Incorrect use as a promoter of mining

BARRICK Sarmiento image used to promote mining with phrases taken out of context and do not express all their thoughts.

In a notice in the Diario de Cuyo of February 15, 2011, s and can watch the hero of San Juan along with the phrase: · Need send me here, immediately, my first message to the Legislature of San Juan, telling them that we dedicate ourselves to the mines to save. DF Sarmiento ¨. Below says: ¨ ... dated in Santiago de Chile , on March 17, 1854. Below BARRICK logo.

Actually, that sentence is for a welcome letter to his sister, from March 17, 1884 [MHS, No. 1787, Folder 13], who was asking him to send him to Chile a speech delivered at his time as governor (1862-1864) for inclusion in a book of Speeches (in preparation at the time of sending the letter.) It is very likely to refer Sarmiento the speech of July 10, 1862.

Of all the speeches published in Works is the only one that speaks specifically of mining in San Juan. It says:

¨ mine do not, as you have seen the report Mr Rickard, a vast field of work, but know that the mines produce made capital and the capital migrates in search of enjoyment and safety, such as Potosi, Puno, Copiapo, and other famous mining towns, San Juan will leave millions of its mines, and pass through its doors without leaving lasting signals of its existence. Ready for a vast system of education, to stop here the capital, property and wealth become own, as you exit the mines ¨ [XXI-153].

Indeed, Sarmiento did not have many expectations for mining and mining was not speaking as a fundamental activity in the economy of San Juan. Sarmiento clearly not only understand that mining activity was a little sustainable over time, but also considered education as the only long-term project for the country. San Juan hopeful that will not end up being another Potosi left us this message to San Juan.
