The Business of Mining - A Brief Non-Technical Exposition of the Principles Involved in the Profitable Operation of Mines #265123

Nothing of a technical or engineering sort has been attempted herein, the sole aim of the writer being to establish the reliability and the credit of the mining industry as a whole by pointing out the lines of conduct which should be followed by those who enter its precincts as busi ness people. When investors of small or large means will put their money into mining projects with the same precautions that they would exercise in placing their cash in other enterprises, they will be rewarded with corresponding remunera tion. In this firm conviction, then, this little work is dedicated to the intelligence of American laymen in mining matters.
