Engineering and Mining Journal - a technical industry journal, McGraw-Hill Publishing, New York.
Magazine format, 11x8.5”, heavily illustrated with photos. Page numbering is a bit odd prior to 1938, ask if you have questions. Leading and trailing pages are wonderful ads. These early issues are a joy to page through, especially the ads! Many of the ads show equipment in place and miners at work, so these are like the best history books.

* * * I have generally listed mostly articles that pertain to a specific area, but there are other technical articles as well, plus shorter pieces like news, obituaries, letters. Covers lightly rubbed, spine covering a bit rough, inside VG.
