    One of my distant relatives was a wealthy tin magnet during the 1920's and 30's in Bolivia. His last name was Camacho. Sometime during the 1930's he died in a plane crash over the Andes Mountains. I am one of his heirs but have not received a dime from his estate. Since his death there has been a number of revolutions and the minining industry was nationalized.
