Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Method of Administering Leases of Iron-Ore Deposits Belonging to the State of Minnesota The following report on the mining properties of the State of Minnesota is the result of work begun through inquiries made by the State auditor, J. A. O. Preus, during the summer of 1917, as to whether the Bureau of Mines could supervise an investigation of those properties with the general object of ascertaining.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Manufacture and Properties Iron and Steel Some readers might prefer that less space should be devoted to theoretical matter and more to descriptions of apparatus, but in my Opinion the place for such information is in the trade periodicals. It takes so long to print a book that drawings are antiquated when the issue appears, but the fundamental principles of metallurgy remain the same. A book issued in England refers courteously to the former edition of this work, but states that little information is given concerning the practical details of operation. That 'same book sets forth that an open-hearth furnace is charged by putting the pig-iron in first; that in a. Twenty-five-ton furnace not over nine men can be employed, even when there are doors on both sides, and that with rapid work it takes two hours to charge a heat. Now those figures are true for the district with which that writer was familiar, but in America the pig-iron is put in last, while at Steel ton on a furnace of the size mentioned we use twice the number of men and with good scrap finish the work by charging, by hand labor only, in a period ranging from thirty minutes down to eleven minutes. Of equal value is much of the ao-called practical infor mation given in metallurgical treatises. It only remains to thank many friends, both at home and abroad, for aiding in this work which has been accomplished in the intervals of what I trust is not otherwise an entirely idle life.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Manufacture and Properties of Iron and Steel I have compared at some length the condition of the industry in each separate country. These descriptions of the various dis tricts or provinces are not intended as complete investigations. It would be impossible for instance to describe the American districts so fully that every engineer and metallurgist of our country would find all the information he might wish, or even find a record of all that he already knows. It would also be impossible to tell an Eng lish engineer much about those parts of his own country with which he is acquainted. It may be possible, however, to give some facts for the benefit of travelers; to clear the way for a foreigner visit ing America, or an American visiting other lands. It 'is for this purpose only that these articles have been written and their end will be accomplished if they furnish certain fundamental facts on which to base such a journey. Some readers might prefer that less space should be devoted to theoretical matter and more to descriptions and drawings of fur naces and apparatus, but in my opinion the place for such informa tion is in the trade periodicals. It takes so long to print a book like this that the drawings are antiquated when the issue appears, and every year that it stands upon the shelf it becomes more and more a catalogue of discarded devices, while on the other hand the fundamental principles of metallurgy remain the same from year to year, and their value knows no depreciation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Iron: Its History, Properties,& Processes of Manufacture During the publication of the eighth edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica," I was suddenly called upon to write an article on the Manufacture of Iron; and it was intimated to me that the publication was so far advanced that I could not be allowed more than a few weeks for its completion. Thus placed, with other professional engagements to attend to, I had not only to work early and late, but I had to hurry through the work, in order to prevent delay and disappointment in the appearance of the volume. It was under these conditions the article was written, and they must be my apology for the imperfections it contains. The Publishers, aware of these circumstances, have very handsomely come forward with an offer to print the article in a more complete state, in a separate volume; and having made considerable additions, I again submit it in a form which, I trust, may be more useful than when it appeared in the publication in question.

Book Description
Excerpt from Iron and Steel Iron is the most important of all the metals that have been pressed into the service of man, which is due, not only to its great abundance in Nature, but also to its unique properties. The result of this is that no one metal has received so much attention from both practical men and scientists, as is shown by the fact that some of the most prominent men in Europe and America are investigating the many chemical and physical properties of the metal and its application to the requirements of civilisation. Thus an enormous mass of information has accumulated, and is to be found in original papers and books. Portions of the subject are still in their youth and are growing vigorously, so that the teacher of to-day must become the student of to-morrow. On the other hand, parts of it are so old that their origin is lost in the mists of time, and dates back to the first glimmerings of that intelligence which now enables man to utilise to the fullest extent the valuable properties of the metal.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Iron Way: A Tale of the Builders of the West Eldorado were the parents of the author of this work, who belonged to one of the best families of the State of Maine. They chose the route across the Isthmus. She, the author, their first child, was a babe, and was carried over the then almost insurmountable barriers which still separate the two oceans, by a native em ployed for that purpose. Her father, one of the ablest and most forceful of those pioneers, who is still spared to enjoy the bless ings that have come from the great highway, a man of remarkable executive ability, was one among those who helped to build it. He was early placed in positions of importance, involving the management of great properties, and the employment and direction of large bodies of men in the work of construction. When the last spike was driven he entered the operating department of the road, where he remained for more than twenty-five years, serving the major part of this time as Assistant General Superintendent. When he entered upon the work of construction, be deemed it important to have his family with him, or as near to him as practicable; and while he did not give up his residence in California, he established them in a temporary but comfortable home, which, as the work progressed, was moved on, along the right of way.

Book Description
Excerpt from Iron and Steel: Their Sources, Varieties, Properties, and Manufacture, With Numerous Engravings and Diagrams Cementation is a process in which a metal is made to take up a solid element, by being heated with it. In the metallurgy of Iron the principal example Is the carburising of malleable-iron, and the production of steel, by the prolonged exposure of the iron at a temperature below fusion, to the action of solid carbon. A similar action may go on in the blast furnace where the freshly reduced iron is in contact with the carbon of the fuel. Cold-short expresses a condition of iron or other metal in which when it is worked by hammering or rolling at or below a dull red-heat the edges crack or fracture according to the degree of the cold-shortness; perhaps such metal may be worked with the utmost facility at a higher temperature. Small quantities of phosphorus, silicon, arsenic, and antimony induce cold-shortness in iron or steel, phosphorus being the most common cause of this defect.

Book Description
Excerpt from Iron Ores: Their Occurrence, Valuation and Control The material presented in this volume has been worked over, at intervals, during many years of professional activity; and cer tain sections have, as later noted, been published in various technical journals and in private and official reports. The volume as it now stands represents an attempt to discuss iron ores not merely in their geologic and technical relations, but in their more general relations to industrial conditions. The field thus outlined is broad, and the risk of failure is correspond ingly great. But on the other hand there have been exceptional opportunities for studying the iron-ore situation from several widely different standpoints, and something more than a purely technical treatment seemed to be both justified and desirable. The industries based upon iron ores are iof interest, directly or indirectly, to the entire business and financial world; and have also to some degree become matters of political concern. Any adequate discussion of the general iron-ore situation must there fore take into consideration many factors not commonly regarded by the geologist or the engineer, and too often passed by as not susceptible of exact definition or scientific treatment. It is hoped that this volume will prove to be, if not conclusive, at least suggestive in these regards. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
