So it Oh yes, Two was a substantial it was hundred hike? completely miles is a different. long way. Yes. And you went Oh, no by roads. We would get morning. six by train. would off We or car? get the would 6:30 There on were the train go A.M. to and train at a very at about hotel catch few midnight 4:30 and the automobile A.M. and in we the wait until about train into Santa Barbara. E@s Where At FO: a did you place Which But is change? called in now Jimenez. Chihuahua. they have paved roads throughout that country. E@? Oh yes, drag FO: so it that behind If you want At Santa you can put it all in a trailer a very historic and you. to? Barbara, now that is area. Oh yes, indeed. Santa 24 Barbara would be--well the WILLIAM P. HEWITT Santa #1 Barbara-San think would Francisco-Del be the Oro greatest District mining I would district in Mexico. FO: In all It would of Mexico? be whether it So it toss would Spaniards, FO: a had was one a up be Pachuca mint of whether there what the it in in would be Hildago. the that or They, the to as the refer to but 1500s. historians refer Bonanzas? Oh yes. it was What a it They By the was were the and know oxidized ores I got day, no, tonnage. our there, they mining been Then from the the a the early mining in two. days. depth gold thousand and to 1,200 the daily mines. huge. mills mills of contained was have the in were ores must were amalgam course various those silver? an from that the handled concentrate was sent smelters.

The bad that the authorities We don't Mexican 24 American said, care "Look, what auditors you agreed Smelting here do and is 51% with it, that there WILLIAM P. HEWITT was not share FO: enough of the was finally and see Who #1 Asarco made, some was money in Mexico to properties. well then purchase When again, that you their agreement could operate light. the president don't remember. then, would this have been moderate of the Aleman? Well, I Was e one of administrations Well, in I would looking probably to Salt or were say back was the that at Lake in they were It might But which somewhat they it. Aleman. more it case a radical? little have was it more bit been after might radical Aleman it we were moved have been after Aleman. Who was before Oh, Cardenas. him? Cardenas? No, Avila But those They right. were tough tough were acquired said, is the "Look, Camacho was Cardenas. after Camacho Cardenas between was Camacho that Yes, was was--there Cardenas Aleman. and between them. times. Fortunately times. 51 percent you folks knew know mine." 25 nothing how to person the about mine, go who mining and ahead and WILLIAM FO: Do WH: For P. HEWITT #1 it. a Then large the you number Mexican know very percent. So forty-nine the group They that government said it minus worked they didn't reduced fifteen the which is nicely. wanted come Asarco very out a of interest what? cut, the 51 down to Thirty-four. percent. original of years well that Thirty-four Now of Asarco engineers still have I properties believe fine from managers are the and owned by Monterrey still have a area. a fine organization. Are they mostly Mexicans? Entirely. Entirely Mexican? But were trained they were they Oh yes, over for That I It I next idea. to be absolutely had think no so is I how it continuing a still for see those who take generation? no would Asarco. training have seems have the by there if excellent of tradition trained know you Do worked. well. and experience I wouldn't I crucial hope would and I [END OF TAPE] 26 know. don't doesn't it? is the that Kknow. case.
