Description
Excerpt from The Ventilation of Mines: Designed for Use in Schools and Colleges; And for Practical Mining Men in Their Study of the Subject
The Ventilation of Mines is a subject to which all interested, miners and operators alike, should give the most earnest heed - miners, because upon the observance of its laws and principles depend their life and health; operators, because a thorough knowledge of the subject, followed by a faithful application of such knowledge in practice, cannot but result in a large saving of expense, ranging from fifty to seventy-five per cent.
It is a subject to which as yet American writers have contributed little. This is to be accounted for partly on account of the infancy, as it were, of the Mining Industry in America, as compared with its development in the mother country; but largely on account of the inordinate haste of Americans to see results. This haste is only too apparent in all of our industries, but in none is it more observable than in the mining; and one of its most deplorable results is to hinder and in many cases render wholly impracticable scientific observation.
