LA ZACUALPA RUBBER PLANTA- 

 TION. 



La Zacualpa Rubber Plantation is, without 

 doubt, the foremost of its kind in Mexico, and 

 for depth of soil, requisite rainfall, systematic 

 drainage and intelligent management has not 

 its equal in the world. 



It is situated between the towns of Huistla 

 and Escuintla, about twenty miles from the 

 Pacific Ocean, and on the Pan-American Rail- 

 road, which connects Tapachula with the 

 Tehauntepec Railroad at San Geronimo. This 

 road has already reached Tapachula and will 

 be pushed on through Central America to a 

 connection with the railroads of South America. 



In a report lately made by four gentlemen 

 who visited the property it is stated: "The 

 whole Plantation is a pleasure to behold. ' ' 



The planted trees are easily accessible at all 

 points by avenues running for miles; these 

 have been named and are crossed by streets 

 that are numbered; the visitor can ride for 

 miles through groves of healthy rubber trees, 

 the branches of the older trees arching over- 

 head. 



At the present writing some 10,000 acres are 

 planted, or about ten times the area of 

 Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.
