Bob,
Try to find a copy of 'Handbook for Prospectors' by M.W. von
Bernewitz, 1931, McGraw-Hill. This book even details how to lash your
packs to your burros.
For a few stories and tales, take a glance at 'Lost Gold and Silver
Mines of the Southwest' by Eugene L.Conrotto, 1995, Dover Publications,
it's probably still in print.
