Ore Deposits of the Platoro and Summitville Mining Districts of Colorado Us Dept of Interior

Leading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining publication on Colorado Mining. First published in 1917, "Ore Deposits of the Platoro and Summitville Mining Districts of Colorado" has been unavailable since those days and sheds important light on the history of the famous mining area in Summit County, Colorado. Featured here in this fascinating text are insights into the local geology, as well as dozens of mines in the Summitville, Platoro, Gilmore, Stunner and Jasper Mining Districts, including the Eurydice, Pass-Me-By, Asiatic, Watrous, Perry, Miser, Guadaloupe, Forest King, Parole, Morrimac, Congress, Mammoth, Golconda, Little Annie, Bobtail, Aztec and others. Lavishly illustrated with rare photos and hard to find mine maps. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As such, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
