Correspondence and papers, 1870-1907, dealing with Treadwell's interests and activities as a mining engineer and investor in mines, including reports on mines and prospective mining property, one printed in both English and German. Most of the mines are in Arizona and California, with a few in other states such as Utah and Montana, but there are also reports on mines in Canada and Mexico, as well as a prospectus for a company planning to develop mines in Brazil. There are numerous maps of mines and property, and several snapshots of work at a mine in Mexico. There are also assays of ore, and indentures, usually relating to sale of mining property or claims, in addition to miscellaneous clippings, telegrams, receipts, bills of lading, and an illustrated advertisement flyer for machinery. The correspondence includes 190 letters from Treadwell's friend and business associate, Benjamin Silliman, during 1872-1884, about personal and business matters, as well as 24 letters from J.J. Rivers, of the University of California, and 15 letters from Sir John Lubbock, both men thanking Treadwell for specimens of insects, snakes, etc. he had sent them.
