Mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining work by the USGS in this important re-issue of The Mineral Resources of South West Oregon by J.S. Diller. Unavailable since 1914, this publication includes important insights into dozens of mines that once operated in South West Oregon, including the famous gold fields of Josephine and Jackson Counties, as well as the Coal Mines of Coos County. Included are not only geological details on early mines throughout South West Oregon, but also insights into their history, production and locations.
