Softcover. Condition: Fine. Volume 6, Number 3. Slim octavo. 48pp. Stapled wrappers with a faintly toned spine and tiny bit of soil, just about fine. Laid in in is an 11-page supplement, printing three poems by Yosa Buson (1716-1784), translated by William J. Higginson and Tadashi Kondo. In their afterword, the translators note…that they believe that this is the first appearance in English of two of the poems"Lament for Hokuju R?sen" and "A Lyric of Sluggish River"and that the third, "Spring Breeze Horse Levee Tune," had only appeared "in a muddy translation and confusing layout" in a book then out print. Higginson was a charter member of the Haiku Society of America would later co-author the book *The Haiku Handbook*. Other than (presumably) in Higginson's papers at Columbia, *OCLC* doesn't seem to locate any copies of this periodical.

Original Wrappers. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed by Ginsberg on the title page: "Allen Ginsberg / AH". One of 500 copies. Publisher's tan wrappers, lettered in black. Near fine, with a touch of soiling to front wrapper, and a small closed tear to bottom edge of rear wrapper. Overall,…a lovely signed copy. Celebrated haiku poet William J. Higginson (1938 - 2008) writes of Mostly Sitting Haiku, "This booklet further paves the intersection between the 'mainstream' of contemporary writing and the haiku 'movement' in North America The short poems in this booklet range from purest haiku through wry senryu to several which are simply poems, outside any genre save that of Coleridge's 'the best words in the best order.' They are mostly about sitting, not in the studied attitude of a self-appointed adept, but as a person aware of the twitches and aches that tell him who he is." Some of the poems contained in the volume are "Cabin in the Rockies," "Park Avenue Paterson - 2am," "'The withered purple roses,'" "Land O' Lakes, Wisc. Seminary," and "For Creeley's Ear.". Signed by Author.

With a folding map tipped in at the end. Two copies are offered here. Based on the copy in the California State Library, Kurutz notes that the folding map is a "reproduction of an ornamental map of the United States & Mexico", but these copies show that at least three different maps were used: one has "Map of the Emigrant Road from Independence, Mo. To San Francisco. Part IV", by T.H. Jefferson, no date but 1849; the other has "Map of the Gold Region of California", 1850.

A blotting paper was placed under a leaf, the written letter placed on top of the leaf and water applied with a brush. The three papers were placed in a press and the writing was transferred to the treated page. The Grass Valley Gold Extracting Co. was incorporated in December of 1890 with Capital stock of $200,000. (Sacramento Daily Union, 11 December 1890). It offered "Hydraulic Chlorination" as an efficient method of extracting gold from difficult ores, sands, mud and water. The method had been patented by Scotsman James Holms Pollok of Glasgow, and most of the money for Grass Valley provided by Scottish investors. It had been used successfully in New Zealand and South Africa. The chemistry was tricky the chemist typically had to be well versed in the method. Manager Higginbottom's letterbook begins September 2, 1891; 65 pages out of 695 are used. His correspondence is primarily with backers in Edinburgh. There are long letters, with some drawings, describing the equipment being installed, technological issues, and problems that have arisen. Scattered within are bitter complaints about his employees laziness, incompetence, absence without leave, drunkenness, which are holding up the completion of the infrastructure and keeping potential customers away. Many letters complain about unpaid bills and ask Edinburgh for more money to be telegraphed. Eventually Higginbottom faults his assistant Holms with protecting the guilty employees. He must have known that Holms, born in Glasgow in 1868, and John Holms Pollok, the inventor of this version of the chlorination process, also born in Glasgow in 1868, were probably related. Holms' book begins a bit earlier, August 18, 1891 and covers 235 of 500 available pages. Holms is handling a lot of business with bankers, vendors, and customers, most of the business end of the operation with little about the technological issues. Scattered in are letters to Manager Higginbottom that employees are complaining about Higginbottom's treatment of them and threatening to quit. Eventually many of Holms' letters are to vendors who are wanting to be paid. On September 24, 1892, Holms takes over the Higginbottom book and writes updates for Edinburgh. Higginbottom had either quit or been fired. Both books end on or near February 25, 1892, Holms' letter of February 5th the most revealing "The Editor, Dear Sir, Please be good enough to insert the following advertisement in your paper'For sale. First Class Crushing Plant, Kraus Rolls, Breaker, Screens, Fan, Dynamo, Elevator, etc. Only crushed 50 tons'.". Bound in half red leather and cloth, worn but still soundly bound. The great majority of the letter sheets are Very Good to Fine, and quite legible.
