This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixth Report of the Bureau of Mines, 1896 The total amount of authorized capital is and all excepting five or six of the twenty-two companies incorporated have been organized to carry on operations in the gold fields of the Province - prospecting, developing and mining. Besides these, there are companies formed under the Imperial Joint Stock Companies Acts, one or two of which brought in large sums of money to spend in opening mines and the erection of works to treat ores. Agreement With an Eng lish syndicate to explore under license of occupation. Many people of small means have been led to invest their savings, and, towards the end of the year, there was a rush for shares in all kinds of mining companies in and out of the Province, some of which were of more than doubtful substantiality. Fortunately the excitement did not reach a serious stage, and, under the new statute of the Legislature for the regulation of extra-provincial companies, the promoters of wild-cat schemes will find that before stocks are sold in the money markets here some better assurance of their worth must be given than a gilded advertisement in a newspaper. Mining stocks may be as safe as stocks of any other kind, yet experience everywhere shows that there is a temptation to exaggerate their value, and that gold stocks especially have a glamour to draw the unwary. It is not the wealthy classes in England as a rule that buy mining shares, and those who have suffered most severely from the drop in South African stocks are ones who could least afford it. There is great need of capital in this country to build up mining but the earnings of one industry should not be squandered in another, and prudent measures of legislation skilfully administered may give valuable service in even so delicate a matter as' the investment of capital, especially when the business is in a far-off field and carried on under other laws than our own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digging mineral wealth from the ground dates to prehistoric times, and Europeans pursued mining in the Americas from the earliest colonial days. Prior to the Civil War, little mining was deep enough to require maps. However, the major finds of the mid-nineteenth century, such as the Comstock Lode, were vastly larger than any before in America. In Seeing Underground, Nystrom argues that, as industrial mining came of age in the United States, the development of maps and models gave power to a new visual culture and allowed mining engineers to advance their profession, gaining authority over mining operations from the miners themselves. Starting in the late nineteenth century, mining engineers developed a new set of practices, artifacts, and discourses to visualize complex, pitch-dark three-dimensional spaces. These maps and models became necessary tools in creating and controlling those spaces. They made mining more understandable, predictable, and profitable. Nystrom shows that this new visual culture was crucial to specific developments in American mining, such as implementing new safety regulations after the Avondale, Pennsylvania fire of 1869 killed 110 men and boys; understanding complex geology, as in the rich ores of Butte, Montana; and settling high-stakes litigation, such as the Tonopah, Nevada, Jim Butler v. West End lawsuit, which reached the US Supreme Court. Nystrom demonstrates that these neglected artifacts of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have much to teach us today. The development of a visual culture helped create a new professional class of mining engineers and changed how mining was done. Seeing Undergound is the winner of the 2015 Mining History Association’s Clark Spence Award for the best book on mining history.
