well as details of the mineral makeup of the area; ‘high-
grading’; Unions; how ore is crushed; equipment used in
mining; transportation and road repairs; Gambling,
Squandered Riches, legalized robbery, assay values,
milling costs (including electricity and water); and Physical
descriptions of the area at that time. There are photos
and sketches that were included in the original
publication as well as additional photos and information

What started out several years ago as research for a book
on Goldfield, Nevada turned into a collection of the
publication Mining and Scientific Press. As we did the
research, we found information covering many other
subjects that captured our interest. We started our
collection of back issues but would sometimes have to
borrow from other sources to complete a project. We
found that issues varied widely in price and availability. We
then determined that there might be others interested in
the publications and that instead of scanning or copying
the documents only for ourselves, we could scan them and
make them available for other researchers. Each CD
contains one year’s worth of scanned images of the original
publications with all images, text and advertisements intact.
Each weekly edition has been reproduced in its entirety as
received, and in some cases shows where damage might
have taken place to the original material over the last 100
to 140 years since they were first issued. We have
compiled these records from a variety of sources by
making arrangements to borrow from other collections
those issues or pages which were not in our personal
library of back issues. There are missing pages and in
some cases, missing weeks but the lost material is
indicated on the information document of every CD. As we
are able to gain access to lost or currently unavailable
data, we will update the CD. If you have copies of missing
or damaged pages or issues, please contact our web site
at Classicnevada.com and we may be able come to an
arrangement.
These documents were individually scanned at high
resolutions using the latest technology in order to make
them readily available to the researcher. You don’t have to
dig in dusty antique stores or use gloves in a historical
library to touch them. You don’t need to pay $2 (or more)
a page to make poor resolution copies (been there, done
that). You don’t even need a microfiche reader to access
them, just your computer with a way to view JPEG images.
(The program is already installed on most computers!)
CDs can be ordered individually or as a set where
indicated. More years will be added as the necessary
collecting, sorting, scanning and editing are finished.
These CDs are full of interesting and entertaining
information about the latest discoveries, current ideas and
important issues of the day. They are an important
resource for people interested in researching older
scientific methods, genealogical background, mining camps
and rushes as well as the important people of the day.
This project is ongoing and has taken a great many hours
to complete and a great deal of time and money to find,
buy, borrow, and ship the material in order to produce
these CDs. While the information on these CDs is no
longer under copyright, these newly produced images are!
This means that while you can use the material, images
and information to your hearts content (NO PLAGiERIZING
PLEASE!) please don’t make copies of this disk to pass
around. Also you will need permission from ClassicNevada.
com in order to use them for other than personal research.

This newly published book, “Quicksilver Key” will show you
a new view of the Ancient Past and explain how some past
“miracles” actually came about. These insights will have
the scholarly world trembling within their ivy-covered walls
as these eulogists see their foundations dismantled, brick
by brick.
Over 180 pages of insight and information includes how
the Quicksilver Key dates 2 ancient manuscripts to over
12,000 YEARS AGO! And hidden in those texts are Star
Charts that prove they were written 120 centuries ago with
the same system that NASA uses in its computers TODAY!
Howard West is a renaissance man after the order of
Henrich Schliemann. West has studied most of the

mysteries of the Ancients. He has appeared on Coast to
Coast AM with George Noory and has some very
interesting information to share.
