(CALIFORNIA.) Mesía de la Cerda, Alonso. Observations on the Working of the Auriferous Alluvions of California. [3]-12 pages. 8vo, original wrappers, 3 small holes punched through for binder storage, minor soiling and wear; two vertical folds; signed by author on final page "Decr. 1883, Marquis de Caicedo, 12 Villanueva, Madrid, Spain." Madrid, 1884 [1883?]
Describes the author's innovative mining techniques as tested in the gold fields of California. Appears as Palau 166316, but no other copies have been traced. Apparently a translation of the author's almost equally obscure "Observaciones acerca de la Explotación de los Aluviones Auríferos en California" (Palau 166315).
