The [75] mines of which we have been informed, and which have beenseen thus far are those of Masbad, which are good, from the riversof which it is said to be taken. Much gold is found in the islandof Vindanao, in the districts of Butuan, Curigao, and Parasao. Itis said that much gold is mined there and that it is the loftiest ofall these islands. In the island of Luzon, where we are at present, are the following mines and rivers: In Patr...o there are mines, aswell as in Bondo and Pacorago, and in Malabago, in the district ofGalvan. There are mines likewise in the province of Ylocos, in theneighborhoods of Balatao, Turrey, Alingay, and Dinglas. These are veryrich mines from which, it is said, much gold is extracted, and thatthere are many metals and rivers which have not been examined. On theother coast there are also mines, which are called those of Paracali, and a river is near by; from there much fine gold is taken out. Inother parts there are more mines, which will yield a great deal ofgold throughout, if Spaniards operate and work them.
