State Mineralogist Reports
These are the Placer County gold mines for the period between 1888 and
1927. These articles were copied from “Reports of the State (California)
Mineralogist”; these are a series of yearly bulletins published from the 1800
and 1900s.
Brief definitions of most of the mining terms used is included as a separate
file. The bulletins were writing by professionals with a geology background so
be ready for geological terms.
I tried to maintain the interesting mining terms, spelling, grammar and
formatting from the past while removing any errors from copying the old
documents and pasting them into modern formats.
