Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sandstone Quarrying in the United States In 1914 an agreement was entered into between the United States Geological Survey, the United States Bureau of Standards, and the Bureau of Mines for a cooperative study of the stone-quarrying industry of the country. According to this agreement the Geological Survey is to observe and report upon undeveloped outcrops, the Bureau of Mines to make a study of operating or partly developed quarries, and the Bureau of Standards to make all physical and chemical tests of samples submitted by the other bureaus involved. Safety in Stone Quarrying, Bureau of Mines Technical Paper 111, 1915, and The Technology of Marble Quarrying, Bureau of Mines Bulletin 106, 1916, were the first and second and the present bulletin on sandstone quarrying is the third of a proposed series of papers dealing with various phases of the industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technology of Slate Under a cooperative agreement between the Bureau of Mines, the United States Geological Survey, and the United States Bureau of Standards, a study of the stone-quarrying industries of the coun try was begun in 1914. The results of investigations made have been published from time to time.1 During the World War the Bureau of Mines centered its attention on problems relating to national de tense, and detailed studies of stone-quarry problems were not under taken except for an investigation of labor saving at limestone quar ries, reported in Technical Paper 203, which related to a question of military importance. Since the return of peace, the high cost of materials and labor has made more imperative than in prewar times the conduct of investigations for aiding the quarrying industries in every way possible to adopt more economical methods and to utilize the most efficient labor-saving equipment. The publications already issued have had a wide demand, and in the interest of the quarry industries the bureau proposes to issue additions to the series as rapidly as funds are available. In an endeavor to promote economy and the reduction of waste in the slate industry, a study of slate quarrying was begun in 1920 and covered a period of about two years. Sixty-five active quarries were visited, and a detailed study made of all problems bearing on their successful operation. Field study was supplemented by a study of all information available in books or published articles on slate quarrying.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sandstone Resources of Extreme Southern Illinois: A Preliminary Report In the area covered by this report there are many deposits of sandstone. All the thicker sandstones form bluffs in some places. Overburden on many deposits is only loess, a silty clay. Near the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, the loess is as much as 60 feet thick in some places, but inland its thickness decreases rapidly and is about 5 to 10 feet in the north-central part Of the area covered by this report.

Download or read book Stones written by George P. Merrill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stones: For Building and Decoration The work herewith presented is based upon the author's handbook and catalogue of the collection of building and ornamental stones in the United States National Museum at Washington. It differs from that work, however, in many important particulars, several new chapters having been added, others rewritten and the whole so far as possible brought down to date. A portion of the added matter is essentially the same, though in a somewhat different form, as originally appeared in the columns of Stone, the American Architect, the Scientific American Supplement, and other of our industrial journals. The writer's experience in preparing the extensive collection in the National Museum, at Washington, as well as its partial duplicate in the American Museum in New York City, has afforded him ample opportunity for becoming acquainted with the quarry products of the country at large, while extensive field trips, particularly in the eastern and extreme western United States, have given him a practical insight into the resources of the regions as well as some knowledge concerning the usual methods of quarrying and working. That there is a demand for a comprehensive and not too technical a work on this subject has been emphatically impressed upon the writer many times during the past few years. How far the pages herewith presented shall supply this demand, it is left for the public to decide. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Ore and Stone Mining The object of my text-book is to assist students in acquiring a knowledge of the art of mining. Books and lectures are not intended to take the place of practical teaching at mines, but they render the training more thorough and complete in many ways: they serve to explain the principles of the art, to solve difficulties which perplex the beginner, to suggest matters which he should observe, to tell him of things beyond his ken, and to supply him with a system for arranging his ideas methodically. It will be seen by my numerous references that I have not hesitated to avail myself of very varied sources of informa tion, and that I have taken care to avoid dwelling too much upon English examples.
