Some mine operators understood TO base their chet
opposition the statement that the importation by the
companies of large values in bullion would attract
to the mining camps the attention of bandits from all over
Mexico and that robbery and bloOdshed would result As
matter of fact that exactly what would happen were
the companies to try to keep the imported metal on hand
Naturally the thing do would be to ship the coin direct
from the border to banks in another Of the strong
well garrsoned cities, which the bandits now far too
weak to attack Also it would wise to ship bullion d.
rect the Mexican mint for coinage and then bank the
money.
If this course were adopted and followed out It would
be only short time until bandit bands watching their
chances to hold up trains and rob them of the gold silver
they would be carrying south from the border It would
then be up the Mexican government not only to attack
bands with vgor but also to provide train guards IN
such strength as to make capture Of the metal by bandits
