This article appears in Volume V26, Page 636 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEPIC , a territory of
Mexico
  facing on the Pacific Ocean and bounded N., E. and S. by Sinaloa, Durango and Jalisco. Area 11,275 sq. m. Pop. (1900) 150,098. The active volcano of Ceboruco rises in the western part of the territory. The slopes and valleys are densely wooded, the lower regions being very fertile and adapted to tropical agriculture. The rainfall is abundant, and the climate hot,
damp
  and malarial. The Rio Grande de Lerma, or Santiago, is the principal river, whose sources are to be found on the high
plateau
  in the state of
Mexico
 . The next largest river is the Mezquital, which has its sources in the state of Durango, not far from the city of that name. The products of the territorial
coast
  lands are sugar,
cotton
 , tobacco, maize, palm oil, coffee, fine woods and medicinal plants. Mining attracts much attention in the sierras, and its
mineral
  deposits are rich. There are
cotton
  and cigarette factories at the town of Tepic, besides sugar works and distilleries on the plantations. The
capital
  of the territory is Tepic (pop. 1900, 15,488), attractively situated on a small
plateau
  2950 ft. above sea level, 26 m. E. by S. of its port, San Bias, with which it is connected by rail.
The territory of Tepic was detached from the State of, Jalisco in 1880 on account of the belligerent attitude of its population, chiefly composed of Indians. A territorial form of government places it more directly under the
control
  of the national executive.
