SAAVEDRA SILVA, Elvira Eva  and  SANCHEZ SALAZAR, María Teresa. Mining and space in the Pachuca-Real del Monte mining district during the nineteenth century. Invest. Geog [online]. 2008, n.65, pp.82-101. ISSN 2448-7279.

Today, the investigation about the penetration of enterprises with capitals of various origins into the mining activity and its territorial impacts, applied to the past, is an upstream topic. The dominance of the large mining enterprise, first with British capital and then with national capital, in the Pachuca-Real del Monte district throughout the nineteenth century played a leading role in the configuration of the spatial occupation patterns, due to the virtually absolute control that it exerted on silver mining in the area. For this reason, the state and managerial policies are analyzed along with the relationship between mining and space in the mining district across the Mexican nineteenth century, from the perspective of the historical mining geography.

Keywords : Space; mining; enterprise; Pachuca-Real del Monte mining district; nineteenth century.
