Excerpt from Desert Trails of Atacama It has become the fashion to say that major exploration is at an end because the North Pole and the South Pole have been attained and the general design Of the mountains, deserts, and drainage systems Of the earth has become known. Yet in truth the map is still crowded with scientific mysteries though its great historic mysteries have been swept away. The Mountains Of the Moon, the sources Of the Nile and the Congo, the secrets of the inner Sahara, the heart of Tibet, these are among the great mysteries that long awaited the explorer and that have been dispelled one by one.

Excerpt from California Desert Trails I acknowledge a sense of mystical reverence when first I approach some illustrious feature of the globe, some coast line of ocean, some mighty river or dreary mountain-range, the ancient barrier of kingdoms.

Excerpt from Nitrate and Guano Deposits in the Desert of Atacama: An Account of the Measures Taken by the Government of Chile to Facilitate the Development Thereof For some years past the rich deposits of Nitrate of Soda, and Guano, as also the Mines of Silver and Copper which exist in the northern extremity of the Chilian territory in the desert of Atacama, have excited much interest. Some bold explorers have undertaken and accomplished journeys of investigation, and sanguine capitalists have established enterprises for their development. But all attempts made by private individuals have met with considerable obstacles. The land is barren; supplies of potable water are frequently unattainable; it is cut oft from the sea by the coast-range of the Cordillera, and the existing means of communication are both sparse and costly.
