notes:
Silver was discovered in Zacatecas, Mexico, by the city's founders, Juan de Tolosa, Baltazar Temiño de Bañuelos, Diego de Ibarra, and Cristóbal de Oñate in 1546. By 1710 the mines at Zacatecas produced more sliver than the mines at Potosí. In 1585 it was made a city named for its patron saint, the Virgin of Patrocinio, by Philip II.
