance tables, and a list of attractions to tourists. There being no longer any Great West to which trade and travel may flow, it is believed that the country of the future lies in the South, - in Mexico, Central and South America.

This book, then, is offered as an indication of what may be found there, and as a guide by the way.

It is not perfect; it is not exhaustive; and it doubtless contains errors which it will be the aim of the author to correct in subsequent editions.

In this first edition, ten thousand copies are issued, at a price nearly nominal so that It shall have an immediate and wide circulation.
