    SCARCE AND INTERESTING!!
    This is USGS Bulletin 982-C,
    Limonite Deposits Near Scappoose, Columbia County, Oregon.
    Published in 1953, this is a scarce report on these interesting deposits NW of Portland. This 20-page book comes complete with all five of the  original maps in a pocket in the back of the book. It discusses It discusses interesting iron deposits formed from deeply weathered basalt layers that were later covered over by later basalts. I was surprised such deposits could be given consideration as ores of iron, but they were prospected for just that reason. The maps show the areas of the deposits, and some have multiple small prospect excavations along them. Since the limonite layers are like beds, the outcrop areas tend to ring the hills, much like coal beds would, so the prospects are arrayed along hillsides.
    Deposits discussed include the following:
    Coalport-Charcoal Iron
    Ironcrest
    Ladysmith
    Hill 600
    Bunker Hill
    Alder Creek - Hematite
    These are arrayed in an area generally west  and northwest of Scappoose and St. Helens.
    This is a much more interesting report than I expected. I had no idea about these deposits before reading this. The maps are pretty cool. This might be an interesting area to check out for minerals. A nice, vintage report for local historians, geologists, arm chair geologists, or mineral collectors.
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable. Please read the condition notes.
