A rare report on the potentials of the silver mines in the Cerro del Bote region of Zacatecas, in north-central Mexico. The map shows the positions of the silver veins on the Cerro del Bote, and the text gives an enthusiastic appraisal of the riches to be gained from the "virgin ground" of the "enormous" mines of the area. This pamphlet was produced to drum up support for the Cerro del Bote Mining Association, based in London, and potential subscribers are urged to send in payments for shares. The main body of the text is signed in print at the conclusion by "Gennaro Placci" and dated April 1838 in London. An appendix contains extracts from Mexican government reports on the mining qualities of Zacatecas. R.W.G. Vail (who was editing Sabin at that point) notes that the Sabin entry is from "a ms. slip prepared by Joseph Sabin," implying that Vail himself never saw a copy. No copies are listed on OCLC or the NUC - this is apparently the only located copy. Rare and interesting. SABIN 90694. Modern plain wrappers. 1½-inch closed tear in upper portion of map, with no loss. Final text page a bit dusty. Overall very good.
