EarnieP,
Fascinating, especially if the Peralta family (their ancestors) were Jewish.
Coincidentally, I have been doing some interesting reading recently concerning the crypto Jews, the Spanish Inquisition, and the motivation for some of the Conquistadors explorations into Nuevo Mexico.
So you are right, it is fascinating.

Mike,
Some things will never change.
"More pictures of strange phenomenon in the Supers are needed here. Not associated with mining or Jesuits.
I found this the other day."
Realllly!
Nice try,

Bill,
The ONLY reason I caught that is because someone posted an article about it on Facebook a day or two ago, and that pic is the one used to advertise the story. HAHAHA I don't usually reverse locate pictures. I have better things to do with my time.

somehiker,
Have a look at this photograph. The cutting was done by hand as opposed to high speed tool.
Hal, Tha's how they made a Sun sign up at Tayopa, only tjere they scooped out a ring about 25 ft wide, mayne 100 ft in diameter..
Cast Iron doesn't cut it chips. Just like when you drill it. It breaks small pieces off as it's to brittle.
I've worked with all types of cast iron Bill, and can assure you that even the purest grey cast iron, along with all the alloyed variants can indeed be saw cut,drilled, tapped, milled and machined with only changes in cutter types, feed speeds and coolants. Ever had a cast iron engine block bored and honed for example, or a crank turned and polished ? How about head work, like modded for threaded rocker studs ? I've done all of that as well as building hydraulic presses and heavy equipment from various components cast from several cast iron alloys, including ductile and nodular, so I know something about it.
First off were talking dry drilling, cutting ect. I don't think any lubes were used for Jesuit shrine casts unless it was tallow or animal fat. Second when you dry drill cast iron depending on the amounts of contamination in the iron it will chip easy. In the early years of forklifts we had to convert them for LPG which included drilling the counter weights made from cast iron some of the worst kind.
I was told that using oil (Coolants) only causes the swarf to accumulate, while drilling dry allows the swarf to blow away.
It still drilled but the cuttings were ragged and if you looked at them they were small chips. Same with the taps we used. The threads would be ragged as some of them would just simply chip off. Cast Iron is very, very brittle. We always found it to be a pain drilling those counterweights. Of course we're talking cast iron with a lot of sand and other crap cast in it like the casting would be from the early parts of the 17th century for a Jesus shrine artifact. The sand cast method is what comes to mind.
