Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Mine Accounting: Methods and Forms Employed by Leading Mining Companies While engaged as accountant with various copper-mining companies in the Lake Superior District, covering a period of twelve years, I was impressed with the fact that the subject of mine accounting was not being given the attention in technical literature that it might well receive, there being to my knowledge only three books published on the subject in the English language, one in this country, one in England and one in Scotland. The result was that I set about the compilation of the material in this volume, which are the practical working systems of companies representative in their particular fields of mining, believing that this treatment of the subject would bo more generally appreciated than a theoretical discussion. I have included in the accounting system of the Ojibway Mining Co. methods for a mill, in order to round out the subject, although this company has not built a mill at the present time. There will no doubt be found errors, both of omission and commission, although I have endeavored to avoid them as much as possible; however, I will be glad to correct in future editions any inaccuracies that are brought to my attention. I wish to acknowledge the many courtesies of my friends who assisted in gathering together and preparing the material in this volume. I am particularly thankful to Mr. E. B. Wilson, editor of "Mines & Minerals," for the use of the articles: "Recording Engineering Data at the Calumet & Arizona Mine," "Recording Engineering Data at the Boston & Montana Con. Mino," and "Recording Geological Data at the Calumet & Arizona Mine"; also to Mr. E. E. Whiteley, Mr. Lee Hayes and Mr. Thorald F. Field, the respective authors of these articles. I am also indebted to Mr. L. E. Camomile, Manager of "Mines & Methods," for the use of the material in the chapter on the methods of the Utah Con. Mining Co., which originally appeared in that journal. In conclusion I commend this volume to the kind consideration of mining men in general and mining accountants in particular, with the hope that it will bo of material benefit to the mining industry of this country.
