Ihave a graduate student exploring a mining and processing site in Mexico near the town of Mineral de Pozos.  Apparently this site produced mercury at two separate periods in history, but we are struggling a bit with a lack of good documentation.  Can anyone suggest some sources, in English and/or in Spanish?  Of course, references about the Mexican industry would be most useful, but general sources would be helpful, as well.

Thanks for your consideration,
PEM
