RARE ONE!! ONLY ONE I\'VE EVER HAD!! AMAZING MAPS AND HISTORY!!

This is USGS Professional Paper 338, Geology and Ore Deposits of East Shasta Copper-ZInc District, Shasta County, California, Published in 1961, this is a very scarce item! This item comes complete withthe 107-page bookand all 16 of the original geologic maps, which come in a separate map case! This area was a significant mining district for many years. The geology covers the area around the southern and eastern parts of Lake Shasta. Most of the maps are color, and show the regional geology, the geology of specific mines, and cross sections and levelmapsof underground workings of some of the mines. This is a huge report I have never offered before and I have to say the maps are really nice. The largest map is about 50 inches wide! (photo #2) There is also a fantastic block diagram of one of the mines (#9), as well as lots of other interesting ones. Have a look through all the pictures.

This area featured numerous mines, among which were:

Bully Hill mine

Afterthought mine

Asher prospect

Cook Prospect

Cowboy City mine area

Donkey mine

and several others.

All the formations of the area are described in detail, as well as the minerals found in the mines. About 26 minerals are mentioned in the text, including gold and silver in addition to numerous copper minerals, and sphalerite and galena. Covellite is noted as having been found at one of the mines.

There is a wealth of information here, enough to keep you busy for a while going though it all. It makes for interesting reading, and the maps are great. It is so uncommon to find everything complete and together.

Expert packing assured.
