  • The Economics of Mining Evolved More Favorably in Mexico Than Peru
    Created by Richard L. Garner 3/9/2007 1 MINING TRENDS IN THE NEW WORLD 1500-1810 "God or Gold?" That was the discussion question on an examination that I took many years ago when I started my studies in Latin American history. I do not recall how I answered the question. But the phrase has stuck in my mind ever since. And it has worked its way into much of the history written about the conquest and post-conquest periods, especially the Spanish conquests. From the initial conquests in the Caribbean and certainly after the conquests of Mexico and Peru the search for minerals became more intensive even as the Spanish Crown and its critics argued over religious goals. In the middle of the sixteenth century after major silver discoveries in Mexico and Peru the value of the output of the colonial mines jumped significantly from a few million pesos annually (mainly from gold) to several tens of millions. Perhaps “Gold” (mineral output) had not yet trumped “God” (religious conversion) on every level and in every region, but these discoveries altered the economic and financial equation: mining while not the largest sector in terms of value or labor would become the vehicle for acquiring and consolidating wealth. Until the late seventeenth century Spanish America was the New World’s principal miner; but then the discovery of gold in Brazil accorded it the ranking gold producer in the New World while Spanish American remained the ranking silver producer. The rise of mining altered fundamentally the course of history in the New World for the natives, the settlers, and the rulers and had no less of an effect on the rest of the world.

LANGLIE, GOVERNOR Department of Conservation and Development JOHN BROOKE FINK, Director THIRD BIENNIAL REPORT of the DIVISION OF MINES AND MINING For the Period Commencing January 1, 1939 and Ending January 1, 1941 By THOMAS B. HILL, SUPERVISOR J . w. MELROSE, GEOLOGIST OLYMPIA STATE PRI NTINC PLANT DIVISION OF MINES AND MINING Hon. John Brooke Fink, Director, Department of Conservation and Development, Olympia, Washington. Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the third biennial report of the Division of Mines and Mining, covering the period from January l, 1939, to January 1, 1941. Respectfully, THOMAS B. HILL, Supervisor. DIVISION OF MINES AND MINING THOMAS B. HILL Supervisor SUMMARY OF MINERAL INFORMATION The present widespread interest in the mineral resources of Washington had its beginning in 1933 when the Director of the Department of Conserva­ tion and Devlopment devoted a substantial part of an allocation of $80,000 from Washington Emergency Relief Administration to mineral investigations. Two years later, the Division of Mines and Mining was created, and has continued the investigations, the work of compiling information and promoting the development of the mineral resources. Extensive information had been developed on the mineral resources of the State in the previous twenty-five years, largely through the Washington Geological Survey and the Division of Geology. This information had been published in some 50 or more bulletins and 1·eports, about half of which are now out of print. The information, while extensive, was scattered and in many instances fragmentary. The result of the work begun by the Department in 1933, and continued by this Division since 1935, is that now information is available on all the known mineral occurrences of the State.

  • The Mexican Mining Bubble That Burst1
    CHAPTER 34 The Mexican Mining Bubble that Burst1 Ivani Vassoler Similar to the 17th century “Tulipmania” in Holland when tulip bulbs became a top commodity causing a speculative fever that, in the end, ruined thousands of Dutch investors,2 Mexico, in the first decades of the 19th cen- tury, became a hot spot for Europeans eager to reap huge profits from Mexi- can silver mines. Yet the mine-investing rush quickly proved to be much less profitable than European investors assumed, and foreign companies with- drew from Mexico, thus souring the newly independent country’s relation- ship with international investors. While the episode undoubtedly created a bumpy start for an emerging nation desperately in need of capital to finance its development, much less clear, however, is why it happened. As the expec- tations of high investment returns went unfulfilled, financiers in Europe alleged the one mostly to blame was Alexander von Humboldt (Kellner 1963, 110) for his assessment of the Mexican mines’ potential, described in details in his Political Essay on the Kingdom of New Spain (1811). The accusations therefore raise questions as to what really prompted the cash. Did Humboldt exaggerate the quality and abundance of minerals in Mexico and their poten- tial for huge profits, or were his writings misinterpreted, and possibly dis- torted, by financial experts? Was the crash, in the end, just the product of investors’ greed? 1. During colonial times Mexico, was for the Spanish Crown, simply New Spain. In this article New Spain and Mexico will be employed interchangeably for the sake and clarity of my arguments.

  • A Century of Silver Mining Since 1863 Has Made Idaho Into the Nation's Leading Silver State. in the Hundred Years from 1864 Thro
    IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY REFERENCE SERIES SILVER MINING IN IDAHO Number 160 December 1964 A century of silver mining since 1863 has made Idaho into the nation's leading silver state. In the hundred years from 1864 through 1964, a total production of about 786 million ounces has been attained. Figured at varying prices realized over the years as the metal was recovered and sold, Idaho's silver production amounted to a total value of 613 million dollars. At the 1964 price level--which practically equals the $1.29 per ounce mint price--Idaho's silver is valued at about 1 billion, fifteen million dollars. Approximately 686 million ounces in production totals (over 885 million at 1964 prices) of this came from the Coeur d'Alene district, which has produced more than three times as much silver as has the celebrated Comstock in Nevada. four of the nation's largest silver mines are now in the Coeur d'Alene area, which in total production has surpassed all other silver regions in the United States. Lode mines which assayed high in silver were discovered March 7, 1863, near Rocky Bar, and several months later near Silver City. These early assays ran high in gold also, and the Rocky Bar properties proved to be primarily gold. Those near Silver City, however, turned out to be mainly silver, as did the mines discovered June 6, 1864, at Banner. Still another early mining camp with significant silver values was Atlanta, where gold placers found in the fall of 1864 were traces in part to the great Atlanta lode which showed promise for silver as well as for gold.

  • The Candelaria Silver District, Nevada
    THE CANDELARIA SILVER DISTRICT, NEVADA. By ADOLPH KNOPF. OUTLINE OF REPORT. Candelaria, an old silver-mining camp in western Nevada, has produced $20,000,000, mainly during the seventies and eighties of the last centjiry. The ore worked in those early days averaged $40, $50, or more a ton, but the bonanza ore has long been exhausted, and the attempt now being made to revive the camp is based on the belief that there is left a considerable amount of ore of moderate grade ore carrying 10 to 15 ounces of silver to the ton from which a profit may be won by applying modern methods of mining and metallurgy. The rocks of the district consist of a steeply dipping series of cherts, argillites, and felsites, all very probably of Ordovician age. These rocks have been intruded by peridotite or allied rock (now completely altered to serpentine) and quartz monzonite porphyry at Candelaria itself, and large intrusions of granite appear a few miles from the camp. Resting unconformably on this group of older rocks and showing by its complete lack of any alteration that it is later than the mineralization is a series of Tertiary volcanic rocks, mainly rhyolite lavas and tuffs. Later than both these groups are the series of horizontal basalt flows that form the prominent cappings of the district. These flows were sub­ sequently dislocated by normal faulting, and by this faulting the present relief of the district was determined. The silver ores are highly oxidized, forming a friable aggregate deeply stained by oxides of manganese and iron.
