Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mexican West Coast and Lower California: A Commercial and Industrial Survey Sir: There is submitted herewith a commercial and industrial survey of the Mexican "West Coast" and the peninsula of Lower California, by Trade Commissioner P. L. Bell, Assistant Trade Commissioner H. Bentley MacKenzie, and American Consuls Francis J. Dyer, Bartley F. Yost, and W. E. Chapman. The monograph is similar in plan and scope to Mr. Bell´s previously published handbooks of Colombia and Venezuela - Special Agents Series Nos. 206 and 212. Extraordinary difficulties were encountered in the collection of proper material and in the writing of the report, because of unsettled conditions in Mexico. Only the investigators´ personal knowledge of the coast territory enabled them to prepare as thorough a discussion of the region as is here presented. Trade Commissioner Bell´s long residence on the West Coast of Mexico has made it possible for him to select material judiciously, to collect and elaborate on the mass of miscellaneous data obtained from all sources, and to bring out the features that are fundamentally important. Special acknowledgment is made of the services of the American consulates, which for the past 10 or 11 years have been the only agencies active in the collection of authentic economic and commercial information on the West Coast. Without their aid and cooperation and the use of the data gathered by them the present work would of necessity have been relatively meager. Mr. Bell desires to give particular credit also to the work of the commodity divisions of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in collecting reports on various articles that are commercially important on the Mexican West Coast and of interest to American exporters. He calls attention to the fact that every important line has been covered by questionnaires sent to the consuls by the various commodity divisions, and that there is available, in addition, a wide range of special reports and correspondence. For 60 years the people of the Pacific coast of the United States have been keenly interested in the development of mining throughout the West Coast region of Mexico; and, since the construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad of Mexico down the coast from Guaymas, there has been a heavy investment in the agricultural development of the potentially rich river valleys.
