General Geology And Mines Of The East Tintic Mining District Utah And Juab Counties Utah

A study of the rocks, geologic structures, and mines of a highly productive silver, gold, and base-metal mining district in the east-central Great Basin.

Whether you are a geologist, history buff, or rockhound, this booklet will be a helpful guide to Utah?s mining districts. The booklet is divided up into three parts: the first part provides general information on what a mining district is, how many mining districts are in Utah, types of mineral deposits found at these districts, and landownership issues. The second part includes individual mining-district discussions containing information on location, production, history, geology, mineralogy, and current/future operations. The third part includes a glossary of geologic terms and other useful resources in the appendices, such as a descriptive list of minerals found in the districts, geologic time scale, and a list of mineral resources of the mining districts.

Excerpt from Geology and Ore Deposits of the Tintic Mining District, Utah The field examination was made in the last two summer months of 1911, and the district was revisited for a short time by Mr. Loughlin in 1913 and by both authors in 1914. Mr. Loughlin also assisted in the examination of some of the mines and studied the oxidized zinc ores. The resurvey was confined chie y to the area of the mining district proper (pl. IV, in pocket). Work beyond this area was limited to outlying mining districts and points of Special geologic interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A study of parts of the Tintic and North Tintic mining districts.

Box Elder County displays a variety of lithologic types in each of the major rock divisions: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic, in a typical Basin and Range setting. True to the basic structure most of its mountain ranges generally trend north-south, but the Raft River Range trends east-west. Each mountain range exhibits a variety of structural situations: most stratigraphic units are folded and faulted, and many are intruded by igneous rocks. 251 pages + 3 plates
