[Identification of item]. John F. Duling Papers, The Huntington Library, San
Marino, California.
Purchased from Spencer Moore, July 31, 1961.
John F. Duling was a licensed mining engineer and surveyor based in Los Angeles,
California.
The collection consists primarily of mining charts, maps, reports, surveys, and
township plats for mines in Arizona, California, Canada, Mexico, Montana, Nevada,
and New Mexico but also contains surveys for real estate developments in southern
California. Additionally, the collection contains photographs of various mines and
mining areas (which are located in the folders for their respective counties), a
number of personal photographs, and various ephemera.
Within each box, the folders are arranged alphabetically by county (or by
neighborhood/area in the case of the California Land Subdivision folders).
Individual mining companies, mining claims, subdivisions, and neighborhoods are
listed on the folders but are not listed in finding aid unless there are multiple
folders for a specific county. Several folders contain state maps or miscellaneous
surveys and engineering drawings that are not particular to specific counties; these
folders are labeled by state and are placed after the specific county folders.
Subject headings were not included in boxes that would have had the same heading for
every folder but were included in boxes with multiple subjects (such as the
California Land Subdivisions boxes).
Arranged in the following manner: Arizona
Mines, California Mines, California Land Subdivisions, Canada and Mexico Mines, and
Montana, Nevada, and New Mexico Mines; Miscellaneous Mining Charts, Surveys, and
Engineering Drawings; Personal Photographs; and Ephemera.
