    This rare old work discusses the geology of this historic mining area and provides a lot of detail about the distribution of a number of key elements that make up part of the ore system there. The following elements are discussed in the book along with maps for each element showing its distribution in the area:
    Gold
    Silver
    Arsenic
    Boron

    Altogether this makes a very interesting report that offers a rare glimpse at a complete mineralizing system and as such it is a fairly unusual report. This will make a great resource for the historian of this area, and simply interesting reading for anybody.
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
