Arizona Lode Gold Mines and Gold Mining was originally published in 1934 by the Arizona Bureau of Mines Bulletin 137 and covers information on most of the known gold mines in the state of Arizona at the time. A little history is given on the types of Gold Deposits that are formed in Arizona and some Arizona gold mining history. The rest of the book is devoted to the various gold districts in the state. Over 40 Mining Districts and 150 various mines are covered in this book not to mention general claims and areas discussed. If you are looking for gold then the best places to look are near where it has been found before and in Arizona this book will tell you where those locations are along with a little history on the production and geology of each mine.

Author and researcher Helen Carlson spent almost fourteen years searching for the origins of Nevada’s place names, using the maps of explorers, miners, government surveyors, and city planners and poring through historical accounts, archival documents, county records, and newspaper files. The result of her labors is Nevada Place Names, a fascinating mixture of history spiced with folklore, legend, and obscure facts. Out of print for some years, the book was reprinted in 1999.
