New Mexico Mines and Minerals - Probably our favorite book on Mines and Mining in New Mexico. Originally published in 1904 by Fayette A Jones, not only is this book great from a mining history perspective but also from a geological perspective. The author describes the history of geology in the state and then goes into depth on each mining district not only describing the district but the mines within that district in detail, geology and types of ores, who discovered them, if they changed hands, production, potential and more.
