The Carbonates of Leadville and the Formation of Coal in Colorado Fred Stanton

Leading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining publication on Colorado Mining. First published in 1879, "Carbonates of Leadville: A Treatise on the Formation of Coal in Colorado" has been unavailable since those days and sheds important light on the history of the famous mining area in Colorado. Featured here are insights into the geology of Carbonates near Leadville, Colorado and the formation of coal deposits in that area. Also included are details on Assaying, Cupellation and Scorification methods used in mining. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface.
