Don't worry Pati. I knew it was Pozos and San Luis de la Paz. I actually live in San Luis Potosí, 100 km north. Pozos was the mining town, so maybe they produced the (tool) pieces to be used at the mills in San Luis de la Paz.
Patricia Rosas (asker) Jul 2, 2007:
Pozos y San Luis Sorry, Enrique! I should have just left the names (X = Pozos; Y = San Luis but I always try to be circumspect with the clients' material. Maybe this is just another typo or error.
Enrique Espinosa Jul 2, 2007:
pieces? of what?. I think it is refering to pieces of some sort of metallic tools to be used in the mill (planta de beneficio). In other words, X could be a factory that supply specialized pieces to Y, and, in return, they receive first needing goods

Shootingstar: I am so sorry that I couldn't give the points to you or Ed. The answers just don't seem right to me. My guess is that this text is just so poorly written that it doesn't make sense, even in the original. Thanks for your help anyway!

Ed: I'm struggling with the writing in this document. Does the complete sentence mean that the copper cake was returned to Pozos (along with essentials, like foodstuffs)? Thanks for explaining the process, which I only understand superficially.
Thanks, Ed, for your help. I had to close this one without grading because the sentence still doesn't make sense to me. I probably shouldn't have posted the question (and I should have asked the client). I appreciate your help all the same!
