ALMADEN, or ALMADEN DEL AZOGUE

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 711 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALMADEN, or ALMADEN DEL AZOGUE , a town of Spain, in the province of Ciudad Real; situated in mountainous country 55 m. W.S.W. of the city of Ciudad Real. Pop. (1900) 7375.
Almaden
 , the Sisapon of the Romans, is celebrated for its
mercury
  mines, which were extensively wrought by the Romans and Moors, and are still productive, the ore increasing in richness with the
depth
  of the descent. The mines ranked with those of Adria, in
South
 
Austria
 , as the most valuable in the world, until the
great
  development of the
mercury
  deposits at New
Almaden
 , in
California
 , U.S.A., between 1853 and 1857. They were
long
  worked, by convict labour, owing to their unhealthy atmosphere; and exemption from military service is granted to miners who have worked at Almaden for two years. The annual yield is about 1,400,000 lb. Lead and
sulphur
  are obtained in the neighbourhood. The nearest railway station is that of Chillbn, 3 m. S. on the Madrid-Badajoz-
Lisbon
  line.
