A fragmented narrative describes a mine in the Chisos range and workers from Mexico. Tensions with neighbors led to the mine being used as a prison. Before execution, prisoners viewed their homeland from a cave near San Vicente, while a peak in the Chisos was named Lost Mine, fueling belief it hid the mine's opening.
