. The Cuba review. Cuba -- Periodicals. TlK' <,l i-:! < (â¢.(â iicral \'ic\v of Mnics and Plant, l-:i Cobre. which was erected by an order of Spanish priests and has fallen down due to the many exca- vations and mining operations throughout the hill underneath. This old chapel is known as the "Virgin of El Cobre" and contains an image of the "Virgin Mary" which has stood, un- scathed throughout the years. The mining camp proper consists of offices, power house, laboratory, shops, foundry and concentrators, and in the foundry there are facilities for making many large copper composi- tion castings from the concentrated ore taken from the mines. The plant is in charge of Mr. W. H. Emerson, General Manager, and he is assisted by a staff of .\mericans and Englislimen. Several hundred men are employed in the mines at present and the mining labor is entirely Spanish from the Gallego province of Spain, and these Gallegos will not work with Mexicans or Spaniards from other sections of Spain, or in fact any other foreign class of labor, on account.
