Excerpt from A Manual of Mining: Based on the Course of Lectures on Mining Delivered at the School of Mines of the State of Colorado
IN the present issue the text has been increased by more than fifty pages in order to introduce additional matter per taining to the design of cars, hoisting appliances, and fans, the added illustrations having been specially prepared with that end in View. At the end of each chapter will be found a list of memoirs which have been carefully selected to com prehend the latest literature on the subject. The original intent to also enter at some length upon a discussion of the applications of electricity to mining was abandoned after a number of fruitless efforts to compress the matter into the. Small compass which it should occupy in a work of this nature.

Excerpt from A Manual of Mining: Based on the Course of Lectures on Mining Delivered at the School of Mines of the State of Colorado
This treatise is an abbreviation of a course of lectures upon mining, delivered at the School of Mines of the State of Colorado, and is issued with the advice of its Board of Trustees, which recognizes the importance of having, within a moderate compass, the best information obtainable upon this subject. In its presentation, the writer has followed what his own experience has taught him to be the natural sequence, and has endeavored to introduce such matter as sixteen years of lecturing and field work have suggested as requisite. Part I contains a brief geological review and a discussion of such points as the engineer must include in his report, i. e., the preparatory and development work, systems of mining and the plant for power, hoisting, pumping, and ventilation. Part II embraces the practice of prospecting, drilling, blasting, shafting, tunnelling, and timbering, in addition to some remarks upon the examination of mines.
The work is designed as an elementary treatise for the use of those desiring a reference-book. The complexity of the subject, its extent, and the variety of machines to be described and represented, demand an elaborate discussion that would fill several quartos. Descriptions of obsolete and expensive systems or machinery arc relegated to the historical works on mining. American and foreign practice is described, and suggestions for lines of future progress are offered herein.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an early 20th-century mining engineering textbook that focuses on gold, silver, and other valuable mineral deposits. The author's goal is to provide a scientific approach to mining, extracting, and analyzing useful ore by teaching how to identify and forecast potential mineral locations. This book covers theoretical aspects with practical applications, such as using geological principles, studying rock formations, and employing the latest machinery in the mining process. It instructs the reader in how to assess mines' economic viability by considering geological variables, subterranean conditions, and other factors that may influence efficiency. Moreover, it includes information on legal issues, such as the U.S. mining laws and how to file claims and secure land rights.
