INTRODUCTORY.

THE Island of Porto Rico, situated very nearlyin the center of the Archipelago of the West

Indies, is 1500 miles from New York. It isabout 100 miles in length by 35 in width and in

form is approximately a rectangle, having an

area of 3670 square miles, or three-fourths the

size of the state of Connecticut which has an

area of 4674 square miles.

The island is traversed from northeast to south-west by a mountain chain and the longer north-ern slope of the water shed is broken by trans-verse ridges. There are about 25 rivers andhundreds of lesser streams. The island affordsmuch in the way of picturesque landscape andinteresting panorama. As natural curiosities,there are several caves; the cascade of St. Olallain Bayemon; the Cacique Falls in Guanica, anda remarkable fountain in Aguadilla.

The principal lakes are: Martin Pena, Pifiones,Tortuguero, and Cano-Tiburones in the north-ern part of the island; Albufera de Joyuda inthe west; Flamencos, Cienga and Guanica in thesouth.

The best harbors are S. Juan on the northand Guanica on the southern shore. Otherports of considerable commerce—Arecibo, Agua-dilla, Mayaguez, Ponce, and Humacao are onlyroadsteads.

The climate, though hot like all tropical coun-tries, is healthful. There are but two seasons:the dry during which the heat causes more orless sickness, and the wet when sometimes occurgreat tempests. The hottest months are fromJune to September, The time of rains is fromAugust to December. Midwinter with its cooleast winds is delightful.

Porto Rico possesses a soil of remarkable fer-tility. Sugar cane, coffee, tobacco, cacao, andcotton are the most valuable agricultural prod-ucts. Corn, rice, beans, sweet potatoes, bananas,melons, oranges, pineapples, &c. all yield abun-dantly. Coffee does best on the high lands andin the shade. For this reason fruit trees arecommonly planted in the coffee fields. Themountains are generally cultivated to their tops.The forests afford valuable lumber. Nearly ahundred years ago the government with wiseforesight formally legislated that, "three treesshould be planted for every one cut down."Medicinal plants, as well as trees and plantswhich furnish dyes and resins abound in all partsof the island. The mountains are full of wildpigeons, magpies, turtle doves, larks, linnets,and nightingales. While along the coast areflamengoeS; pelicans, herons and hawks. Tur-tles and bees abound. There are practically nopoisonous reptiles, but spiders, centipedes, scor-pions, wasps, and fleas make their presence felt.

There are quarries of gypsum and white build-ing stone at Ponce and Juana Diaz; of marble inC^guas and Rio Piedras; of granite in Maunaboand Yabucoa. Iron is found at Loiza; gold atCorozal and Luquillo; copper at Naguabo; zinc,rock crystal, and hard coal in the Serra of Mala-pascua. But the only mineral industry of anyimportance are the salt-works of Cabo Rojo,

Guanica and Coamo. There are hot springs andmineral waters at Coamo and at Quintana inPonce, and the waters of the river Guatemala

and of the river San Lorenzo are thermal.

The principal exports from Porto Rico aresugar, coffee, tobacco, molasses, honey, cacao,

cotton, hides, cattle, mules, unmanufacturedwoods, and salt. The imports being flour, butter,lard, wines, dried and canned fish; fabrics ofsilk, linen, cotton, and wool; crockery and glass-ware; all kinds of machinery; lumber, iron, steel,

coal, &c. The leading article of import from theUnited States has been wheat flour. During thelast five years, the value has averaged, yearly,

about $600,000.

The cities of Utuado, Adjuntas, Yauco, SanGerman, Maricao, and Lares are centers of thebest coffee lands which produce annually about

350,000 bags. From Juncos to Comerio, andfrom Barceloneta to Isabella are the best tobaccosections. San Juan, Mayaguez, and Ponce arethe most important business centers.

Implements of agriculture are, in general, rudeand primitive. Many sugar plantations still usethe old sugar mills. The centrals mentioned inthis book are those equipped with modern ma-chinery.
