Washington State Geological Survey: Bulletins (B)

WA B 5 : 1911 : PART I – Geology and ore deposits of the Myers Creek Mining District AND PART II – Geology and ore deposits of the Oroville – Nighthawk mining district. By Joseph B. Umpleby. HARDBACK, 9x6”, 111p., 3 plates, 5 figures. 2 of the plates are small, but nice, fold-out full-color geologic maps. (POOR. Inside is generally VG, but outside has been well chewed by a puppy who was trying to read with his teeth. This means that the spine covering is gone, the spine is rough, especially the lower spine end, and the cover is nearly loose from the page block. Half of the green cloth over the front board has pulled free and is gone). This is a fine reading copy, a good source for plates to frame, or a chance to try book-binding! $5
