Seite 63 - If by any reasonable construction, in view of the surrounding circumstances, the language employed in the description will impart notice to subsequent locators, it is sufficient.
Seite 53 - ... proposed for it. In veins of slip-fiber asbestos the fiber lies parallel to the vein walls and marks a plane of fracture along which the two sides have slipped upon each other and given direction to the development of the fiber. Cross-fiber asbestos extends directly across the vein which it forms. The mass fiber is not in veins, but forms the whole mass of the rock, in which veins of slip or cross fiber may occur. As a matter of fact, however, where mass fiber is best developed veins of slip...

To find quantity of water elevated in one minute...
Seite 263 - In jigs treating grains larger than 10 mm., the ore falls on sorting-tables of perforated iron sheets. The jigs have two discharge-pipes, one for each compartment, and the division between the compartments is raised only as high as the pipe, to allow free movement to the upper layer. The first pipe discharges principally a mixture of galena, barite, and cerussite; the second discharges smithsonite and calamine. Sorting on the outside tables gives finished products. The jigs with five compartments,...
Seite 13 - ... about 200 feet in each direction from the shaft, and the ground is blocked off by crosscuts having a variable length up to about 100 feet. Fortunately, but little timbering is generally required. Where the ground is weak, pillars are left at intervals of about 25 feet when working back the faces. Ordinarily, as mining commences at the extreme limit of the area to be worked, the ground from which the pay dirt has been removed is allowed to settle if it will. Experience has shown that settling...
