Description
COEUR D'ALENE DISTRICT!!This is USGS Bulletin 1142-A,
Geology and Mineral Deposits of the Twin Crags Quadrangle, Idaho.
Published in 1963, there can't be many of these around. This publication consists of a 33-page book and both of the original maps, one of which is a
nice full color map
. This is an interesting area with several mines and some varied geology as well. Mines in this area were for lead, zinc, copper, and antimony. This area is a subzone of the Coeur d'Alene district. Mines discussed in the text include:
Palisade Mine
(This mine is shown in detail on on of the large maps)
International Mine
K.C. Prospect
Patricia #1 Prospect
Tiberius Prospect
Great Dunker Prospect
Bluebird Prospect
Minerals I saw mentioned in the text include:
Sphalerite
Galena
Stibnite
Pyrite
Siderite
Quartz
Pyrrhotite
Chalcopyrite
Barite
Some of the mine areas have several separate areas of workings. This is an interesting area with some cool old mines, and this publication would make a great guide to it. This is a scarce and desirable item of interest to any mineral collector, historian, or local resident.
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.
