Peon miners being searched for stolen ore as they leave the mine. Bricks of gold and silver ready for shipment. Each is worth something like $1250. In a natural amphitheater of Guanajuato the American miners of the region gather on Sundays for a game of baseball. Some of the peons under my charge about to leave the mine. The easiest way to carry a knapsack—on a peon's back. The ore thieves of Peregrina being led away to prison. One of Mexico's countless "armies". Vendors of strawberries at the station of Irapuato. The wall of Guadalajara penitentiary against which prisoners are shot. The liver-shaking stagecoach from Atequisa to Chapala. Lake Chapala from the estate of Ribero Castellanos. The head farmer of the estate under an aged fig-tree. A Mexican village. Making glazed floor tiles on a Mexican estate. Vast seas of Indian corn stretch to pine-clad hills, while around them are guard-shacks at frequent intervals. Interior of a Mexican hut at cooking time. Fall plowing near Patzcuaro. Modern transportation along the ancient highway from Tzintzuntzan, the former Tarascan capital. In the church of ancient Tzintzuntzan is a "Descent from the Cross" ascribed to Titian. Indians waiting outside the door of the priest's house in Tzintzuntzan. A corner of Morelia, capital of Michoacán, and its ancient aqueduct. The spot and hour in which Maximilian was shot, with the chapel since erected by Austria. The market of Tlaxcala, the ancient inhabitants of which aided Cortez in the conquest of Mexico. A rural of the state of Tlaxcala on guard before a barracks. A part of Puebla, looking toward the peak of Orizaba. Popocatepetl and the artificial hill of Cholula on which the Aztecs had a famous temple, overthrown by Cortez. A typical Mexican of the lowlands of Tehuantepec. A typical Mexican boy of the highlands. Looking down on Maltrata as the train begins its descent. A residence of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. On the banks of the Coatzacoalcos, Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Women of Tehuantepec in the market-place. On the hillside above Tehuantepec are dwellings partly dug out of the cliffs. A rear-view of the remarkable head-dress of the women of Tehuantepec, and one of their decorated bowls. A woman of northern Guatemala. A station of the "Pan-American" south of Tehuantepec. An Indian boy of Guatemala on his way home from market. Three "gringoes" on the tramp from the Mexican boundary to the railway of Guatemala.
