the railroads.
Mexico produces one third of the

OF It's gold, one ninth of its lead. and
one twentieth Of its copper. The coun-
trys mineral production, exclusive Of

mountain at Durango is estimated TO
contain 600.0O0,OOO tons of iron ore.
which is worth seven times the value
of all the gild and silver mined in Mex

graphite mines are the largest and
most important in the Western World.
The region around the Gulf of Mexico
is very rich in petroleum. One company
at Poteri del Llano struck a gusher
which flowed 100000 barrels of oil a
day.
"The drawn-work of the Mexican In
dian is Justly famed throughout the
world, and deserves to rank with the

Indians make all sorts of small objects

The little dolls Of Cuernavaca, half
inch tall and dressed in finely embroid-

everyone who sees them. The small

charging bull and the bucking mule,

people are hopelessly ignorant. With
a hospital founded before jamestown

greater than those of a thousand Mi

the proverbial church mouse. With
constitution as perfect as any or
ganic law in the civilized world, it
is a nation whose rulers always have
been a law unto themselves.

pair of trousers, a fifty cent shirt, and
ten-dollar sombrero. ehere, at

of a single city block, you may see
