A Comparison Of The Silver Losses Due To Cupellation Using Different Kinds Of Cupels, James A. Taggart, Anton Frederick Karte Jan 1911

A Comparison Of The Silver Losses Due To Cupellation Using Different Kinds Of Cupels, James A. Taggart, Anton Frederick Karte

Bachelors Theses

"In this thesis our object has been to ascertain the silver losses in cupellation with different kinds of cupel materials, thereby determining the efficiency of the various materials used for making cupels. When beginning this work we hardly expected to find such differences in behavior of the various cupels used. However we refer the reader to our curves to see what really happened"--page 2.


The Determination Of The Electrical Resistance Of The Human Body Under Conditions To Be Met Within Underground Mining, Duncan S. Smith, Paul E. Coaske Jan 1911

The Determination Of The Electrical Resistance Of The Human Body Under Conditions To Be Met Within Underground Mining, Duncan S. Smith, Paul E. Coaske

Bachelors Theses

"The use of electric wires in mines for power purposes is dangerous to human life. Deaths occur every year from electric shocks, and in most cases these accidents could have been prevented if some precaution had been taken by the victims, or if some care had been taken to protect them from coming in contact with live wires. Most workingmen accustomed to working around electric wires become careless and a lack of knowledge of the danger involved gives rise to the many accidents that occur each year...The object of this investigation is to determine just what resistance the human body …


The Efficiency Of The Rolla Municipal Power Plant, True Walter Blake, Otto Allen Lunak Jan 1911

The Efficiency Of The Rolla Municipal Power Plant, True Walter Blake, Otto Allen Lunak

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this thesis is to determine the efficiency of the separate units and of the plant as a whole under actual normal working conditions"--Object, page 1.

A Sanitary Study Of The Well Waters Of Rolla, Alexander Grosberg, Sam Paul Lindau

Bachelors Theses

"In undertaking the analysis of the well waters of Rolla, it was done with the hope that the factors governing the purity of well waters would be brought out. Such a study would also be of great help in determining the proper location and depth of the wells in the community"--Introduction, Page 1.


A Study To Determine A Process For The Treatment Of An Amalgamation Tailing, Robert Bruce Mitchell, Edward William Engelmann Jan 1911

A Study To Determine A Process For The Treatment Of An Amalgamation Tailing, Robert Bruce Mitchell, Edward William Engelmann

Bachelors Theses

"The ore for this series of experiments is the tailing from the old ore-dressing mill at Missouri School of Mines. In undertaking the task of devising a cyanide scheme for this tailing we knew that we had no little amount of work before us, neither were we sure of success, for all attempts thus far to cyanide this tailing had failed"--page 2.


Sulpho - Telluride Ore, David Lawton Forrester, Harry W. L. Porth Jan 1911

Sulpho - Telluride Ore, David Lawton Forrester, Harry W. L. Porth

Bachelors Theses

"The problem considered in this work, is the determination of a suitable scheme for cyaniding a low grade Cripple Creek ore. For several years many attempts have been made to solve the metalurgical sic problem presented by such ores"--page 1.


Evidence Relative To The Effect Of Mechanical Mixing Of Charges In The Fire Assay, James Keller Beach Jan 1911

Evidence Relative To The Effect Of Mechanical Mixing Of Charges In The Fire Assay, James Keller Beach

Bachelors Theses

"While mixing has always been suggested in the text books, on assaying, yet it seems that experimental data as to the effect of lack of mixing, or insufficient mixing, is not available. This thesis was conducted in an effort to determine just what variation and irregularity in the fusion of gold and silver ore was caused by non-mixing; i. e., whether the fusion took place in the same length of time, whether the fusion was complete, whether the values were collected and, in general, just what irregularities were incurred"--Statement of the Problem, page 2.


Scheme For The Treatment Of Copper Smelter Flue Dust, John Perry Walker Jan 1911

Scheme For The Treatment Of Copper Smelter Flue Dust, John Perry Walker

Bachelors Theses

"In recent years, methods for improving the prevailing practice in treatment of flue dust have demanded the attention of those engaged in the copper and lead industries. Great advancement has been made in the more complete settling of the dust in large chambers and flues, and in some instances, more particularly in the case of lead smelters, in its extraction from the flue discharge of the furnaces by filtration through bags. Schemes for re-treating this recovered dust are, however, in a somewhat undeveloped state"--page 1.

A Summary Of The Theories Of The Origin Of The Lake Superior Copper Ores, With Evidences Pertaining Thereto, Eva Endurance Hirdler Jan 1911

A Summary Of The Theories Of The Origin Of The Lake Superior Copper Ores, With Evidences Pertaining Thereto, Eva Endurance Hirdler

Bachelors Theses

"In each of the foregoing theories we obtain sound reasoning in connection with many facts. Therefore a correlation of these facts ought to give us enough material to deduct a sound theory. The most plausible supposition seems to be that all metallic ores are derived ultimately from the interior of the earth, from a great metallographic province, when they are delivered by igneous eruptives near or at the surface"--Conclusion With Reasons, page 29.


Evidence Pertaining To The Origin And Deposition Of Ore Deposits, James Edward Mcgoughran Jan 1911

Evidence Pertaining To The Origin And Deposition Of Ore Deposits, James Edward Mcgoughran

Bachelors Theses

"In looking over the evidence grouped in the foregoing tables it is at once evident that by far the greater number of the ore deposits are associated with igneous rocks, and that they have resulted from deposition from not solution. It appears that, relatively, deposition by segregation from an igneous magma is of much less importance than deposition from solution, in the formation of ore bodies. However, segregation is the only explanation possible in accounting for some very important deposits, but they are very few in number. In distinguishing between deposits resulting from hot ascending meteoric solutions and those resulting …


Mine Map And Geology Of Saltpeter Cave, Milan Harrison Detweiler, Frank Edgar Townsend Jan 1911

Mine Map And Geology Of Saltpeter Cave, Milan Harrison Detweiler, Frank Edgar Townsend

Bachelors Theses

"The date of discovery of Saltpeter Cave is not known and there is no way of determining it. Numerous accounts are given of the cave by the oldest settlers in the neighborhood, some of which are both startling and interesting. for instance, it is reported that the soldiers of the Confederate army visited this cave for the purpose of securing guano from which to extract saltpeter for use in the manufacture of gunpowder. This may be the origin of its name"--Geology, Page 1.

"The mine in question lies in the western part of Shangning District, in the province of Hunan. It is about one hundred and twenty miles south of Changsha, the capital of the province. It may be reached by a four days' trip from Changsha on foot. One can also reach there by native boat in a few days, depending on the wind and the stage of water. The mine is about three miles from the Siang River. This river has its sources in the northern part of Kwangtung province and in the eastern part of Kwangsi province. It flows north-ward …


Laboratory Methods For Copper-Nickel Ores, Walter Irving Phillips Jan 1910

Laboratory Methods For Copper-Nickel Ores, Walter Irving Phillips

Professional Degree Theses

"The Sudbury nickel field, situated in the Province of Ontario, Canada, near the northern shore of Lake Huron, was practically discovered when building the Canadian Pacific Railway. The method of deposit is unusual in that it is not a vein filling but a true igneous deposition. The magma carried besides rock making constituents three principle sulphides, viz. - those of iron as pyrrhotite; of copper as chalcopyrite; and of nickel as pentlandite. These three sulphides, being heavier than the rock matter, and, favored by the slow rate of cooling of the magma, had sufficient time to settle into the lowest …


The Design And Installation Of An Apparatus For Dehydrating The Air Which Is Used In The Blast Furnaces Of The Hanyang Iron And Steel Works And Other Suggested Improvements, Hanyang, Hupei, China, Andrew Jackson Seltzer Jan 1910

The Design And Installation Of An Apparatus For Dehydrating The Air Which Is Used In The Blast Furnaces Of The Hanyang Iron And Steel Works And Other Suggested Improvements, Hanyang, Hupei, China, Andrew Jackson Seltzer

Professional Degree Theses

"The Hanyang Iron and Steel Works is located in the city of Hanyang, Hupei Province, inland on the mighty Yangste Kiang, a distance of one thousand seventy-five kilometers from Shanghai. The Works is at the junction of the Yangste and Han Rivers and covers several acres. The Works was established by the Viceroy Tchan and was to have been located at Shanghai, but His Excellency, the Viceroy, was transferred to Wuchang, so he decided to locate the Works in Hanyang - just on the opposite bank of the Yangste, from Wuchang ... The Works originally consisted of two blast furnaces …


An Investigation Into The Causes Of Accidents To Shot Firers In Bituminous Coal Mines, George Edwin Lyman Jan 1910

An Investigation Into The Causes Of Accidents To Shot Firers In Bituminous Coal Mines, George Edwin Lyman

Professional Degree Theses

"In many cases the explosions which kill so many shot firers can be directly attributed to the presence of gas, or coal dust, but often there will be explosions of terrific violence in mines which are so wet as to preclude the possibility of dust being held in suspension in the air current, and where no gas has been detected in the history of the mine. Such an instance came under the writer's observation some time ago in which his opportunities of investigation were excellent, and the results of which may perhaps throw light on other apparently mysterious explosions of …


Reheating Compressed Air By Internal Combustion, Norman L. Ohnsorg Jan 1910

Reheating Compressed Air By Internal Combustion, Norman L. Ohnsorg

Professional Degree Theses

"The perfection of a reheater of high efficiency has been discussed and experimented upon for a period of time nearly as long as the application of compressed air itself. At the present time all the reheaters are by the external combustion of fuel as in the case of stoves or furnaces, where the air pipes are carried through the flames or is surrounded by steam pipes, or by some similar contrivance, all of which the heating efficiency of the fuel upon the compressed air is low, due to the great loss by radiation, and hot escaping gases. Reheating compressed air …


A New Copper District In Southern Arizona, Harry Carleton Chamberlain Jan 1910

A New Copper District In Southern Arizona, Harry Carleton Chamberlain

Professional Degree Theses

"Within the last two or three years, the copper mining industry has been growing at a remarkable rate. Perhaps not so much in the output of refined copper as in the exploitation and development of new fields. The panic of 1907 left its mark only too deep on many of the then producing mines. the inflated price of copper has aroused interest in those who owned or controlled small or undeveloped mines ... One of these districts is the one to be treated of in this report. It is not a new discovery, but rather one of the oldest camps …

Dredging, Swan River, Colorado, Henry William Lohman Jan 1910

Dredging, Swan River, Colorado, Henry William Lohman

Professional Degree Theses

"Operations for the extraction of gold from the gravels of this river, were started about ten years ago, at which time it was attempted by means of hydraulic elevators, later by means of the early type dredge, Risdon design, of which three were installed, and later still, an early type Bucyrus Dredge. These all resulted in failure, some alleged to have been due to impossibility of reaching bed-rock; small yardage capacity; and fraility [sic] of design. these have been overcome in the latest type of dredge constructed by the Bucyrus Company, description of which follow later. Dredging here, differs from …

Geology In The Vicinity Of Palmer, Mo., Alfred Nicks Detweiler, John Kavanaugh Forman Jan 1910

Geology In The Vicinity Of Palmer, Mo., Alfred Nicks Detweiler, John Kavanaugh Forman

Bachelors Theses

"This area has been of minor importance in the production of ore on a commercial scale, the ore mined being residual in clay in openings occuring sic in dolomite and with chert, all near the surface, the mining being done by individuals who felt disposed to sink a shaft on some supposedly mineralized spot in the hope of uncovering a few tons or ore. Mining operations have been carried on intermittently for more than a century, so we are told, the early miners breaking the rock by first heating it with a wood fire, and then suddenly cooling it with …


Metallurgical Operations Of Pyritic Smelting As Carried On At Ducktown, Tennessee, Byron John Snyder Jan 1910

Metallurgical Operations Of Pyritic Smelting As Carried On At Ducktown, Tennessee, Byron John Snyder

Professional Degree Theses

"The Practice of Pyritic Smelting is a comparatively new method. It has made possible the extraction of metals from very low grade ores economically. In fact, the direct smelting of sulphide ores of any sort is a very modern metallurgy. This method is extensively used in the United States and British Columbia and will prove to be very valuable in the future development of other regions. Pyritic smelting may be considered as the oxidizing smelting of pyritic ores in a blast furnace with the view to producing matte which collects the values. A short discussion of copper smelting in general, …


A Study Of The Losses Occurring In The Milling And Smelting Of Missouri-Kansas Zinc Ores, Horace T. Mann Jan 1910

A Study Of The Losses Occurring In The Milling And Smelting Of Missouri-Kansas Zinc Ores, Horace T. Mann

Professional Degree Theses

"At the present time the greater portion of the zinc mined in the Joplin District, is taken from what is known as the sheet-ground. What percentage of the zinc bearing rock is extracted or what percentage is left in the ground when the mine is abandoned, which owing to caving and other causes can not be recovered at some future time, is not known. It is to be hoped that the State Geological Survey will in the near future be able to take up the investigation of this subject. Until they do it will be impossible to make a reliable …
