I was told a RUMOR from an ex-pat living south of San Flip that it's one of Carlos Slim's ventures. As to the rest, "Quien sabes? Quien Qieres?"

On some maps, the mines there have names: 'La Fortuna' and 'Buena Vista' (before being re-opened).

David is correct about the historical names
Now days Here is a read

Empresas Frisco, SA de CV, is a subsidiary of Grupo Carso SA de CV, which is owned by Carlos Slim.

It was reported in the financial publications that Slim made a profit of 89B USD as a result of the IPO for Frisco/Curoso. Made him the richest man in the world for a time.

Como se dice "BINGO" en Español? :lol: :coolup:

AKgringo - 3-29-2015 at 06:00 PM

Wouldn't that be BINGO, with an accent mark on the I?

The Spanish language version of bingo is Lotería. Played with images instead of numbers and letters.

Playing Lotería is a great way to learn, and practice, your Spanish. Especially while sitting poolside in Baja.

güéribo - 3-30-2015 at 08:23 AM

So right! I've always thought the characters were a little disturbing for a kids' game, though. Racial slurs, death, the drunk . . .

The trucks coming in and out of the mine say Cisco on them
