Synopsis

This book, initially published in 1916, provides a detailed historical account of the Santa Rita mining district in New Mexico. The author, a mining engineer, describes the discovery of the ore deposits in the area, and how the use of churn drills to prospect for ore bodies and of steam shovels for extracting ore led to the establishment of large-scale copper mining operations. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the geology of the ore deposits, the methods used for mining and processing the ore, and how the ongoing operation addresses issues such as water supply and power provision.
