Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fires in Lake Superior Iron Mines Many mine fires have occurred on the Lake Superior iron ranges during the past 25 years. Some of them have resulted in serious loss of life and property. Certain operators, especially those who have experienced losses, realize the danger of underground fires and have adopted preventive and protective measures. There are others, how ever, who have not given the matter much thought, or who do not appreciate the necessity of special precautions for protecting their mines against fire. This feeling of safety is caused by the fact that many of the mines have had no fires during periods of 20 to 30 years. The purpose of this paper is to awaken the operator to the ever present danger of fire underground. Most of the suggestions regard ing prevention and protection are old and well known, and although some of them are at present in use, there are still a great number of mines provided with little or no protection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Great Minnesota Forest Fires: Sandstone, Mission Creek, Hinckley, Pokegama, Skunk LakeIN launching this little volume upon the turbulent sea of an existence which may or may not prove altogether satisfac tory, the author feels called upon to state that in this work it is not his aim or desire to make an'especially interesting and readable volume, but more' particularly to chronicle a few facts in as terse a manner as may be relativeto, he thinks without exception, the most horrible calamity which has befallen any portion of the human race in modern times. He desires that what facts be here presents may be absolutely authentic in every detail, and his purpose in giving this work to the public is to place in a concise and readable form a full account of the fire in its awful voracity together with a description of the country over which it passed, and enough personal experiences to give the reader some small idea of the excruciating suffering of the survivors. Also thc efforts of a, generous people to alleviate their suffering, aswell as the heroic efl'orts of those upon whose courage and strength of character rested the lives of many hundred human beings. Pen cannot picture and tongue cannot tell the whole story. Young men will grow gray and their children gray and still history will hold no parallel to the Hinckley Forest Fires. The Johnstown Tragedy, so-called pales into insignificance beside it, as to the area affected and the amount of property destroyed, if not as. To loss of life; and let us hope and pray that from this time on we may be de livered from so terrible an ordeal as has just been undergone by the good people of Kanabec, Pine and Aitkin Counties in Minnesota and Douglas, Burnett and adjoining Counties in Wisconsin.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Mendeleev outlined the modern periodic table in 1869, many new uses have been found for the 92 naturally occurring elements. This book travels back in time to describe the utilization of materials familiar (gold, copper, iron) and arcane (arsenic, boron, red ochre) and their practical history (mining, metallurgy and crafts), with evidence from archaeology and geology. Together with the technological developments, author Robert Boyle portrays the advances in our understanding of materials science which led to modern geological and environmental sciences. It is a source book valuable to students of history and archaeology, mining and metallurgy, as well as to geologists, mineralogists and geochemists everywhere.
