Deposits of copper and lead ores in the foothills of Mogol-tau and Kara-Mazar in Turkestan

Abstract

In the spring and summer of 1910, on behalf of the Syr-Darya Mining Society, I had to examine the applications and allotments leased by the said company from N.S. Nazarov and located north of the city of Khodzhent within the Khodzhent district. Most of the applications and allotments lie in the foothills of Kara-Mazar ("Black Grave"), the most southwestern spur of the Ala-Tau ridges. Two branches are located in the northwestern foothills of the Mogol-Tau, a separate massif rising on the right bank of the Syr Darya River southwest of the Kara-Mazar mountains.
