Excerpt from Synopsis of a Report on Mining in California and Nevada, U. S. A

As regards the classification of the subjects treated in the present publi cation, the delegate found it necessary, under the altered circumstances of the case, to depart from his original instructions, as the latter were drawn up somewhat ambiguously, and therefore the following course, as more practical, has been adopted, viz. Z - To first describe the geological and mineralogical features of the country, with their metalliferous deposits and lodes; then to investigate and take note of the operations in the latter from their displacement by the miners, by means of various operations and appliances, through their subsequent manipulations to the final resultants of commercially valuable metals and other products, as well as the rejected wastes at the conclusion of the whole process.
