SummaryResumen
A letter from Azua dated February 25, 1871, describes excursions by the visiting overland party to mineral springs about eighteen miles away, including a hot sulphur spring, and to a petroleum district a few miles from Azua. At the oil wells they found a derrick and dilapidated machinery, two bored wells and visible oil, and were told former American Consul Arthur Folsom had invested about $10,000 there and secured a hundred barrels of good lubricating oil.

For a short distance we followed a main road, which
