Large tin-silver mine. Source of the world's best franckeite specimens. Specimens from here are hard to distinguish from those of the neighboring San Jose mine (qv) and, since the administrative office for both mines was at San Jose, most Itos mine specimens in foreign collections ended up labelled "San Jose mine".
