Among the engineering and mining papers in California, none has credit for so large a regular issue as is accorded to the " Mining and Scientific Press," published weekly at San Francisco. In fact, It fully equals five times the combined Issue accorded to all the others, and the publishers of the American Newspaper Directory will guarantee the accuracy of the circulation rating accorded to this paper by a reward of one hundred dollars payable to the first person who successfully assails It.—Printers' Ink, April 22, 1898.
In all the States of the Far West and the Pacific Slope, consisting of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, the largest circulation credited to any publication devoted to engineering and mining is accorded to the "Mining and Scientific Press," a weekly, published at San Francisco, Cal.; and the publishers of the American Newspaper Directory will guarantee the accuracy of the circulation rating accorded to this paper by a reward of one hundred dollars, payable to the first person who successfully assails it.—Printers' Ink, April 29,1896.
