Thanks a bunch - I will try the library tomorrow and see if I can get that book.
While you are at the library, also ask them to order a copy of
“Gold on the Desert” by Smith.
This is the story of the Betty Lee Mine, out of Wellton, Az and it is all true.
My friend Mary’s husband Jay did some Cat work there at the end of the depression and I have his ledger for the work.
We took Mary and her daughter and others there for Christmas dinner/picnic, complete with turkey, in 1975.
It was a good thing that 2 of them were nurses, as Bill and the guys went up the mountain to the jewelry grade ore and Bill managed to get a piece of his rock hammer in his chest, which stayed there for another 20 years.
Another book that I love, is Golden Mirages, published about 1942 and was written by Bailey, if I have the authors name correct.
It is a fantastic book of the old treasure stories that he investigated and had real knowledge of, in the Calif/Arizona border area and San Diego County.
I am allowed to use the above 3 books when writing historical articles as reference books.
