Articles are accompanied by illustrations. Nearly all of the mining companies have details such as organization, capitalization, property, development, officers, and so on, along with a plat of mining claims.

This copy is missing the original map; however, another original map -- published for William A. Otis & Company -- accompanies this volume. The Otis map, published in May 1896, is five-color, larger than the original Hills' map -- 23 inches wide by 34 inches in length -- and more detailed (showing mining claims, towns, railroads, topography, etc.). Condition of book: very good, with some binding reinforcement; light soiling; some sunning to spine; bumped corners and a bit of cloth fraying. Condition of map: good plus to very good; damp-staining in upper left-hand area of map; weakness in spots; fraying along edges.
