RESOURCES or MEx,co.--Thc natu-
raj resources of Mexico are vastly SUI
pcrior TO those of any other nation
Herrmines of gold and silver are mex
hnustiblc; and the soil yields valuable
productions in rich profusioa. The
Mint Of Mexico, from the discovery Of
mines to the first of January last, pro-
duced about lS3,l2S,O0o, 0Co!J three
thousand one hundred and twenty-eight
millions of dollars! In Taos, New
Mexico, they have gold mountain,
which they work occasionally. This
mountain was more extensively wcrk-
cd last season than heretofore. The
search for gold has been extended 70
the south side of the mountain with
great success. A person recently ar
rived in the United States from Taos
with $4,000 in gold dust, and some
humps valued at S2T0, found within
thirty miles of Santa Fe. The gold
region lies entirely on the eastern side
of the Rio del Nortc, and it supposed
that If worked with energy, it would
yield millions annually.
