So I am not currently in Utah and am not able to explore any mines. I know the weather is getting bad as well. But I have a lot of time on my hands and thought that if I can't explore mines I might as well read about them. So I was hoping to get some ideas on some good mining books from the group here. I am open to any kind of mining book really. Anything from mining operations to history to lost treasures. I have read a few books but don;t really know of any good ones and before I waste my money on amazon I thought I would ask the one who knew.

Sierra Madre West (The History of the Mines Below Willard and Ben Lomond Peaks) by Mike & Steve Holmes is very interesting as these mines are not very well know and not very often visited. -
Geology and ore deposits of the Tintic mining district, Utah. Now sold at Amazon.com
There is also a book about the Geology and ore deposits of the Stockton and Fairfied quadrangles, Utah
They can be downloaded off of google books if you don't want to buy them
