Papago dry washer

Prospector operating dry washer called a papago. This dry washer is the old Indian method of washing for gold. The rocks and dirt are placed in the higher compartment. Below and to the back is a bellows made of canvas. This is pumped to blow through the screening and thus blow away loose dirt while the heavy gold remains. Pinos Altos, New Mexico.)
