Page 354 - ... in value with depth, becoming lower in iron and higher in lime, until at no great depth the bed will consist entirely of unaltered limestone. If, on the contrary, the ore deposits are original, no such regular decrease in richness is to be expected as the mines are driven deeper. Patches of low-grade ore may be struck, but these will be due to original differences in the richness of the ore, and a slope might pass downward through such a patch of lean ore into another area of highgrade ore.
Page 272 - The former are determined by lines of levels run either in both forward and backward directions or by simultaneous double-rodded lines, a highgrade instrument being used and special precautions being taken in observations and reduction to correct errors and make the line continuously good throughout. The latter or primary levels are determined with the Y level, precautions being taken against only the principal errors and the levels being run mostly in circuits of single lines. The allowable limit...
