Book excerpt: Excerpt from What's Mine's Mine, Vol. 2 of 3 There was once a woman whose husband was well to do, but he died and left her, and then she sank into poverty. She did her best; but she had a large family, and work was hard to find, and hard to do when it was found, and hardly paid when it was done. Only hearts of grace can understand the struggles of the poor - with everything but God against them! But She trusted in God, and said whatever he pleased must be right, whether he sent it with his own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mine Rescue Work and Organization In commending this book to both learners and learned in what is called Mine "Rescue" work as a ready means of reference to the general state of knowledge of the subject, I would like to take the opportunity of impressing on all concerned, how important it still remains that all the ordinary means of seeking access to and exploring a mine after any accident, or in case of need, should be intelligently used and exhausted before any call is made upon such jeopardous appliances as breathing dresses in poisonous gases. There is no better method, for instance, of recovering a mine after an explosion than the old-fashioned way of taking in fresh breathable air, carefully tested by the small bird and safety lamp, and resort should only be made to the breathing dress, worn by an expert, when a well-defined purpose appears which can be described in terms of locality and distance. It should be as rare that men should be required to dive into bad air in a breathing dress, as it is to dive into water in a similar appliance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camerton Slope: A Story of Mining Life HE writer of the following pages was reared in a mining community, and at an early age entered the mines as a driver. What is re corded in these chapters may serve as the token of his abiding sympathy and true, brotherly feeling for all who toil in any capacity in the darkness and danger of underground life. After a somewhat extended acquaintance with men in various departments of life and labor, the author wishes here to record the fact that he has found no more genial and lasting friendships, no truer, sturdier types of manhood, no loftier ideals of pure Christian character, than among his chums and associates of auld lang syne.

Book Synopsis The Mine, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by : Charles Howard Shinn
Download or read book The Mine, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) written by Charles Howard Shinn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mine, Vol. 2 There is a very strong reason in the nature of mines and miners for many of the delays in properly defin ing a claim. Every part of a ledge is not equally rich. Ore occurs in seams, chimneys, or chutes, and as soon as a man struck it rich his first thought was usually to explore it until he could select and stake out the best three hundred feet. Nearly all of the early locators on the Comstock were trying to get the richest slice in the lode, and they kept away from the recorder's office; or if they entered a claim, they took care to leave it in such shape that it could be altered, like some of the Spanish land grants of California that were floated ten or fifteen miles, much to the subsequent profit of attorneys. Even when the metes and bounds were well defined the guileless miners could not always be de pended upon to leave them so. One of the pioneers mentions a mining suit in which the matter hinged upon the location of a stump that marked the corner. Judge and jury adjourned and went to look at the stump. It had been dug up bodily during the night and carried off, and the ground was so levelled that not the slightest clew remained. Each side accused the other, and the case was never decided. All the American mining camps have maintained in the case of quartz ledges the right to an inclined location - that is, the right to take a claim of definite size and follow it downward at any angle or angles, taking all the ore in the vein and in its legitimate branches. A miner, according to this idea, takes up a piece of ground simply for the lode, and goes wherever it goes. Spanish mining law, on the contrary, recog nises only the square location. According to the Span ish plan, as soon as a ledge passes beyond the boundary of a square piece of ground of given size it belongs to the man in whose tract it lies. One can easily see that the Spanish system must prevent much trouble and render the single-vein problem immaterial. In fact, it rules out of court nine tenths of all the cases that lead to lawsuits. Matters rapidly went from bad to worse on the Comstock until the most casual oh server would have seen a wild Walpurgis-night revel of conflicting claims of every Size, shape, and age tum bling over each other three and four deep. It is hardly surprising, for the Comstock was not the only vein on the side of Mount Davidson, nor even the most prominent one. The Virginia lode was nearly parallel, and other veins, too' many to name and hardly worth while digging up from the dust of forgotten records.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Mining Details (Classic Reprint) by : Engineering and Mining Journal
Download or read book Handbook of Mining Details (Classic Reprint) written by Engineering and Mining Journal and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Mining Details This book is a collection of articles that have appeared in the Engineering and Mining Journal during the last two or three years under the general head of "Details of Practical Mining," a department of the Journal that has been appreciated highly by its readers, many of whom have expressed the wish that a collection in book form be made, which has now been done. In the editing of this volume, the work has been chiefly in the selection of the material and its arrangement in chapters. Now and then it has been possible to excise some paragraphs as being unessential and occasionally the phraseology of some articles has been altered a little, the requirements of preparation for the original weekly publication not always having permitted leisurely consideration, but in the main the articles now presented in this book are as they were given in the pages of the Engineering and Mining Journal. However, it has been necessary in a few cases to reduce the size of the engravings. In making this collection the limitation of space necessitated the rejection of all material that did not pertain to the subjects selected for the chapters of the book, and even so it was necessary to dismiss some of the longer articles pertaining to them, which approached the character, of essays rather than being the description and discussion of details. Of course a wealth of contributions pertaining to the arts of ore dressing and metallurgy had to be rejected summarily. The compilation covers the publications in the Engineering and Mining Journal from Aug. 7, 1909, to July 1, 1912. If all of the material that appeared in this department of the Journal during that period of three years had been used it would have been necessary to make a book of several times the size of this. No claim is made that this book is a treatise, exhausting its subject, or any part of it. It is simply a handbook that is a more or less random collection of useful information, being just what passes through the pages of the Engineering and Mining Journal in the course of a few years. No special attempt to round out any subject has been made. Yet it will be found that some subjects are fully treated. With regard to the authority of what is to be found in these pages: The matter in the main is merely descriptive of what is done. Nevertheless, there is frequently the injection of opinion and advice. A great technical journal is directed by its editor and is shaped by its editorial staff, but it is essentially the product of its contributors. It is a co-operative institution and its pages are a symposium of the experiences and views of many professional men.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True History of the Emma Mine As, in the narrative I wish to place before my readers, I desire to be accurate in my facts, and perfectly candid and Straight forward in all my statements, I will premise by saying who I am, and why I have written this history. I am a man of but moderate means, am in the employ of a large public company, and I am certainly not a speculator in the ordinary sense of the term; for, until I made this Emma investment, I had never touched a share either in a mining or any other joint stock speculation. In November, 1871, I had a little money to spare; and seeing a notice of the Emma Company in the press, I Obtained a Prospectus, and became strongly impressed with the statements in it, vouched for as they were by the names of such men Of high standing, and especially with that of General Schenck, the United States Minister. Being desirous of adding to my income in a legitimate way, I took such shares as were within my means, as a bond fide investor.

Download or read book Mining written by Arnold Lupton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mining: An Elementary Treatise on the Getting of Minerals This treatise is prepared exclusively for the use of beginners and for those who wish to teach beginners, or as a handy reference-book for busy men whose excess of knowledge and experience causes them sometimes to forget their early lessons. Still, the author must appeal to the good-natured forbearance of the reader, on account of the many shortcomings and imperfections of this little work. He has found great difficulty in compressing into the space at his disposal even the briefest reference to many subjects which have to be noticed in an elementary treatise on Practical Mining. He has also found it hard, in the midst of his practical engagements, to find time for any literary work. He would like, however, to assure the reader that he has not ventured into print without endeavouring, so far as it was possible to him by labour and study, to prepare himself for the task. In his thirty-three years' experience in practical mining, he has been officially connected with mines as consulting mining engineer, colliery manager, and surveyor in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, South Wales, North Wales, and Staffordshire. He has also from time to time inspected mines in Lancashire, Durham, Northumberland, Devon, Anglesea, and Scotland; and has visited many mines abroad in France, Germany, Austria, and in the United States of America. He is not only acquainted with coal-mines, but has experience of mines of clay, stone, iron, lead, zinc, copper, tin, gold, silver, and slate. For the last twenty-three years he has been responsible manager of coal-mines, and for the last eighteen years instructor and professor at the Yorkshire College. He has had charge of various sinking operations, and has made the working drawings for most kinds of plant and machinery required at a colliery; and has had to fix the price of all kinds of labour at collieries. He has also worked as a miner both at coal-getting and sinking. This has enabled him the more highly to appreciate the labours and writings of other engineers, to whose instruction he owes most of the information contained in this book.

This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of American Mining Law This latest work on American mining law, by Mr. Ricketts, brings everything on the subject up to date, as to State and Federal legislation, the decisions of the courts, and the rulings of the Departments. On reading the advance sheets one is at once struck by the conciseness in which the facts are presented. There has been no attempt whatever toward elaboration or argument. The author gives what he considers the proper construction of the law and in each case cites the authorities. There is there fore nothing to confuse the layman, while at the same time the book is of great value for reference to those of the legal profession. Under each general heading are numbered and titled paragraphs, exceedingly brief but showing the authority and its source. No arrangement could well be handier for reference to the prospector, miner, mine manager or lawyer. It is to be noted that both the first book on American mining law and the latest one on the same subject are by Californian authors, practicing attorneys in the city of San Francisco, where both books were published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heat of the Comstock Mines Fortunately for the purposes of this survey, Captain T. G. Taylor, superintendent of the Yellow Jacket mine, has caused observations to be taken for several months on the temperature of the air current in different parts of that mine. By noting the increase of heat and the amount of air flowing through the drifts, I have been able to obtain an approximate estimate of the amount of heat drawn from the rock surfaces. It is approximate only, because the records of surface temperatures for several months were accidentally destroyed, and I was compelled to replace them from the careful records taken by Mr. B. Gilman, of the Chollar Potosi mine, which is in Virginia, and has a higher position and a different exposure from the Yellow Jacket. The present calculations are presented merely to show that these observations contain trustworthy evidence that the heat taken up by the air cannot be derived from deep sources, by transmission through the rocks, nor from a magazine of heat lying dormant in the strata.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miners the Eight Hours Movement It is seldom that a Conference is held on which so much of really national importance hinges, as the representative assembly of Colliery Proprietors and Miners' Agents who met in London Jan. 21, to consider the proposal made by the men for an eight hours working day in mines. The proceedings were private, and the only knowledge furnished through the press is that the Conference was adjourned till February 11th. The question being one which affects the welfare of the public, it will be well to state not only what the proposal is, but to shew what the effect will be if it becomes law, and also to present the arguments for and against. It must be remembered that the proposal does not mean forty-eight working hours each week, but simply a maximum of eight hours in any one day. I venture to write upon the measure having been directly associated with mining operations an my daily life, and having been identified with large numbers of the more intelligent of the working miners during a 23 years evening lectureship at our School of Mines in the Mining County of Lancashire.
