Rich Placers Draw Miners to Rivers and Gulches
As rains resume, placers flow with water, making dry-washer work feasible and wages rise for Mexican miners. Ground near Dateh and Grayback remains largely untapped, with potential for vast investment. Local operators urged to consult Mine Investment offices in Denver, Kansas City or St Louis for funding. Other notes: Garfield lease at W. TP Willson's site, Beecher, El Dorado, Bonanza mill activity, Richmond mill restart, Garfield tunnel progress, and Crang vein worth over 100 dollars per ton.

Solving the Great Problem on Gold Deposits in New Mexico
A letter from A W Harris of Kingston New Mexico dated August 27 1891 challenges McKinnons critique of gold deposit origins. He argues placer gold derives from quartz vein breakdown and glacial and hydrologic processes, cites authorities like Phillips Newbury and Nogerath, and urges readers to accept a theory of deep lode sources feeding placers.
