The Prehistoric Turquoise Mines of California and the Ancient Indian Workers.

BY GUSTAV EISEN.

It is safe to say that the discovery of prehistoric turquoise mines of California and certain traces of the prehistoric race of Indians which worked these mines and traded with the wealth extracted from them forms the most important discovery yet made in the history of the native races of the Pacific Coast.

Much More!

spent many hours in front of microfiche machine
researching San Fransisco news paper on articles
about Arizona mining
amazing some of the tales told
good to see much of the older newspapers articles are
getting digitized and more easily accessible...

Wonderful Find

This is awesome. Thank you!

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis
