Book finding help about mining in Las Cacachilas

aldosalato - 11-20-2005 at 06:56 PM

I need help to find new or used book:

The Cacachilas District Gold and Silver Mining Co., of Lower California, Mex
ISBN N/A Leonardo Orynski

I already posted a bid on Amazon but no luck yet.

FYI: The Cacachilas is a mountain area just back of La Ventana/El Sargento where in 1850s many settlers from US and Italy tried to find gold and silver.

Mining Reports

If you have a libary card that allows you to access online catalogs look in US Goverment reports under that subject. Many Mexican mines where written up in those days because the majority of the investments were from the USA. Large college libarys have all goverment Publications.

I have a library card from Chula Vista but live in La Paz and will not visit till next year. I checked on their wensite and they do not carry it.
I need to find a copy of this book or find a library in Southern California.

This is US Dept. of the Interior Bulletin 946-C...
Scheelite Deposits in the Norther Part of the Sierra De Juarez, Northern Territory Lower California, Mexico.

It has some mention of gold in the area. North of Laguna Hanson I believe.

If it is of any use...I gave $15.00 its yours for that and the postage.
