Financial records of the Compañía Metalúrgica Mexicana and related enterprises, 1890-1968 (bulk 1890-1940).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32845980

Financial records reflecting the activities of the Compañía Metalúrgica Mexicana and its subsidiary or associated enterprises in mining and related industries in Mexico from 1890 to 1968 (bulk dates 1890-1940). The records are comprised primarily of bound ledgers, journals, balance sheets, stock and bond registers, and cash books, but include unbound materials such as receipts, lists of stockholders, and a few pieces of correspondence. Enterprises other than CMM which are substantially represented in the records are Towne Mines Incorporated (1923-1958), Potosí and Rio Verde Railway Company (1898-1968), Mexican Mineral Railway Company (1899-1940), Mexican Lead Company (1899-1959), Montezuma Lead Company (1899-1958), Alvarez Land and Timber Company (1898-1953), and Gold Operators, Incorporated, (1933-1936). Within the records of those organizations, entries appear for other enterprises not named here. One of the bound volumes bears no information identifying the organization to which it pertains; the same is true of some of the unbound leaves present in the records.
