The Spanish discovered silver lodes here in 1531, which started commercial silver mining in the area. Francisco de Hoyos and Juan Juan Jaramillo made the discovery when returning from a military expedition to Guerrero. Using Indian slave labor until the ban from doing so was enforced in 1550, the resultant mines produced 1000 pounds of silver by 1539. Prominent mine owners included Juan de Burgos and Hernan Cortes. Most of the mines were abandoned by 1582 however.[1]

gollark: The more significant issue is that the modem knows roughly where you are, and can (being a modem) make calls and texts.
gollark: And obviously a modem, being a modem, is meant to have network access.
gollark: I mean, I assume it's still powering up the relevant USB devices.
gollark: Maybe emulated serial or whatever.
gollark: Even if you specify that the modem should be a, well, modem and not a keyboard in Linux, there's still probably a really small attack vector in mucking with the bootloader via keyboard when it's still booting up.Assuming you actually can interact by keyboard.
