Mexican silver mining
Hi,
In a text describing work in a Mexican silver mine, in the 1920s, a report notes that mechanical drills are used in "las obras de preparación y exploración, y también algunas de disfrute"
I am at a loss as to what "obras de disfrute" are in a silver mine.
Any input much appreciated!
Thanks,
xL
