DOWNLOAD EBOOKLeading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining work in this important re-issue of "Metal Mines of Washington." Unavailable since 1921, this important publication was originally published by the Washington Geologic Survey and has been unavailable for nearly ninety years. Widely considered a masterpiece on the Washington Mining Industry, "Metal Mines of Washington" sheds light on the important details of Washington's early mining years. Featured are details on hundreds of gold, silver, copper, lead and other metallic mineral mines. Included are hard to find details on the mineral resources of this state, as well as the locations of historic mines. Lavishly illustrated with maps and historic photos and complete with a glossary to explain any technical terms found in the text, this is one of the most important works on mining in the State of Washington. No prospector or miner should be without it if they are interested in mining in Washington. Note: This edition is a facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As such, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.

Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... GLOSSARY A Amphibole, the generic name for the group of bisilicate minerals whose chief rock-making member is hornblende. It is often pre-fixed to those rocks which have hornblende as a prominent constituent. Amygdaloid, a vesicular igneous rock whose cavities have become filled with secondary minerals. The fillings are called amygdules. Aplite, an acidic phase of a granitic rock occurring as a dike. Argentiferous, silver-bearing. Argentite; Silver glance, a silver sulphide, Ag2S. Contains 87 per cent silver. Argillite, an argillaceous metamorphosed sedimentary rock, that may or may not possess a slaty clevage. Arkose, a sedimentary rock composed of material derived from the disintegration of granite, transported and redeposited with little sorting. Arrastre, apparatus for grinding ores by means of a heavy stone dragged around upon a circular bed. The arrastre is chiefly used for ores containing free gold, and amalgamation is combined with the grinding. Use now practically obsolete. Arsenolite, a white arsenious oxide, As2O3. Arsenopyrite; Mispickel, a sulpharsenide of iron; FeAsS. Contains 46 per cent arsenic. Augite, the commonest rock-making pyroxene. Contains large amounts of alumina and iron. Auriferous, containing gold. Azurite, blue copper carbonate, CuC03Cu (OH)2. Contains 46 per cent copper. B Back, that part of a lode which is nearest the surface in relation to any portions of the mine; thus the back of a level or a stope is that part of the unstoped lode which is above. Barite, sulphate of barium BaSO; also called heavy spar, from its high specific gravity. Basalt, in a broad sense basalt includes all the dark basic volcanic rocks. It is the most common extrusive rock. Basic, a general descriptive term for those igneous rocks...
