Opinions? Thank you in advance,

I would add this from the same source, QUOTE

The veins have been opened in many parts by the Spaniards who content themselves almost invariably with sinking shafts for the extraction of the superior decomposed ores abandoning the mine on reaching sulphurets from ignorance of the process for the extraction of silver.

END QUOTE

This is a fact with many old Spanish mines - they had no way of handling sulphide ores (sulphurets) so would simply abandon the mine when the easily processed decomposed ores were exhausted, leaving behind (in some cases) much larger ore bodies than what they mined out, possibly even richer ores. We do have ways to handle sulphide ores today. Interesting wouldn't you say, amigos?

Nope, as you will personally see. 35 kilometers roughly south of Yecora ORO. I still want that book. One that is far better, is one by BOX, I can't remember it's exact name right now '' Travels in old Mexico"?

The book is online (free) just click on the link in the first post, below my blather. I don't think their site was or is Tayopa, just curious what you (and others) think of it.

Gosh I don't know what is wrong - I tried it again and it seems to work. Have you tried just going to Google books, and doing a search for Hamiltons Mexican Handbook? Perhaps it will pull up that way for you? There is a way to download the full text too, if you cannot get it to work let me know I can download it and EM it to you as a file.
