Abstract of report on Geology and mining industry of Leadville, Lake county, Colorado. By S. F. Emmons. This has been extracted from the Second Annual USGS report for 1881, printed in 1882. 11x8”, Pages 201-290. Contains two stiff color plates in the center, each one covering two full pages : one is a geologic map of Leadville, one has several sections of Leadville geology – they are very nice. This is by no means a short abstract, I think the use of “abstract” refers to a huge monograph on the same subject that came out five years later. Very Good (Nice! Neatly and professionally bound in cardstock, with cloth tape on spine and hinges. Owner's stamps first two pages. Contents all VG). $48
