This is the great atlas to accompany Volume III, Mining Industry, from the Survey of the Fortieth Parallel by Clarence King. This volume set a standard few could ever match. The oversize folio, 19 x 25", has a series of color lithos of long and cross sections of the Comstock Lode. It marked the first time any geologist or surveyor tried to link the mines of this or any mining district of this scale. It showed the advanced interpretations of this complex ore deposit at a time when mining geology was in its infancy. green cloth binding, a bit rough in upper left corner, otherwise the usual wear.
