Excerpt from Pumping and Hoisting Works for Gold and Silver MinesThis work not being in the shape of an advertising circular, we have endeavored to keep it free from any laudation Of our own practice, nor do we expect it to be free from fault. Mining superintendents will, no doubt, find many things stated in this work to be the best that can be devised that they can improve upon. That part of the work which endeavors to point out what should be the future practice in this important branch of engi neering, we know to be directly opposed to the expressed opinions of some leading engineers on the Comstock. We do not expect our opinions to decide what kind of machinery will be built to drain the great depths to which these mines may be wrought, but they may help a company to decide what is the best thing for them to do under certain circumstances.This, the result of our labors, whatever value it may possess, we present to the mining engineers of California and Nevada, amongst whom we number many personal friends - men well qualified to judge of and form opinions upon the various subjects that we have endeavored to treat.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
