Leading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining publication on the evaluation and examination of mines and prospects by the US Department of Interior. First published in 1923, it has been unavailable for over a century and sheds important light on the mining history of Shoshone County, Idaho. Some of the topics include the history of mining in Shoshone County, a look at the local geology and ore characteristics of lead-silver deposits, zinc deposits, copper, antimony, gold and other minerals. Also included are insights into the history, production, characteristics and locations of numerous mines in the area. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface.
