Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal histories in this collection are easily readable, entertaining and informative recollections of the lives and times of people who helped shape the Mexican mining industry for 6 decades-late 1930'S through early 1990's-and their ties to El Paso. Texas.The histories are grouped into four sections: Texas Miners (engineering graduates of Texas College of Mines prior to 1945); Ex-Patriot Engineers: Mexican National Engineers; and Ex-Patriot Wives. Texas Miners give insights into such events as development of the Nukay mine; discovery of the Hercules iron mine and the Santo Niño discovery at Fresnillo, development of Mexico's barite industry, and formation of the Comission Fomento Minero. Ex-Patriot and Mexican National engineers provide differing views on mining operations and the causes and effects of Mexicanization of the mining industry. Ex-Patriot wives give colorful accounts of conditions and family live in mining camps and foreign adventures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The convertors would spew it out,” employee Arturo Hernandez recalled, referring to molten metal. “You’d see the ground, the dirt, catch on fire. . . . If you slip, you’d be like a little pat of butter, melting away.” Hernandez was describing work at ASARCO El Paso, a smelter and onetime economic powerhouse situated in the city’s heart just a few yards north of the Mexican border. For more than a century the smelter produced vast quantities of copper—along with millions of tons of toxins. During six of those years, the smelter also burned highly toxic industrial waste under the guise of processing copper, with dire consequences for worker and community health. Copper Stain is a history of environmental injustice, corporate malfeasance, political treachery, and a community fighting for its life. The book gives voice to nearly one hundred Mexican Americans directly affected by these events. Their frank and often heartrending stories, published here for the first time, evoke the grim reality of laboring under giant machines and lava-spewing furnaces while turning mountains of rock into copper ingots, all in service to an employer largely indifferent to workers’ welfare. With horror and humor, anger, courage, and sorrow, the authors and their interviewees reveal how ASARCO subjected its employees and an unsuspecting public to pollution, diseases, and early death—with little in the way of compensation. Elaine Hampton and Cynthia C. Ontiveros weave this eloquent testimony into a cautionary tale of toxic exposure, community activism, and a corporate employer’s dubious relationship with ethics—set against the political tug-of-war between industry’s demands and government’s obligation to protect the health of its people and the environment.
