RUBLE

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 845 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
RUBLE , a province of central Chile, bounded N. by
Linares
 , E. by the Argentine Republic, S. by Concepcion and W. by Concepcion and Maule. Area, 3407 sq. m.; pop. (1895) 152,935. The province lies partly in the
great
  central valley of Chile, noted for its fine climate and fertility, and partly on the western slopes of the Andes. The Itata river, which forms the southern boundary, and its
principal
  tributary, the Nubee, form the drainage
system
  of the province. Agriculture and grazing are the
principal
 
industries
 . Wheat is largely produced, and there are vineyards in some localities. Stock-raising is pursued chiefly in the
east
 , where the pastures are
rich
  and the water
supply
  unfailing. The state railway from Santiago to the southern provinces passes through Nuble, from N.N.E. to S.S.W., and sends off a branch from Bulnes W. to Jan Tome on the Bay of Concepcion. The
capital
  is Chillan, and the only other important town is Bulnes, a railway junction and active commercial centre. The hot baths of Chillan, in the eastern part of the province on the slope of the
volcano
  of that name, about 7000 ft. above sea level, are very popular in Chile.
