The Theory and Practice of Ore Dressing (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Ore Dressing

In this work an attempt has been made to cover in a single volume the whole subject of ore dressing as applied at metalliferous mines in western America. The subject is treated in a manner designed to be of value and assistance to several classes of men engaged or interested in the treatment of ore by concentration processes. While the book is written largely as an aid to the mine manager or engineer in charge of mining enterprises, it is believed that the millman also will find in it much of value relating to the care of machines intrusted to his charge. It is not expected that the work will displace the hard-earned experience of the metallurgical engineer, but a man of that class will find in the book many useful and practical data. The needs of the student have not been forgotten, and a sufficient amount of theory has been introduced 'to give him a comprehension of some of the underlying principles of the art.
