        Mines Of Death Valley
        by L. Burr Beldon
        Soft cover, 8.5" x 5.5", 68 pages, copyright 1966.
        Mines Of Death Valley presents the story of fabulous mining booms, of the men who braved the hot wastes to find gold and silver bonanzas from 1849 to World War II, and informal record that proves the truth is a far better story than the numerous 'fakes' written about this region.
        Here also are reasoned, researched accounts of the famous 'Lost Gunsight' and 'Lost Breyfogle' together with an explanation of the 'Lost Mormon Diggins'. Since the early 1920s author L. Burr Belden has sought out and interviewed these bonanza finders and has been proud to name them as friends. Now he shares their confidences with you who read this book.
        Contents include: Introduction - it started in 1849, Salt Spring - the first mine, The Gunsight - and gunsighters, Panamint - senators rescue bandits, Breyfogle - Indian captive, Chloride Cliff - the first road, Wingate Pass - Scotty fools them all, Greenwater - and Diamond Lil, Bullfrog - Shorty liked to talk, Skidoo - he was hanged twice, Ashford Mill - the fort, Jean Le Moigne - and his bank, Hanaupah - the burro wore a bathrobe, Aguereberry - and Harrisburg, Greater View - wooden leg monument, Later Days - talc, lead, Epsom salts, Suggested Reading and an Index.

          Mines Of Julian
          by Helen Ellsberg
          Soft cover, 8.5" x 5.5", 72 pages, copyright 1972.
          Twenty years after the better known gold rush to the Mother Lode Country, miners looking for a new bonanza combed the foothill regions of Southern California, but the discovery-find was made by a farmer, Fred Coleman of Volcan Mountain.
          Julian had its share of amazing strikes, costly court battles, water in the mines and watered stocks, but it is reported to have produced some seven million dollars of bullion, though no loyal son of Julian will settle for such a paltry sum. With the passing of the years and the closing of the mines, Julian became known as a land of tasty apples and other fruit, then in more recent times as a refuge for those who long to be away from the bustle of a big city.
          Author Helen Ellsberg, who has a remarkable ability to glean information from those old-timers who still live nearby, tells of the facts and the lore of those bygone mining days. But she is just as successful in digging into the old records and newspapers for the figures and data to verify the stories. These she has skillfully blended into her story, Mines of Julian, in a way that all will enjoy and appreciate.
          Contents include: Introduction, Geology, Early History, Cuyamaca Land Grant Battle, The Way It Was In The Boom Days, The Mines - The Washington - The Owens - The Warlock - Eagle - High Peak Mines, The Stonewall - The Helvetia - The Ready Relief - Banner - The Golden Chariot - The Gold King & The Gold Queen - The Ranchito, Transportation, Miner's Ingenuity, Melting Post, References and Index.

            Mines Of The Eastern Sierra
            by Mary DeDecker
            Soft cover, 8.5" x 5.5", 72 pages, copyright 1966.
            Mines Of The Eastern Sierra tells the story of those mines located on the eastern slope of the great Sierra Nevada and in the arid stretches of the Inyo Mountains. After the first frenetic rush of '49 played out, miners drifted back of the crest to look at the county that they had blindly scrambled over. So in 1857, the mining activity of the eastern Sierra started, to continue until the present day.
            Included are stories of the mystery mines, such as the Lost Gunsight, over toward Death Valley, and of the Lost Cement Mine of the Mammoth Lake region. Directions are clearly given, to allow the present-day prospector of the history lode to locate these century-old mines. Included are photos, sketches and maps, both of this day and those made my engineers and miners a hundred years ago.
            Contents include: Introduction, Dogtown & Monoville, Homer District, Tioga, Prescott, Benton (blind Springs, White Peak, Indian & Clover Patch Districts), Cos, Russ & Inyo Districts, Beveridge, Kearsarge, Cerro Gordo, References and Index.

              Mines Of The High Desert
              by Roland Dean Miller
              Soft cover, 8.5" x 5.5", 72 pages, copyright 1968.
              After the first bloom of the Gold Rush of the Mother Lode, the miners spread out over the rest of the state, looking for other untouched lodes. By 1873 claims were filed near the Oasis of Twentynine Palms. Soon a boom was in full swing at the Palms Mining District. A decade later the larger deposits of the Dale District were discovered some twenty miles to the east. Here were born, lived and died the three camps, 'Old Dale', 'New Dale' and 'Virginia Dale'.
              Author Ron Miller lived in this area and knew both the countryside of the High Desert and the men who were responsible for the location and the development of the Mines of the High Desert. Mines Of The High Desert tells stories that have never before been given to the lovers of desert lore. Included are many early as well as contemporary photographs of these early mines. The author has enlarged and supplemented his justly popular first edition. Here are also the mines of the Space Age, the ores needed to alloy steel, as well as the 'rare-earths' that supply the brilliant tints and hues of color television.
              Contents include: Beginnings, Early Activity, Virginia Dale, United Greenwater, People Of The Town, Eastern Mines - Map of the High Desert, Desert Freighting, The McHaney Gang, Other Mines, Mine Closures, After Gold, Desert Driving, Reference and Index.

                Mines Of The Mojave
                by Ron and Peggy Miller
                Soft cover, 8.5" x 5.5", 72 pages, copyright 1976.
                Mines Of The Mojave covers the numerous mining districts running across the upper Mojave Desert from Tropico, west of the town of Mojave, to Mountain Pass, a little west of the Nevada border. Except for those of Calico and Randsburg, most of these mines are little known, yet provide interesting jaunts for the visitor who does not wish to drive too far from the metropolitan centers. Many others may be reached by a short side trip from the Los Angeles-Las Vegas highway.
                There include in addition to the old gold and silver mines, the now very important 'non-metallics' such as borax, talc, soda-ash and the TV-fluors of the Mountain Pass region. Contents include: Introduction, Mojave-Rosamond, El Paso-Randsburg, Burro Schmidt's Tunnel, Searles Lake-Panamint Valley, Barstow-Calico, Oro Grande-Victor Valley, Kramer-Boron, Newberry-Rodman Mtns., Amargosa-Silver Lake, Providence Mtns.-Lanfair Valley, Clark-Mescal, Misplaced Mines, References and Index.

                  Mines Of The San Bernardinos
                  by John W. Robinson
                  Soft cover, 8.5" x 5.5", 72 pages, copyright 1977.
                  When we think of the San Bernardino mountainside, most of us think of Arrowhead and Big Bear lakes, of the Rim of the World Highway and the ski resorts. Little do we know that just off the highway lie remains of a gold rush that started shortly after the famous rush of the '49ers in northern California. It was in 1860 that 'Uncle Billy' Holcomb wandered over a ridge to start the largest gold rush in the southern regions of the Golden State, a rush that is still celebrated by a festival each year at Big Bear.
                  In Mines Of The San Bernardinos author John Robinson tells of this and the many other strikes that led to the opening of this high wooded area. Here are stories of Uncle Billy, as well as the more recent ones of such as Lucky Baldwin's, who built large gold mills at Doble, the remains of which are still to be seen above the shore of the lake that now bears his name.
                  Contents include: Author's Note, Introduction, Bear Valley, Billy Holcomb's Discovery, Holcomb Valley - Boom Days, Holcomb Valley - Middle Years, Holcomb Valley - Later Years, Gold Mountain, Cushenbury City, Lone Valley, Rattlesnake Canyon, Rose Mine, Tip Top Mines, Blackhawk Canyon, Coxey Meadow Country, Onyx Mine, Legends & Yarns, Appendix - Bylaws of Holcomb District, Gold Fever Trail, References and Index.

                    Mines Of The San Gabriels
                    by John W. Robinson
                    Soft cover, 8.5" x 5.5", 72 pages, copyright 1973.
                    When one thinks of gold mining such places as the Mother Lode and Death Valley come to mind. Yet in the San Gabriel Range, located just to the northeast of the city of Los Angeles, occurred the first recorded gold strike in the state of California, four years before John Marshall found nuggets in the millrace at Coloma in northern California. Even today, Los Angeles County ranks among the top gold producers in the state, all of which comes from the San Gabriel.
                    Many of these old mines, such as the Red Rover and the Governor, are within sight of our freeways. Others may be reached by short walks or hikes, such as Placerita Canyon and the Big Horn. In Mines Of The San Gabriels author John Robinson describes the various districts, such as the San Fernando and the Santa Anita placers, the gold mines of the Soledad region and Lytle Creek, as well as the lode mines on the upper San Gabriel River and on the slopes of Mt. Baldy.
                    While gold mining is no longer one of Los Angeles' major industries, many still putter around these gold-bearing rivers, doing "recreational mining," while many others just like to explore the ruins and traces of those olden days. Contents include: Introduction, San Fernando Placers, Soledad Mines, Bib and Little Pasadena, Santa Anita Placers, San Gabriel River, Big Horn et al, Baldy Mines, Lytle Creek, Bibliography and Index.
