AGUASCALIENTES , an inland state of
Mexico
 , bounded N., E. and W. by the state of Zacatecas, and S. by Jalisco. Pop. (est. 1900) 102,416, a
gradual
  decrease since the census years of 1895 and 1879; area, 2970 sq. m. The state occupies an elevated
plateau
 , extending from two spurs of the Sierra Madre, called the Sierra Fria and Sierra de Laurel, eastward to the
rolling
  fertile plains of its eastern and
south
 -eastern districts. It is well watered by numerous small streams and one larger river, the Aguascalientes or Rio Grande, and has a mild healthy climate with a moderate rainfall. The fertile valleys of the north and west are devoted to agriculture and the plains to stock-raising. Indian corn, flour, cattle, horses, mules and hides are exported to the neighbouring states. Mining
industries
  are still undeveloped, but considerable progress has been made in manufactures, especially of textile fabrics. The state has good railway communications and a prosperous trade. The
capital
 , Aguascalientes, named from the medicinal hot springs near it, is a flourishing commercial and 'manufacturing city. Pop. (est. Igoo) 35,052. It has
cotton
  factories, smelting works, potteries, tanneries, distilleries, and wagon and tobacco factories. It is a station on the Mexican Central railway, 364 M. by rail north-west of the city of
Mexico
 , and is connected by rail with Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico. The city is well built, has many fine churches and good public buildings, street cars and electric lights. The surrounding district is well cultivated and produces an abundance of fruit and vegetables. Other prominent towns of the state are Rinc6n de Romos (or Victoria de Calpulalpam), Asientos de Ibarra and Calvillo, the first having more and the others less than 5000 inhabitants.
