QUICKSILVER FROM

$4,000 Pounds to the
United States.

A shipment Of 400 TASKS Of quick
silver $4,000 pounds) from San Luis
Potosi, Mexico. to New York, marks
the diversion Of this article from the
home market, and from London, and is
due to unusual market conditions
Quicksilver has not heretofore ap-
peared as an item in the exports from
San Luis PotoSi to the United States.
There are more quicksilver mines in
San Luis POtosi than any other state
in Mexico There are Al mines sub
the quicksilver is produced at Mocte-
yuma, 40 miles north Of San Luis Po-
tosi and at Guadalcazar, 50 miles
northeast of the city. Moctezuma is
comparatively a recent development.
The group of mines at that point
known as Guadalupana, Purissima- and
Application de Purissima, include
about 400 acres. This deposit is rich
in quicksilver, the ore being black
so percent These deposits lie almost
on the surface at an elevation OF about
500 feet above sea level and are con-
troled by Mexican capital, the output
is said to be about 1900 TASKS CT 10
each per annum.
The mines in Guada1eazar are known
as the Trinidad, the San Antonio and
the oscar abaJo, and are Of ancient
origin, for the presence of cinnabar
was evidently known to the indians
before the conquest. Numerous small
circular shafts are found. and in their
neighborhood fragments Of flint i'm
plements and OF pottery. The district
first came into prominence in 1913,
when quicksilver was in so great
demand for the reduction Of silver ores
that the Mexican government offered
a premium to stimulate production.
These have been controlled by Mexi-
can capital since 1894. Their annual
capacity is now 500 to 700 TASKS of
70 pounds each The ere averages
about percent of refined quicksilver,
and even smaller percentage can be
puofitably worked
