"Tonopah, Nevada, lies within the Great Basin region, an immense arid to semiarid area of 400,000 square miles extending between the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains. The environments -- roughly parallel mountain ranges and long desert basins -- makes harsh demands on its inhabitants. This history of Tonopah, which begins with a look at the land and its early inhabitants -- the pre-Archaic and Archaic Indian populations and the Western Shoshone, then vividly describes the arrival of white explorers, the discovery of silver, and the boomtown days of the mining camp....The spirit of the old west, embodied in its inhabitants' sense of adventure and their love of personal freedom, still exists in Tonopah"--Bk. jacket.

Excerpt from Notes on Some Mining Districts in Eastern Nevada Up to 'the year 1908 the work of the Geological Survey in Nevada had consisted of regional geologic reconnaissance, the detailed study of certain important mining districts, and the reconnaissance of a few of the less productive or less active districts, the work last named being incidental to other investigations. During that year a begin ning was made in an effort to obtain some first-hand knowledge of the geologic relations of the ores in Virtually all the mining dis tricts of Nevada. One object of this work was to gather material which might subsequently be used in a general summary report on the geology and ore deposits of the State. Another was to pro cure and disseminate information concerning the less known and to a large extent undeveloped and comparatively inaccessible dis tricts. In pursuance of this plan a number of reconnaissance re ports1 have been published. The present report completes the series.
