Mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining work in this important re-issue of "Some Mining Districts of Eastern Oregon." Unavailable since 1933 and released as USGS Bulletin 846-A, this publication offers rare insights into some of the famous gold mining areas of Eastern Oregon. Included in this publication are important facts about the mines of such mining districts as Mormon Basin, Connor Creek, Gold Hill, Sparta, East Eagle, Sanger, Virtue, Baker, Quartzburg, Susanville and the Ochoco Mining Districts. Included are descriptions of dozens of gold mines, their locations, how they were established and how they operated. Lavishly illustrated with hard to find mine maps.
