Abstract
AMONG the numerous mineral treasures of California none are of more interest than the deposits of mercury ore which occur at intervals along the greater part of the Coast Range from the Mexican boundary to Clear Lake, in lat. 39° N., a distance of more than 200 miles. This region, together with the district of Steamboat Springs in Nevada, has been carefully examined by the division of the United States Geological Survey under the charge of Mr. G. F. Becker, and the results are now presented in another of the handsome quarto series of monographs published by Major Powell, the head of the Survey.
Geology of the Quicksilver Deposits of the Pacific Slope.
By G. F. Becker. Pp. 486, and Atlas of xiv. folio Plates. (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1888.)
