NAVAL STORES IN MEXICO.

way suited to turpcutiu.ug. briefly in-
dictates the extent OF the only partial
D. developed naval stores resources Of
Mexico.
A peculiar and interesting feature
of the Mexican turpcntiuc belt is that
the turpcutine producing trees are
found only In the mountains az high
attitudes. a condition directly reverse
to that existing in the United States.
where trees at an altitude Of 5000
feet are unproductive SO far as tur-
pcntinc Is concerned
Carey b. Townsend OF New Orleans.
who has spent some time inyestigat.
ing naval stores conditions in Mexico.
has given an interesting account OF
his observations. Speaking Of IN,
characteristics OF the Mexican tree.
he says:
The Mexican turpcntine pines pre-
sent a different appearance from our
trees in the United States. The bark
is thicker. nature providing this as a
protection against the cool nights OF
the high attitudes. The needles, too.
are shorter and coarser than those of
our Southern pines. The appearance
Of the Mexican pines differ materially
in the altitude I'm which they are
found. the trees at 5000 to 5000 feet
presenting a sharp contrast to those at
5000 or 5000 feet. A close investiga-
ton with proper tests convinced me
that there is no difference in the
yield or quality of the gum. In Mich
oacan, where / spent most Of my time.
the altitude of the camp is 5000 feet. |
The days are warm. but the nights |
invariably cool. kept a thermometer |
record. and the lowest the mercury
went was 80 degrees and the highest |
IS degrees.
"Turpentine runs freely in Mexico |
when the temperature is 90 degrees |
or above. While there is little or no |
flow at night. the first rays OF the
sun striking the trees start /
the gum running freely, and this only
lets up when darkness comes. I have
never seen better running pines in
my entire observation, which has ex-
tended from Cape Fear 20 the Sabine
river. Owing to the cool nights il is
proper TO estimate the yield of the
Mexican pines at 25 per cent less
than the best output Of our Southern
pines.
The atmosphere evidently affects
The quality OF the crude gum. as
noticed that the rosin produced from
he old and high faces was OF an un-
usually good quality, grading from
L TO M instead OF from d 10 c. as
IN the United States. AS to the rela-
i've yield of turpentine from a given
quantity Of crude. il is about the
same in Mexico as In the United
States"
In Mexico pack mules instead OF
wagons are used for transporting
both the crude and the finished product
Mexico enacts a high tarif on naval
stores imported into that country. On
-urpentine the duty is Is cents per
gallon in gold and on rosin 1915 per
barrel OF ESQ pounds. This tariff rep
-esents the difference in price between
naval stores in Mexico and In the
United States. There were in 1905
only eight stills In Mexico. and the
average capacity OF each was small.
The industry Is little developed and
as a consequence the local production
Is not sufficient to supply the demand.
This makes importation Of both tur-
Dentine aud rOsin necessary.
