Notes On Mine Operations Of The American Zinc Company Of Tennessee, Homer Kent Sherry Jan 1916

Notes On Mine Operations Of The American Zinc Company Of Tennessee, Homer Kent Sherry

Professional Degree Theses

"The zinc ores mined at and near Mascot, Tennessee, are found in the upper part of the Knox dolomite which according to Keith was laid down in the middle Cambrian or Silurian age. This formation has a thickness of several thousand feet and is composed of layers of dolomite, limestone, sandstone, shale and some chert. The ore bearing portion at least is much folded with minor faulting and high brecciation. The axis of the folds lie Northeast by Southwest with the faulting in the same direction. The ore being mined is found on the Southeast dip in a fairly definite …

Notes On The Development Of The Flotation Process For Concentrating Copper And Iron Sulphide Ore, Holman Thompson Marshall Jan 1916

Notes On The Development Of The Flotation Process For Concentrating Copper And Iron Sulphide Ore, Holman Thompson Marshall

Bachelors Theses

"The first flotation machines was installed at the Magna Mill of the Utah Copper Co. in August and September, 1914. The outbreak of the war in Europe having made necessary the shutting down of the Arthur Mill of the same company, the flotation plant was installed at Magna for the purpose of carrying on experiments which had been in process at Arthur. Enough experimentation had been done with the small laboratory machine at Arthur, and results obtained were favorable enough to warrant the installation of a full size Janney machine"--page 1.

The Relation Of The Composition Of Petroleum To Its Origin And Occurrence, John Warder Shotwell Jan 1915

The Relation Of The Composition Of Petroleum To Its Origin And Occurrence, John Warder Shotwell

Bachelors Theses

"Petroleum Is a mixture of hydrocarbons. It is a liquid varying from colorless, through yellow and brown to black. It varies from 1.0 to 0.80 in specific gravity, which corresponds to 10° to 45° Beaume. It varies widely in physical properties, such as viscosity, ignition point, polarization of light, etc. Chemically it is composed essentially of carbon and hydrogen, but usually contains impurities such as sulphur and nitrogen. The carbon and hydrogen combine with each other to form certain series, or "chains"--Chemical and Physical Nature, page 1.

An Investigation In Treating A Gold Ore From Custer, South Dakota, Theodore Saunders Dunn

Professional Degree Theses

"The following investigation was undertaken to determine the adaptibility [sic] to amalgamation and cyanidation of a certain ore from the property of Mr. Charles Bush near Custer, South Dakota. A preliminary sample of the ore was obtained and laboratory tests made upon it. A ton lot of the ore was then put through the ore dressing laboratory at the South Dakota School of Mines. Upon examination the large sample was found to differ in value and to some extent in character from the preliminary sample, but the scheme of treatment worked out for the first sample was found to work …

Geological Mapping Of An Area Along The Frisco Railroad Between Cuba And Saint James, Willard Miles Benham, William Elliott Jan 1915

Geological Mapping Of An Area Along The Frisco Railroad Between Cuba And Saint James, Willard Miles Benham, William Elliott

Bachelors Theses

"The chief object of the work has been the location of the Roubidoux-Jefferson City contact, if it occurred within a mile of the railroad. Distances and positions along the track were obtained by the use of a map and by counting telephone poles. Other locations were made by obtaining their bearing and distance from these points by the use of a compass and by pacing. Elevations were carried by aneroid barometers, using the railroad elevations at mile points as bench marks. An attempt has been made to locate all important outcrops; but these are shown only on the field map. …

A Comparison Of Crushing Machines, Clyde Willis Hall, Walter Henry Wager Jan 1914

A Comparison Of Crushing Machines, Clyde Willis Hall, Walter Henry Wager

Bachelors Theses

"Much has been written on the comparative efficiency of the various sorts of crushing machines used in the art of Ore Dressing, but it must be confessed that the subject has by no means been reduced to one of the exact sciences as yet. This is rather a sad condition of affairs, for as is of course apparent to the most casual observer, the whole fabric of ore dressing rests and depends to a large degree on the efficiency and economy of the crushing machinery. Inefficient crushing means high costs, irrespective of the thoroughness and cheapness with which the ensuing …

Investigation With Rock Drills, Tirso CastillóN

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this thesis is to investigate the different shapes of bits in rock drilling. My intention at first was to run more extensive tests on bits, but due to the large amount of work necessary in rigging up the apparatus, and the maintainence sic of same, I found it necessary to reduce my work to two bits, which I name Flat and Regular, the Flat Bit being an invention of Professor C. R. Forbes, and the Regular Bit being the common one used by the Leyner Company"--page 2.

Leaching Copper Tailings, Howard Gove Halsey, Frederick Gallaway Moses Jan 1914

Leaching Copper Tailings, Howard Gove Halsey, Frederick Gallaway Moses

Bachelors Theses

"There are, scattered throughout the country, enormous amounts of rock that, by the discovery of a quick, cheap, and practiable sic method of extracting their metallic content could be turned into valuable ores. This has already been accomplished for gold and silver by the adaption of the cyanide method to their treatment. The next in order, both because of the value of the metal and the amount of material available in mill dumps and in the ground, is copper. there are dumps containing millions of tons of this material lying idle because of the fact that with the present methods …

Methods Of Prospecting And Estimating Ore Bodies Of The Wisconsin Zinc And Lead District, Guy Henry Cox Jan 1914

Methods Of Prospecting And Estimating Ore Bodies Of The Wisconsin Zinc And Lead District, Guy Henry Cox

Professional Degree Theses

"The stratigraphy and structure of the Wisconsin Zinc and Lead District are remarkably simple; so simple in fact that one is liable to under estimate their importance in relation to the ore deposits. But four formations are of interest to one operating in this district, all of which are Ordovician in age and which in ascending order are, - the St. Peter sandstone, the Platteville limestone, the Galena dolomite, and the Maquoketa shale"--Geology - Stratigraphy - General, page 1.

Bituminous Coal Mining In Northern Missouri, True Walter Blake Jan 1914

Bituminous Coal Mining In Northern Missouri, True Walter Blake

Professional Degree Theses

"Missouri was the first state west of the Mississippi to produce a commercial output of coal and, although in later years some of the western states have produced a larger yield, still the Missouri mines bid air to hold their present standing as there are hundreds of acres of virgin coal land in this state that will be able to be worked profitably after the eastern coal operators have worked out their thicker veins of coal. The coal is won from the grasp of Mother Earth by either room-and-pillar or longwall systems in the larger mines, each method being employed …

Amalgamation And Refining Of High Grade Silver Ores Containing Arsenic And Antimony, Edwin Bryant Thornhill, Robert Emmett Dye

Professional Degree Theses

"The advantage of shipping refined silver bullion over the shipment of concentrate to a smelter has been apparent to mine operators in this district for years but not ill recently was the project undertaken by the Buffalo Mine Limited, Cobalt, Ont., Canada. Early in 1912 experiments were conducted by H. G. S. Anderson with this end in view. The results of these experiments led to the erection of an amalgamation plant, the design and construction of which was carried out by Mr. Anderson...It is not the hope in this paper to set forth facts that are entirely new as similar …
