  • Condition: Both One and Two are bound into a volume containing Volume 79 parts 1, 2, 3 & 4. Dr. Parker's Gold Placers of Colorado are Parts 3 and 4. These are crisp fine. Folded map is in a pocket, unmarked and very good due to being creased. This was in the Marathon Research Center in Colorado which closed many years ago in Littleton, Colorado. These are the Original Copies and CCC, means they cannot be reprinted without permission of the Colorado School of Mines and pay for the right.The scans were not laid flat as they are bound within the volume and I did not want to damage the spine.The Index is from 1958 to 1974 and a great reference for other scarce papers from CSM.
