Free Detailed Mining Information for Black Canyon Gold Mining in Yavapai County, Arizona

This is a detailed book discussing the locations of all the gold mines in the Black Canyon region of Arizona (Bradshaw Mountains) (circa 1920's). It also discusses how to mine, shows plans for shafts and shoring, rules and regulations of the mining industry in the State of Arizona, filing claims, etc.
I particularly like the maps. Nothing better than an old map of gold mines to spark an interest.
