Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Statistics of Mines and Mining: In the States and Territories West of the Rocky Mountains, Being the Sixth Annual Report In my fifth annual report, rendered. In 1873, the stamp-mill process, as it exists in California in its greatest perfection, was thoroughly de scribed, with workin g-drewin gs so complete as to be suitable for use by the miners of less favored districts. In the same volume the important subjects of economy in smelting and of the calorific value of the west ern lignites received further treatment. A new topic was introduced by the thorough description, never before given, I believe, with such full ness and accuracy, of the American process of hydraulic mining, to which account a discussion of the Pliocene rivers of California, the sources of hydraulic deposits, constituted an appropriate introduction. This report contained also a chapter on the dressing of ores, a subject which every year brings into greater prominence in this country, as the amount of tailings and low-grade ores, accumulated in our mining dis tricts, grows larger, and the truth impresses itself more clearly upon our mining communities that the successful treatment of these classes of material is the only permanent basis for an extensive mining industry. The report of 1873 contained, also, numerous drawings of mining ma chinery, intended to illustrate the latest patterns which experience has led the manufactories of the Pacific coast to adopt. It was, moreover, accompanied with a copy of an excellent geological map of the United States, universally acknowledged to be the most convenient and trust worthy yet published. It should be added, as a feature of no small importance to the useful ness of these volumes, that each one of them is provided with a triple alphabetical index of mines, mining districts, and subjects, so that the information they contain can be instantaneously referred to when it is needed.

This book was released on 2002-03-14 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) of the U. S. Department of Energy commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) to undertake a study on required technologies for the Mining Industries of the Future Program to complement information provided to the program by the National Mining Association. Subsequently, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health also became a sponsor of this study, and the Statement of Task was expanded to include health and safety. The overall objectives of this study are: (a) to review available information on the U.S. mining industry; (b) to identify critical research and development needs related to the exploration, mining, and processing of coal, minerals, and metals; and (c) to examine the federal contribution to research and development in mining processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past five hundred years, North Americans have increasingly turned to mining to produce many of their basic social and cultural objects. From cell phones to cars and roadways, metal pots to wall tile and even talcum powder, minerals products have become central to modern North American life. As this process has unfolded, mining has also indelibly shaped the natural world and North Americans' relationship with it. Mountains have been honeycombed, rivers poisoned, and forests leveled. The effects of these environmental transformations have fallen unevenly across North American societies. Mining North America examines these developments. Drawing on the work of scholars from Mexico, the United States, and Canada, this book explores how mining has shaped North America over the last half millennium. It covers an array of minerals and geographies while seeking to draw mining into the core debates that animate North American environmental history generally. Taken together, the authors' contributions make a powerful case for the centrality of mining in forging North American environments and societies"--Provided by publisher.
