About This Book

A practical manual that instructs prospectors, mine managers, and students in locating, extracting, and treating gold from both alluvial deposits and veins. It lays out field prospecting methods for shallow and deep ground, techniques for tracing and assessing lodes, panning and assaying procedures, and warnings about minerals that commonly mimic gold. The text describes crushing and milling equipment, battery operation, amalgamation and cyanide processes, hydraulic and steam-driven methods, and practical approaches to ore treatment and metallurgical analysis. Numerous illustrations, plates, rules of thumb, and the author’s long field experience supply hands-on guidance for conducting prospecting campaigns and running mills and batteries.
