Synopsis

Excerpt from A Study of Ore Deposits for the Practical Miner: With Descriptions of Ore Minerals, Rock, Minerals and Rocks, a Guide to the Prospector

The book is written for the average miner, the prospector and the mining public. It is eminently practical, of simple language, concise in statement and deals only with essentials. A knowledge of minerals, ores, and rocks is important to a correct understanding of ore deposits, for all are intimately associated. A brief description therefore of the most important of these is given. The structural features of ore deposits and the walls enclosing them, together with the form, origin, and manner of occurrence of deposits have been given special attention. No attempt at classification of ore deposits is made further than to group under separate heads those deposits which have certain structural conditions in common.

Descriptions of prominent mines of various types and forms are presented chie?y to exemplify and enforce the principles herein set forth governing the deposition and occurrence of ores. For this purpose extensively developed properties with a history have been selected because they afford the best opportunities for study. A brief mention of the geology of each region is also given.

Ideas, hints, opinions, and facts obtained from many sources have been so interwoven one with another in the subject-matter that individual recognition and credit can seldom be given. On page 341 may be found a partial list of publications and papers which have been consulted.
