Summary "Old Mines of Southern California" by William H. Storms and Harold W. Fairbanks is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the mining landscape and geological features of Southern California, particularly examining various mines and their mineral outputs. It provides detailed insights into the mining industry, geological formations, and specific mines that have both historical and prospective significance in the region. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the mining landscape of Los Angeles County, highlighting the Kelsey Mine as a key focus due to its rich silver ore production. It describes the intricate geological characteristics of the area, including the types of rocks present and the processes that led to the formation of mineral veins. Furthermore, it touches on other mines in the vicinity, discusses their management, and details failed ventures like the Lordsburg stampede. This section sets the stage for a detailed exploration of both the human endeavors in mining and the geological underpinnings that make such activities possible.
