This large, easy-to-use volume lists the works of more than eleven hundred different authors, covering thousands of stories of lost mines and buried treasures supposedly located in fifteen Western and Southwestern states and in Mexico. In addition to being a boon to those adventurers who are tempted to search for lost mines and buried treasures, it will be an important basic research tool for historians, geologists, geographers, anthropologists, archaeologists, and folklorists, and it will be useful in identifying the man treasure hoards and mining claims all the way from the Lost Adams Diggings in Arizona to the Stagecoach in Wyoming. The information given in this important bibliography was acquired through perusal of an unusually large number of books, newspapers, magazines, unpublished manuscripts, deposits in private and public libraries, holdings of various historical foundations, and governmental records and archives. The task took Mr. Probert three full years of steady, patient work. Many of these stories of lost mines and buried treasures have resulted in the discovery of some that are rarely acknowledged, largely because, as Mr. Probert points out, "those who have been so fortunate as to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow have deemed it wiser and much safer to keep their own counsel" -- Book jacket.

Herein an attempt has been made to correlate and condense more than two hundred historical tales and legends of lost mines. In some instances little more than a place is noted, in others, a short condensed version of the tale so that it is only necessary for the adventurous nomad to furnish a little imagination as to the action which took place. Much of the buried treasure remains hidden and the mountains will continue to reward the seeker of gold. There is romance and adventure in the quest. Many of the best mines will be found. This is a reprint of the 1953 edition.

This book contains over 90 stories of Lost Mines and Treasurers, in Southern California (composed of the Counties of Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura). Many of the stories concern treasurers buried by the Priests, the Spanish, Indians, bandits and Colonial settlers during the many incidents and wars that rocked the area in the 16th through the early 20th centuries. I found the data for this book while doing research on old mines for my series of books Mines of the American West. The "Lost Mines and Treasurers" were identified from articles in early American newspapers and other sources considered reliable. Where possible, for those lost treasures still to be found, I have tried to tie them to modern mines or areas and include some background data on such areas. In doing this, some of them seemed to "fall short" in the area of fact and logic, which I may point out. The reader should understand that this is a collection of data from old and new publications and not a focused specifically on the effort to find the specific properties, although some research, especially from a logic standpoint, has been done. If the reader can glean critical information from these original articles and the limited research that allows or helps him or her to locate a "lost mine" or "lost treasure", I wish him or her well and leave it to them to reap the rewards.The print version of this book has been produced in the 81⁄2" X 11" format to keep the price low. If done in 6" X 9" or smaller, the book would be 2 or 3 times as many pages in length and would cost substantially more to increased "on demand" print costs. These seem to be heavily influenced by the total number of pages. While this may be one of the seeming drawbacks to "on-demand printing" - the benefit of "on-demand printing" is that specialty books, such as this, are now practical to publish where the target market may be relatively small and minimal returns to the author are acceptable.Due to the number of stories I found for the State of California, the stories have been split into three books, Southern California, Central California and Northern California. This was done to keep the cost of the book under $10.00 and to keep the book small enough so that if it were produced in a smaller page size, such as the more common 6" X 9" or smaller, or as a "pocket book", the number of pages would still be manageable. It should also be noted that I may periodically update and revise the electronic version before creating a Fourth Edition. The guidelines for submissions for the electronic versions allow updates, without producing a full new edition, while the "print on demand" or hard copy paperback version does not and require that a full new edition to be developed to incorporate any changes. As such, the two books may not be exactly the same, as it is likely the electronic version will be updated more frequently than the paperback.

This book contains 85 stories of Lost Mines and Treasurers, in Central California (composed of the Counties of Alameda, Fresno, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa, Mono, Monterey, San Benito, San Francisco, Santa Clara and Tuolumne).
