Ms. Fernandez:
I would be very interested in receiving a copy of
your report regarding arrastras. We have an upcoming inventory project
associated with an 1860 mining district in southern Nevada. The proponents
are aware of at least two arrastras in the project area, and they are convinced
that they are Spanish in origin. My mailing address:

Thank you for your assistance in this
matter.
