Enormous Store* of livid Mid Hllver Worked Front K*Hlc*t Time*. V*, With one-third of nil the silver to Hit' world today having come from tlu? mines of Mex loo, the nietallurgle I?1k tory of this country has fully Justified] Humboldt's famous description of It a* the "treasure hoi.iso of the world," ac- j cording to a bulletin issued by the National (Geographic Society of Wash- ! lngtou, which says: A elose contender with the IIuIUhI States for the tlrst place In the pro duction of sliver- the two having pro dwed iu?a rly seventy i?er ivnl of the world's output in 101 1 and ranking fifth as gold producer, Mexico is easi ly maintaining its position as one of the world's richest nations with ro j sjH'ct to minerahf, a inmltion it has held since the Spanish conquistadores llrst began to extort gold from t ho van quished Azt?s\s. ? When t'ortess landed In Mcxleo he told the natives that, the Spaniards suffered from "a disease which only gold covdd cure," and the chivalrous, credulous Aztecs, It rs said, sent the Kurojieaus great wheels of precious metal as well as ornaments of all sorts, which reckoned in values of today were worth $:?>, 000,000. Immediately after the conquest the S] Milliards begau to work the gold and silver mines of Mexico, but many min eralogists are of the opiulou that there are gold mini's which were known to the Aztecs and worked by tlieiu but which even to this day have l>eeu hid den from the white man, the Indian, actuated by .superstition, keeping their secret. As if to substitute this- atti tude of the natives, the handsomest monument that graces the City of Mex ico between the capital and the castle of Ohapultepec stands to the memory of Cuauhtemoc, the Aztec prince who refused to reveal to the conquerors the source of his people's wealth, even though his torturers in their endeavor to make )ilrt\ flisclopu the whereabouts of this vast Wealth burned the soles from h Is feet The modern invest igaor of social and industrial conditions paints drab pic tures of the natives in some of the Mexican mines, but these are bright pages compared with the black chap ters of the early days in the rich mines of Cuanajuato, where the laborers, un der the cruel taskmasters, tiled from great depths up notched i>olos, bear Ing 100-pound bags of ore on their backs, and then were driven back af ter scarcely time for a breath of fresh air. It was not until about the time of the death of Shakespeare, whose tercentenary the world is celebrating this month, that a lajv was- passed in this mining district "forbidding the branding of slaves 011 the face.". Brutal taskmasters did not always escape unpunished, however. vFor In stance, in the Valenciana mines, which produced $300,000,000 worth of silver in llfty years, the slaves rose in 170(1 and' massacred every white man in that region. Aii ajxnryphal story, strongly rem iniscent of the Peruvian tale of n fire built against an overwheiirnng silver boulder, is told of the discovery of tho rich silver deposits of the Guanajuato district. It Is related that a band of muleteers discovered in that neighbor hood one morning the glitter of refined silver in the dead ashes of their camp fire. All tile stories of early minttig oj>er atlons In MexTco are not blotched with the blood of peons, inhere is the In teresting, authentic account' of the famous Avino mine, worked as an open quarry and deeded by the owner to all the white men who would bifid their houses close together for mutual pro7 tection against hostile tribes. This was the begl nninjf of the prosperous City of Sunshine, Durango. __ It is of the purango vicinity, inci dentally, that one of the most pathetic stories of an ancient prospector's blast ed hopes is told. Thirty yearn after the conquest a wealthy Kpanlgrd, hear ing of a mountain of solid silver, start ecj on a Journey1 of exploratiop. He traveled for days, hoping each morn ing that the rising sun would reveal a gigantic peak of gllateni ng troawu re. At last it came in view. He hastened on, but when he reached the base of the mountain he discovered that it was of iron instead of silver. Crush ed In spirit, he camped that night at the foot of the mass of ferrous ore. Indians fell upon his hand and some of his followers were killed while the leader himself was mortally wounded. He died while making his way back to the Capital. This adventurer's name Is perpetuated in the famous mineral mountain, Cerro de Mercado, one of the richest outcropping* of Iron ore in Hie world. . No ancient mines of Mexico were more Important to the aborigines than these of obsidian, the glassy volcanic rock from which the As tecs made most of their edged tools an? many of their weapons of war. Innumerable are the stories of lost mines which. -Imaginative prospectors arts constantly "rediscovering" for the benefit of ertduloa* investors.
