This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mineral Resources and Mineral Industry of Oregon for 1903, Vol. 1 In presenting herewith an account of the mineral industry of Oregon the author, in justice to the subject and himself. Feels the necessity of explaining the exact nature and scope of the work undertaken. An ideal discussion of the mineral resources of a country would involve, perhaps, an historical account of the mining industry in the several districts; a study of geological features; details descriptive of development, equipment, mining and metal lurgical practice; statistics of production and labor; as well as whatever other matters there might be which would have either an economic or scientific bearing upon the industry in question. The complete attainment of such an ideal, however, would be the task of a thoroughly organized geological survey, adequately equipped, liberally supplied with funds, and properly invested with the authority necessary for carrying out its purposes. Even under such advantageous circumstances, in a state as large as Oregon, there would be some dificulty in making a complete statement of condi tions before several years of work were done. It became an absolute necessity for the author, therefore, in taking up this work single-handed, to set a limit within which it might be possible to accomplish something in the time at his disposal. With the means at hand the possibilities resolved themselves into a consideration of the places of occurrence of the various mineral deposits as far as knowledge could be obtained of them; their mineral ogical character; ownership; development; and equipment. Nor has it always been possible to get all of this information with respect to a given property, in such cases there has been given simply a state ment of the facts obtainable. It is thought that all of the more important, known mineral deposits of the state have received men tion. In case any have been omitted it is because through the channels of information available for this work nothing has been heard from them.

Download or read book A History of Gold Dredging in Idaho written by Clark C. Spence and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Gold Dredging in Idaho tells the story of a revolution in placer mining—and its subsequent impact on the state of Idaho—from its inception in the early 1880s until its demise in the early 1960s. Idaho was the nation’s fourth-leading producer of dredged gold after 1910 and therefore provides an excellent lens through which to observe the practice and history of gold dredging. Author Clark Spence focuses on the two most important types of dredges in the state—the bucket-line dredge and the dragline dredge—and describes their financing, operation, problems, and effect on the state and environment. These dredges made it possible to work ground previously deemed untouchable because bedrock where gold collected could now be reached. But they were also highly destructive to the environment. As these huge machines floated along, they dumped debris that harmed the streams and destroyed wildlife habitat, eventually prompting state regulations and federal restoration of some of the state’s crippled waterways. Providing a record of Idaho’s dredging history for the first time, this book is a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding of Western mining, its technology, and its overall development as a major industry of the twentieth century.
