Publication: Henry Altemus, 1897, Philadelphia
First edition. 12mo. Original red cloth, titles stamped in gilt on the front cover and spine, 213 pp., [blank], 15 pp. of a listing of Henry Altemus publications, introduction, frontispiece (folding map of the Gold Region showing the route to the diggings), illustrated with 13 photographic plates and 1 map of Alaska. Arctic Bibliography 3404 says "Guide to the country and mining methods, with notes on the boundary dispute and the mining laws." Gilt lettering on the covers has oxidized a bit, minor foxing to the front and rear endpapers, else a very good internally clean copy of an elusive title.
