Download or read book The Silver of the Sierra Madre written by John Mason Hart and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the great barranca known today as Copper Canyon, the small mining town of Batopilas once experienced a silver bonanza among the largest ever known. American investors, believing that Mexico offered an unexploited cornucopia, began purchasing mines in the Sierra Madre, seeking to expand their hold on natural resources outside U.S. borders. From 1861 until the Revolution of 1910, the men of the Batopilas Mining Company ruled the region using their wealth, armed might, and extensive connections. The technology, industrialism, and politics their interests brought to this remote community tied the Tarahumara, Yaqui, Mayo, and other peoples of the barrancas directly to the economies of the United States and China. Local society was revolutionized, and a dramatic tapestry of human interactions was created. Based on many volumes of mining company records, The Silver of the Sierra Madre exposes the mentality and methods of mine owners John Robinson and Alexander “Boss” Shepherd, vividly detailing their exploitation of the people and the natural resources of Chihuahua. Hart aptly demonstrates the human and financial losses resulting from President Porfirio Díaz’s development programs, which relied on foreign investors, foreign managers, and foreign technology. This unprecedented work also provides a highly interesting ethnographic and social description of one of the least-known areas of Mexico. It is a tale of power and desperation, respect and arrogance, adventure and tragedy, and, ultimately, triumph and survival.

Book excerpt: Dr. Peter Flawn, president-emeritus of the University of Texas, Austin, began life as a geologist. After a stint in World War II, he teamed up with another geologist, Philip W. Beckley, to explore and develop an old Spanish silver mine in a remote, mountainous area of the state of Durango, Mexico, known as the barancas. Beckley was a true soldier of fortune, flying in and out of the site with a small plane, the only way to reach the Santa Cruz mine. This personal memoir includes the decisions and actions of the Dougherty family of Beeville, Texas, the de facto owners of the mine properties, and others closely associated with the project both from Texas and Mexico. Beckley's tragic death, either by accident or by a bandit, eventually closed the project. Dr. Flawn retired after a career in university education and dedicated his memoirs to his old friend, describing their association from the period of 1966 to 1972. The author also provides a history of the Santa Cruz mine from 1908 until 1966, as told through reports and letters from a succession of mine managers.

Download or read book Real del Monte written by Robert W. Randall and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To speak of mining in newly independent Mexico is to speak of silver. And silver, historically abundant in the Real del Monte–Pachuca district, was the object of the Company of Adventurers in the Mines of Real del Monte. Organized in response to a plea by Pedro Romero de Terreros for help in rehabilitating his famous family’s once-rich properties, the English Real del Monte was led by men convinced that the application of English capital, management practices, and technology to those ruined mines and mills would reap them a profit and would revitalize the new nation’s most promising industry. The adventurers were to be disappointed. The story of the English company is one of financial disaster: the loss of more than $5 million between its beginning in 1824 and its dissolution in 1849. Yet this failure was ironic, for upon the foundations of the English company was built a modern concern that yielded great rewards to Mexican and American successors to the hapless Englishmen. A full account of a single risky venture, this inquiry is a microcosm of early foreign economic penetration into the Mexican mining industry. It offers specific solutions to poorly understood historical problems concerning the wave of capital that flowed from Great Britain into Latin America upon the disruption of the Spanish Empire, problems hitherto treated only in generalizations.
