Essential reference for aspiring and practicing miners: a practical survey of mining engineering drawn from a formal course and updated for efficiency and real-world use.

This elementary treatise presents the fundamentals of mining practice, including preparation, development, prospecting, and the design of plant and equipment. It blends American and foreign approaches, offering clear explanations of machines, methods, and safety considerations for readers who want a solid, usable foundation.

The work is divided into two parts: mining engineering concepts and the hands-on practice of mining operations. It emphasizes the practical sequence from geological review to field methods, with guidance on hoisting, ventilation, and the equipment of modern mines. The third edition adds new material on design details and a curated bibliography to help readers stay current with the latest literature in the field.

Geognosy and ore-deposit concepts to identify and evaluate mineral occurrences
Prospecting, drilling, blasting, shafting, tunneling, and timbering techniques
Hoisting, pumping, ventilation, and the plant layout essential for mine safety and efficiency
Historical and contemporary practices from both American and international sources

Ideal for students and mining professionals seeking a clear, practical reference on the fundamentals and the design of mining operations.
