Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mine, Vol. 2 There is a very strong reason in the nature of mines and miners for many of the delays in properly defin ing a claim. Every part of a ledge is not equally rich. Ore occurs in seams, chimneys, or chutes, and as soon as a man struck it rich his first thought was usually to explore it until he could select and stake out the best three hundred feet. Nearly all of the early locators on the Comstock were trying to get the richest slice in the lode, and they kept away from the recorder's office; or if they entered a claim, they took care to leave it in such shape that it could be altered, like some of the Spanish land grants of California that were floated ten or fifteen miles, much to the subsequent profit of attorneys. Even when the metes and bounds were well defined the guileless miners could not always be de pended upon to leave them so. One of the pioneers mentions a mining suit in which the matter hinged upon the location of a stump that marked the corner. Judge and jury adjourned and went to look at the stump. It had been dug up bodily during the night and carried off, and the ground was so levelled that not the slightest clew remained. Each side accused the other, and the case was never decided. All the American mining camps have maintained in the case of quartz ledges the right to an inclined location - that is, the right to take a claim of definite size and follow it downward at any angle or angles, taking all the ore in the vein and in its legitimate branches. A miner, according to this idea, takes up a piece of ground simply for the lode, and goes wherever it goes. Spanish mining law, on the contrary, recog nises only the square location. According to the Span ish plan, as soon as a ledge passes beyond the boundary of a square piece of ground of given size it belongs to the man in whose tract it lies. One can easily see that the Spanish system must prevent much trouble and render the single-vein problem immaterial. In fact, it rules out of court nine tenths of all the cases that lead to lawsuits. Matters rapidly went from bad to worse on the Comstock until the most casual oh server would have seen a wild Walpurgis-night revel of conflicting claims of every Size, shape, and age tum bling over each other three and four deep. It is hardly surprising, for the Comstock was not the only vein on the side of Mount Davidson, nor even the most prominent one. The Virginia lode was nearly parallel, and other veins, too' many to name and hardly worth while digging up from the dust of forgotten records.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miners the Eight Hours Movement It is seldom that a Conference is held on which so much of really national importance hinges, as the representative assembly of Colliery Proprietors and Miners' Agents who met in London Jan. 21, to consider the proposal made by the men for an eight hours working day in mines. The proceedings were private, and the only knowledge furnished through the press is that the Conference was adjourned till February 11th. The question being one which affects the welfare of the public, it will be well to state not only what the proposal is, but to shew what the effect will be if it becomes law, and also to present the arguments for and against. It must be remembered that the proposal does not mean forty-eight working hours each week, but simply a maximum of eight hours in any one day. I venture to write upon the measure having been directly associated with mining operations an my daily life, and having been identified with large numbers of the more intelligent of the working miners during a 23 years evening lectureship at our School of Mines in the Mining County of Lancashire.

For the first two years he did well. He improved his farm, gathered considerable stock about him, and, comparatively speaking, was quite prosperous and happy. But, alas for the ambitious hopes of the Kansas farmer! The drought and the hot winds came, when the fields of waving wheat and tasseling corn, bowing down before the withering blast, died. But the Kansas farmer, though an inveterate grum bler, was not to be baffled by the failure of one crop. It but all the more determined him to try again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heat of the Comstock Mines These high temperatures appear to be partly due to the usual sources of heat in mines, and partly to chemical action in the rock, for the average depth in which the heat rises one degree Fahrenheit from the surface downward varies with the ground. The copper-bearing lodes are therefore the hottest, and in Corn-wall heated ground is thought to be a good indication of copper, just as hot ground is looked upon in the Comstock mines as a favorable sign of ore. Temperature in the Comstock Mines. These readings were obtained by placing a thermometer in a drill-hole immediately after the hole was finished, and leaving it there for periods varying from ten minutes to half an hour. Very little or no difference was discovered between holes which were drilled wet or dry, or if wet, between holes which were naturally wet, and those which were made so artificially. No doubt there must be some difference due to these varying conditions, but they are so slight as to be completely masked by the steady flow of heat from the rock during the exposure of the thermometer. The holes in which the thermometers were placed were not sunk especially for this work of testing, but were the ordinary drill-holes made for the purpose of blasting the rock. They varied therefore from about ten inches to three feet in depth. No variations in the height of the thermometer were found to be caused by this difference of depth, and this also is quite reasonable.
