Supplying The Mining World: Mining Equipment Manufacturers of San Francisco, by Lynn R. Bailey. 133 Pages. Softbound. The California Gold Rush drew tens of thousands of men to the Pacific Coast, but California's isolation decreed that San Francisco would become the center for the advancement of mining technology. This book is both the story of the men and companies that made San Francisco a common denominator in the mining industry and a pictorial record of their products. This comprehensive volume is graced with an incomparable collection of line drawings taken from company catalogs, mining publications, patent applications, the pages of the Mining and Scientific Press, and is rivalved by none. Historians, mining buffs, collectors of mining memorabilia, Western enthusiasts, and even the casual reader, are not going to be able to put this page turner down.
