1885 Mining~Colorado, Texas, Nova Scotia~Gold, Silver + Here's an 1885 book full of what may be little-known and perhaps nearly lost mining information.

Geology and Mineral Resources of the Rio Grande Region in Texas and Coahuila (coal, silver, etc.). The Wolf Safety Lamp. Importantly, some of the many mining papers or articles in this book are illustrated with maps and engravings, including fold-out. This is a scarce original edition of Transactions of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, Volume XIII, Feb. 1884 to June 1885. CONDITION: The book is hardbound with leather spine and cover tips, with strong gilt lettering on the spine. Ex-library. Library plates on both pastedowns, and some library pencil markings here and there. Fraying at cover tips. Text-block in very good condition.
