Can anyone on either of the mining history list help with the query below ? I am interested in getting in touch with anyone who may be able to help me research and recover copies of any historical records on the Batopilas Mining District in Chihuahua Mexico. It has a long and storied history starting in 1632 and continuing until shortly after the Mexican Revolution around 1912. I am a geologist working in the Batopilas Mining District for the company that now owns these same mining concessions: MAG Silver Corp. (MAG:TSX-V). www.magsilver.com MAG has an active exploration program in the district and researching old documents is part of that effort. I would greatly appreciate anyone of your experts help in this matter and have a strong vested interest in recovering any old documents in particular annual reports or maps. The two companies last working there were the Consolidated Batopilas Mining Company and the Santo Domingo Silver Mining Company. If any of you could contact me with suggestions of how to pursue this I would greatly appreciate it. Putting me in touch with the right people would be a great step forward.
