UNWATERINCi AN ANCIENT MINE.
American Enterprise Doing in Mexico
a Work That Humboldt Planned.
New York SUM

An interesting mining operation is
being completed this month in the
Guaniuato district. famous as the
richest mining territory in Mexico. in
unwatering the Sircna gold mine which
after being worked by the MeXicans
since the year 1850. has been flooded
and abandoned ever since the Mexican
war Of independence in 1S22. There are
at least nine miles of workings in the
old mine. and it has taken two years
labor with powerful electric pumps to
remove the water already iii the work
ings and to fight the incoming flow.
1t was 1000 feet deep when the work le
gan. Now it is less than 400 feet.
Just how much Of the workings re
mains to be uncovered and what there
is in and beyond them no one knows.
| Record keeping and chart making
We're done in very primitive fashion by
the old Mexican miners. AS the clear
ing of the mine has prospered curious
relics have come to light. In one place.
far below the water level the eXplor-
ers came upon Il stable half full "a
skeletons of mules and men vino had
been caught there by the rising flood
Life is cheap in Mexico and no one
could be found who remembered ever
having heard that anybody had been
missed in the mine.
The Sircna il the first of the old mines
in the district to DO unwatered. The pro-
jcct is carried ont by a New York compa-
nv. and il indicates the new channel in
which modern mining methods i'll the old
district run. The company counts on
making an immediate profit by going
over the old working and treating the ore
out of which the Mexican miners with
their mule power ana hand labor could
obtain no paying results. Electricity is
hcirc .'~"d wh"r" mule mower failed. and
when the water is all out Of the mine the
workings Will lie driven dccUor than the
Mcxicans could ever have dreamed of OPP
era ing them.
rho same method Is now being under
taken in otner parts Of the district. y
t.rrnnan syndicate has acquired the IA
mors Nalcnciana mine in the same vein.
out Of which many millions have been
taken Nv the Mcxicans. Another mine i'll
the Vcta Madrc vein. which runs through
the district. yielded the King of Spain
SI7 $50 800 in royalties. The unwatering of
the mines has been discussed since the
time of Humboldt. who had a project for
doing it b. driving a tunnel l. miles long
| into the vein. but it is only now that
American enterprise has given a start to
the work.
