Book Description
Excerpt from Epitome of the Economic Geology of New Mexico In presenting this Epitome of the Economic Geology of New Mexico, it is to be hoped that what is herein offered may be conducive to a more intelligent understanding and appreciation of the dormant mineralogical resources of a commonwealth of which, comparatively speaking, but little is known. Historically, New Mexico is the oldest and most widely known of any section in the United States; commercially, its importance is yet but meagerly comprehended. Although New Mexico is the cradle of the mining industry in the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Slope regions, peculiar political conditions have materially retarded its development. The fact, however should not be overlooked that the initial impulse received in the development of the Great West was due to the discovery of gold in Santa Fe County at the base of the Ortiz Mountains, in the year 1828. This discovery was made twenty years before the great gold excitement at Coloma in California and thirty years before the find on Cherry Creek in Colorado. The discovery of placer gold in New Mexico marks the beginning of modern American methods that have so effectually revolutionized every phase in the art of mining and in the science of metallurgy. The evolution of the old wooden bowl, known as the "batea," used in these early diggings, is symbolized in the modern gold pan. Crude designs of the first "rockers" and sluice boxes for washing the auriferous gravels in trans-Mississippi fields, virtually had their inception in this primary gold camp, in Santa Fe County. Among the first stamp mills constructed in the United States may be mentioned the one at Dolores for milling the ores from the celebrated Ortiz mine in Santa Fe County; one at the gold camp of Pinos Altos in Grant County; and one at the Aztec mine at the head of Ute Creek on Baldy Mountain, in Colfax County. The first experiments in ore concentration in the West were conducted by J. Amberg, a German metallurgist at Pinos Altos, in the early sixties of the past century. It should also be noted that the first gold lode or vein discovered and worked west of the Mississippi was made in the year 1833, on the famous Sierra del Oro, constituting what is now known as the Ortiz mine. In the Los Cerrillos district, a few miles west of the Ortiz Mountains, exist what appear to be prehistoric workings on a metalliferous vein of lead and silver, known as Mina del Tierra. This antique working is of unusual interest with incline and nearly vertical shafts connecting and totalling, perhaps, over two hundred feet of work, including drifts and slopes.

Book Description
Excerpt from Papers on the Geology of New Mexico, With Plates IX-XII, And, the Geology of the San Pedro and the Albuquerque Districts, With Plate XIII Seen from the south, our volcano appears as a broad-based cone from which skeleton ridges extend to the north-west and south. The entire eastern base is composed of the acid series just described, most characteristic being the red coarse granite with large quartz grains and sparsely and crudely mingled horn blende. Even at a great distance from the south one can de teet the broad light stripe of obliquely tilted limestone where it is exposed by some vast eruptive outburst which not only tore open the very vitals of the mountain but plowed an enormous furrow across the lime and thus made good its escape to the south and east. Little is left to show of this flow but the eroded edge of the lime to the north and the tilted and scattered.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Geology of the Cerrillos Hills, New Mexico Mexico, with the intention that it should appear as a recon naissance report in the bulletins of the Hadley Scientific Labora tories. The work was prompted andsupervised by Dr. C. L. Herrick, then President of the Territorial University at Albu querque, and Director of the Survey. It was found, however, in the course of the brief preliminary investigations then possible, that the field in question presented points worthy of more detailed study than could be given it at that time and permission was granted to withhold the publication of the paper until more satis factory results could be obtained. The work done at that time represented a few brief excursions to the region during the spring and summer of 1899 and 1900, a portion of the chemical work herein recorded. And some preliminary petrographic examinations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
