A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In preparing this little work the author has felt the difficulty which arises in a theoretical dissertation on soeminently practical a subject as prospecting. It seems like giving rules and prescriptions for hunting or fishing or any other natural or practical pursuit. Though theory and practice are not at variance when happily combined, yet either without the other proves very unsatisfactory. Thusthe reader of this book, should he start out armed only with its theory, will find himself for some time pretty much at sea when he comes to actual practice in the field. A sr however, he gradually obtains some practical experience, he may find this little work of use to him. So, also, the seasoned prospector, who has hitherto trusted to luck, keenness of observation, intuition and experience, may find himself in the future much better equipped by acquiring a little of the theory. Whilst we have endeavored ta give the prospector all assistance in our power, as to he best means of educating himself, describing his outfit, etc., we have devoted special attention to the description of such geological and other phenomena as he is likely to meet with in connection with his work, so that he may have an intelligent idea of them when he encounters them. We have selected just as much material as we think would be most interesting and useful to him, saving him the time and trouble of wading through heavy tomes and laboriously picking out from a vast amount of, for his purpose, superfluous matter, that which he will most require. The work is intended to be a popular one, addressed tothe average student, prospector and miner and to the general public. The illustrations are largely drawn by the author from Colorado mines and Rocky Mountain subjects which are most familiar to him. ARTHUR LAKES, State School of Mines, Golden City, Colorado.
