An Abstract Of The Title To The Properties Owned Or Claimed By THE VOLCANO GOLD GRAVEL MINING COMPANY In Township No. Three, Amador County, California Compiled by George I. Wright & Sons and Fontenrose & Fontenrose, Jackson, Amador County, California, March 21, 1907. Hardbound in textured brown cloth two prong binder with red cloth corners, metal clasp, and patterned pastedowns, title handwritten in black and red pen on the front cover, 11.75" x 9", 290 pages of photostatic prints (an early photomechanical process similar to blueprints but printed on a blackground on white paper).
