  • Condition: Good condition, with only some edge and corner bumping and wrinkling. The one you will receive is better than the pictured one - I just didn't update the photo. Binding is tight and pages and maps are clean and unmarked. A great example of this old report.

    Description

    SCARCE OLD REPORT!!  FAST SELLER WHEN I CAN GET ONE!!
    This is USGS Bulletin 1131,
    Geology and Mineral Deposits of the Turtle Lake Quadrangle, Washington
    . Published in 1963, there can't be many of these around. It consists of a 73-page book AND ALL SIX OF THE ORIGINAL MAPS. One of the maps is a large full color map. The area of this study covers parts of Stevens and Lincoln counties.
    Some of the maps are of specific mine workings. One shows underground workings! You know those beautifully fluorescent meta-autunite crystals from Washington? But there were not just uranium mines in the area.
    There were also tungsten, copper, barite, lead-zinc, molybdenum, and coal mines and prospects
    , which are also detailed within the book. This publication covers the complete geologic setting of the area.
    There are a whole bunch of minerals in this area, including:
    Meta-autunite
    Native Silver
    Molybdenite
    Uranophane
    Phosphuranylite
    Sklodowskite(?)
    Liebigite
    Uraninite
    Coffinite
    Pyrite
    Marcasite
    Metatorbernite
    Quartz
    Chalcopyrite
    Bornite
    Malachite
    Tenorite
    Tremolite
    Fluorite
    Sphalerite
    Jamesonite
    Arsenopyrite
    Galena
    Calcite
    Barite
    Pyrargyrite
    Scheelite
    Magnetite
    Bismuthinite
    Muscovite
    Numerous mines and prospects are described in the book and located on the map. They include:
    Midnight mine
    Northwest Uranium mine
    Big Smoke mine
    Lowley Lease
    Deer Mountain Prospect
    O-Lo-Lim mine
    Spokane Molybdenum mine
    Orazada mine

    Matherly prospect
    Turtle Lake prospect
    Germania Consolidated mine
    Silica deposit
    Barite prospect
    Coal prospect
    This is a scarce and desirable publication on an interesting and diverse area, and it is complete and in great condition. This would make an excellent guide book for mineral collecting in this area, or an invaluable resource for the historian or geologist.
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
