Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preliminary Report on the Building Stones of Nevada, Including a Brief Chapter on Road Metal The nature of this subject is more complex than appears on casual inspection. Fundamental principles of three separate sciences all play an essential part; the subject is built upon geol ogy, physics and chemistry. The practical man may believe that he has no time for such considerations, yet the simplest rule of thumb method, if it be right, is founded upon true scientific prin ciples. No man in this advancing age of competition can afford to be ignorant of those things which vitally concern him and his business. Every citizen, directly or indirectly, is concerned with the erection of public buildings, private buildings, and county and city highways. Hampered by lack of facilities for detailed work, a full report on the subject is impossible for some time, yet the time is ripe for a little knowledge to be distributed about these matters. The chief uses of rock are as follows, in order of their rel ative importance. First, the largest amount of stone is used in the construction of buildings, under conditions already mentioned. Second, much of the finest grade of stone is used for monument al and ornamental work. It is not right; nor is it necessary, that nearly.all atom rocks for such uses come from outside localities. T hird, the importance of crushed rock for the construction of roads is well known. Fourth, in the larger towns and cities, stone curbing is imperative on the graded streets. Fifth, the use of cut stone for bridges and culverts, especially by the railroads, is grow ing constantly. Sixth, much cut rock is used for sidewalks and by the railroads. Sixth, much cut rock is used for sidewalks and tiling in the most approved buildings. Besides these. There are many lesser uses, such as the construction of piers, break-waters, dams, retaining walls with such small uses as hitching posts, steps, mounting blocks, and the like. And it is worth noting that this list is constantly increasing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
