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.
