Overview

Leading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to yet another classic mining publication on metal extraction. First published in 1896, it has been unavailable for over a century and sheds important light on how historic miners recovered silver, copper and tin from their mining operations. The book is split into three sections, including a discussion on the Lixiviation of Silver Ores, the mining and treatment of copper ores as practiced at Tharsis, Spain and the smelting of tin as it was practiced by metallurgists at Pulo Brani, Singapore. Also included is an overview and analysis of these historic metal recovery methods that will be of benefit to those interested in the extraction of silver, copper and tin from small mines. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As such, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
