Where is the deepest mine in the
world? That is a question very few
people in this country can answer cor
rectly Even most mining experts
would probably make a wrong guess
unless they had made rather ex-
haustiVe inquiries anent the subject
for 1t is located in section of the

to find it, The deepest mine-gold or
Of any other metals located in Bra
zil 1t is near a place bearing the
name of Villa Nova de Lima, in the
state of Minas Geraes, about 800 miles
north of Rio de Janeiro 1t has been
worked, more or less Systematically
for something over so years, is known
as the MORO Velho and is owned and
operated by an English company.
Last year two young professors of
geology Benjamin LIE Roy Miller, of
Lehigh university, and Joseph 7.
Singewald, Jr,, of Johns Hopkins, in
vestigated almost all of the known
mining districts of the southern con-
tinent and brought back with them
vast store of information relative to
the mineral wealth of the various
countries visited and it was in Brazil
that they found this unusual and in
some respects unrivalled gold mine.
They tell about it in an article in the
December 1915, number of the Bulle-
tin of the Pan American Union
washington, d. Co. from which the
following facts are taken.
The Moro Velho mine is located in
the gold belt of Brazil, where the
Portuguese were first induced to settle
by the discovery of the yellow metal
The first gold was discovered in 1869
near the present city of Ouro Preto.
The gold was coated with a black
substance and hence was called "ouro
preto"-back gold. The city which
they founded was long called Villa
RIGA de Ouro Preto-the Rich City of
Black Coda name which was some
what cumbersome even for the Portu-
gese, so they finally shortened it to
just Ouro Preto. the name by which
1t is known today. Once upon time
it was about the most important city
in Brazil. gold working surrounding
it and the valuable metal being OBJ
tanned from the gravel of almost
every stream in the region. Not only
the stream gravels yielded gold, but
many gold bearing quartz veins were
worked.
Just when the MORO Velho mine
was first opened is not known, but it
was being operated toward the close
of the 18th century, and considerable
work had been done when the pres
ent company obtained control of it in
