Silver in the Foothills
The country we have reached is silver country, though not in the cataclysmic sense the legend promised. There are working silver mines in two of the foothill valleys we have surveyed, operated by local communities under a chief who is willing to receive a Spanish embassy. The output is modest by Andean standards. But the country is real, the mines exist, and the trade can be opened on terms that do not require a full military occupation. Target Leader negotiates a trade agreement and a token tribute payment.

historical_info = seven_cities_sierra.2.historical_info The eastern slopes of the central Andes do contain commercial silver deposits, though far less than the Potosi cordillera further west. Small Spanish mining operations were established in what is now northern Argentina and southern Bolivia in the late sixteenth century, generally under encomienda arrangements with the local Diaguita and Chicha populations. The Sierra de la Plata of legend, the entire mountain of silver, was never found because it was never there; the actual geological structure of the Andean silver economy was a distributed network of smaller deposits, of which Potosi was the only one of sufficient size to become a legend in its own right.
