Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
71,[1]pp. plus twenty-four double-sided halftone illustrated plates and two large folding maps. Original printed brown wrappers, stamped in orange and dark brown. Minor wear to wrappers. Tears in map expertly repaired. Very good. A promotional publication whose text primarily reprints a column entitled THE OZARK UPLIFT (a reference to the geology of the region) that appeared in the ST. LOUIS DAILY GLOBE-DEMOCRAT in September and October of 1899, and contains much information on zinc and lead mining activities. The folding frontispiece includes four maps, showing the Joplin Lead and Zinc District; Christian, Douglas, Stone, Taney and Ozark counties; Aurora, Mo.; and the mining district of Boone, Marion, Newton and Searcy counties in Northern Arkansas. It also includes an advertisement announcing 75,000 acres of land for sale in Missouri and Arkansas which states "in presenting these four maps, embodying that number of mineral districts most conveniently reached via the Frisco Line, an attempt has been made to designate, as clearly as the space will permit, the difference water courses, mining properties, transportation facilities and other information to the intending miner or investor." The second map shows the St. Louis & San Francisco rail lines in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The photographic plates are a mixture of full- page, half-page, third-page, and photocollages of the mines and mining locations in Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas. A scarce western promotional work focused on mining along the Frisco Line. OCLC 12293513. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM55743
