Property History:
The Vallecillo mines, located in the southwest portion of the Providencia property, were originally worked by Spanish colonizers who apparently abandoned operations due to a combination of water problems and "constant incursions" by local peoples. The Vallecillo Silver Mining Company of New York bought the deposits in 1851. That company began operations at the old Jesus Maria mine, but water problems forced them to move about four kilometers to the east, to another Spanish-era operation, the Delores shaft.
