Leading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic work on Mining in Southern Oregon. First released in 1943 and now out of print, this special reprint edition of “The Origin of the Black Sands of the South West Oregon Coast” was originally published by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. The text features hard to find information on the origin of the gold bearing black sands of the South West Oregon Coast, offering a unique insight to prospectors in search of Oregon's legendary beach gold. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As such, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
