Book Description

Excerpt from Modern Practice in Mining, Vol. 4: The Ventilation of Mines So far as the author is aware there is no work devoted entirely to a comprehensive consideration of the subject of mine ventilation, though there are several excellent books which treat of certain sides of the subject. It is hoped, therefore, that this little volume may be of some service to the young mining student in arriving at an elementary knowledge of the principles and practice of mine ventilation. For permission to use those of the figures which have not been specially drawn for illustrating the text, the author desires to tender his thanks to the various authors, manufacturers, and institutions from whom they have been borrowed.
