Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comstock Mining and Miners To present these varied themes clearly and fairly in a well-joined narrative has been the aim of the writer. No assertion or statement of fact has been made without the citation of authorities. If, in any case, more positive evidence is desirable, its lack may fairly be attributed to the death of witnesses and the absence or destruction of trustworthy records. Cumulative evidence has only been cited when its support was clearly requisite, but all material obtained has been filed for reference among the manuscript records of the United States Geological Survey. No minute examination has been here essayed of subjects which have been elaborately treated in the complementary reports already published and now in press. For strictly technical discussions of the geology, chemistry, physics, and mechanics of the Lode, reference should be made to the standard treatises of Richthofen, King, Church, and Hague, and to the reports of Professor George F. Becker and W. R. Eckart, C. E., form ing the principal portion of the series of volumes treating of the Comstock Lode as the work was originally planned. It has been judged, however, that the investigation here attempted merits a place in the annals of mining in America, and is fittingly conducted under the direction of the United States Geological Survey.

Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ... covered the roads to the depth of 6 feet, wood was sold for $40' and even $50 per cord,7 and the sufferings of the poor were extreme. The hardy Chinese burrowed under the snow for the roots, which they hawked about the. streets at the rate of $60 per cord, selling their loads as soon as gathered. This rate was of course exceptional, but even in the most favorable seasons the supply could scarcely keep pace with the increasing demand. Timber was in no less urgent request, and the cost of transportation was even greater, as it was cut mainly on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada range. In 1866 it was reported that 200,000 cords of wood were delivered to consumers in the district.

The annual cost of this supply Was computed to be $800,000. 1 Within the city limits similar indications could be noted of a growing reliance upon the stability of the main industry...

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.
