Besides the silver mines which are found there, and various other mines which have actually yielded metals, the gold placer, especially, is worthy of great attention, which extending nearly thirty leagues, was discovered lately, together with mines of mineral coal. It is painful for me to have to confess that mining is in a worse...
Stran 327 - This was to frame timbers together in rectangular sets, each set being composed of a square base, placed horizontally, formed of four timbers, sills, and crosspieces from 4 to 6 feet long, surmounted at the corners by four posts from 6 to 7 feet high, and capped by a framework similar to the base.

The spaces between the timbers were filled with waste rock or with wooden braces, forming a solid cube whenever the maximum degree of firmness was desired. By adjustments of these sets the ore bodies along...

The Bald Mountain Company, it is calculated, have enough gravel left within the limits of their claim to keep them profitably employed for another nine years at least. REMOVING THE GRAVEL FROM THE MINE. Where the gravel from drift mines is to be brought to the surface through vertical or inclined shafts, the kind of motive power to be used for that purpose depends...
Stran 97 - The channel is 500 feet wide; the grade, 50 feet to a mile; the rim-rock, 100 feet high on the east and 20 on the west, on an average. The deposit of gravel is 100 feet deep. It is white near the top ; red, blue, and black at the bottom. There are many boulders...
