FRESNILLO

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 210 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRESNILLO , a
town
  of the state of
Zacatecas
 ,
Mexico
 , 37 M. N.W. of the
city
  of
Zacatecas
  on a branch of the Santiago river. Pop. (1900) 6309. It stands on a fertile plain between the
Santa
  Cruz and Zacatecas ranges, about 7700 ft. above sea-level, has a temperate climate, and is surrounded by an agricultural
district
  producing
Indian
  corn and wheat. It is a clean, well-
built
town
 , whose
chief
  distinction is its school of mines founded in 1853. Fresnillo has large
amalgam
  works for the reduction of silver ores. Its silver mines, located in the neighbouring Proano hill, were discovered in 1569, and were for a
time
  among the most productive in
Mexico
 . Since 1833, when their richest deposits were reached, the output has greatly decreased. There is a station near on the Mexican Central railway.
