I found the data for this book while doing research on old mines for my series of books Mines of the American West. The "lost mines" were identified from articles in early American newspapers, and where possible I have tried to tie them to modern mines or areas. In doing this, some of them seemed to "fall short" in the area of fact and logic. The reader should understand that this is a collection of data from old and new publications and not a focused specifically on the effort to find the properties. If the reader can glean critical information from these original articles that allows him or her to locate a "lost mine" or "lost treasure", I wish him or her well and leave it to them to reap the rewards.The print version of this book has been produced in the 8�" X 11" format to keep the price low. If done in 6" X 9" or smaller, the book could have to cost a few dollars more to cover the increased "on demand" print costs, which seems to be heavily influenced by the total number of pages.
