<P> Railroads came to the area starting in the 1880s and 1890s , which allowed many old mines in the region to reopen at a profit . Since most of the railroads were American , the foreign influence led to unrest among the people living in the mountains , causing the Tomochic rebellion in 1892 . In addition to the railroads , canals were constructed in the 1890s in the Yaqui and Mayo river valleys . However , these canal projects failed due to the resistance that the natives of the valleys put up against the projects . Loggers began arriving in the mountains in the late 1800s . In response to the new industry , the Tarahumara moved further into the canyons . </P>
