This publication consists of the 39-page book and ALL SIX OF THE ORIGINAL MAPS, four of which are foldout maps bound into the book, and the other two of which are in a pocket in the back of the book. All are in excellent condition, and several have nice colors. Some of the maps are of specific mine workings. Quite a number of mines in this area are discussed in the book, including:

    Marks and Thompson mine
    Ray mine

This is a rare publication on an interesting and historical mining area. This is a rare opportunity for the collector of Oregon minerals, the historian, or anyone that wants to give the area a crack!
    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.
