Présentation de l'éditeur

Author has been engaged during the last thirty years in the practical application of electricity to mining work. For a long period he was the apostle of electricity to the mining world, preaching the advantages of electricity for mining, in season and out of season. For a large portion of the thirty years, he conducted a very uphill battle against the natural conservatism of mining engineers and mine managers, who have to think before all things of getting their mineral out, and who could not afford to instal new apparatus, however good it might seem, unless they were quite sure that it would not interfere, even temporarily, with the output; and against the many difficulties inherent in the development of a new industry. He claims to have had a very large share in making the position held by electricity in mining work at the present time; and in the following pages he has endeavoured to give mining engineers, mine managers, and all who are interested in mining work, or who have to do with mines, the full benefit of the experience acquired, often very painfully, during the last thirty years. He has also endeavoured to give as full particulars, and to explain the working as fully as possible, of the very latest up-to-date apparatus employed both in this country, in A merica, and on the Continent. In Chapter I. he has given the usual resum6, made as full as possible, and to meet the greater knowledge of the subject possessed at the present day by mining engineers, than was possessed thirty years ago, of the underlying principles of electricity, with the terms, etc., in general use. In Chapters II. and III. he has given short descriptions of signals, telephones, and electric-lighting apparatus in use about mines, that in his opinion can be employed with advantage. In Chapter IV. he has gone very fully indeed into the question of the generation of electricity eco
