This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Copper Mines of Lake Superior It is this mining region which I have endeavored to describe, by the aid of observations and information secured during three weeks in the summer of 1904. For much of my material I am indebted to the courtesy of mine managers and engineers, whose names are mentioned, with grateful acknowledgment, in the pages that follow. During the whole of my stay at Houghton I received the help, and frequently the stimulating companionship, of Mr. F. W. Mcnair, president of the Michigan College of Mines, and of Mr. L. S. Austin, professor of metallurgy in that most efficient technical institution. To these two friends I am under particular obligations. One matter, to which I regret to refer, requires mention in this account of the copper mines of Lake Superior; for, unpretentious as my story is, I desire it to be an honest portrayal Of mining affairs in the Upper Peninsula during the year 1904. Therefore, this explanation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Ne Saw Je Won As the Ottawas Say written by Helen Mandeville Martin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Ne-Saw-Je-Won" As the Ottawas Say: A Tale of the Waters That Run Down From Lake Superior to the Sea Several years ago a group of business men, accustomed to a mid summer trip together on a lake freighter, each day afloat gathered to discuss subjects of mutual interest. One of them, a geologist, con tributed a series of informal talks on the Geology of the Great Lakes Region and the History of the Lakes, drawing illustrations from the rocks and shore features that could be observed from the ship. So much interest was aroused by these discussions that eventu ally it was planned to have the story written in brief, popular form, with the necessary maps and illustrations, so that it could be read at leisure and retained as a memento of such voyages. Years passed without any action being taken on this idea, until in the fall of 1938, Miss Helen M. Martin, geologist, associated with the Michigan Geological Survey, was engaged to prepare the manu script. As she is intimately familiar with the geology of the lakes region and is a former student of Dr. Frank Leverett (who, with the late Frank B. Taylor, is mainly responsible for what is known of the origin and development of the Great Lakes) Miss Martin is especially qualified for this undertaking. In the spring of 1939, her manuscript, sketch maps and photographs were turned over to Mr. M. D. Harbaugh, who has done the editorial work, prepared final drawings, and designed and directed the publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Honourable Peter White: A Biographical Sketch of the Lake Superior Iron Country This book is unlike any other in that it is really a romance though it deals with facts. There is no statement in it that is not result Of patient re search. It has seemed best to write it while it was yet possible, for the in formation which it contains has been secured at first hand. The industrial supremacy of the United States among nations is due wholly to the purity, abundance, cheapness Of mining and low rate of transportation of Lake Su perior ores. There are living chronicles today Of the early development Of this region - men, who as boys went into that country to develop it, then an unbroken wilderness - and from their lips the story has been secured.' Oh viously if not written now it could not, in a little while, be written at all. SO vast indeed has been the progress since that it seems incredible that it should have occurred within the lifetime of one man. Yet Lake Superior, in a com mercial sense, is only fifty years Old. The beginnings, therefore, of this great iron industry are historically important and are Of interest to every citizen in the United States, for there is not a man or woman today living who has not been, directly or indirectly, benefited by the great mineral wealth Of the Lake Superior country and the labor Of Winning it and working it into the arts.
