Five Hundred Tests of Various Coals in House-Heating Boilers
From Introduction Purpose of Tests: "The tests on which this report is based were made during or before 1917 to obtain a measure of relative heating value and burning characteristics of the various fuels when burned in domestic heating furnaces with attendance comparable to that given ordinarily. In all, 184 different shipments of coals, of which 172 were from various mines in this country, were burned in four low-pressure heating boilers; 534 individual tests were made. The primary object of tests was to report on each individual coal, but it was considered advisable to summarize the results to if any general deductions could be made. This report gives some of the results of this study in condensed form."

Methods, Costs, and Safety in Stripping and Mining Coal, Copper Ore, Iron Ore, Bauxite, and Pebble Phosphate
From Extent of Open-Pit Mining and Purpose of this Publication: "Various methods and machines are employed, and costs are low; in fact, costs have to be low because coal and ores command a low price on the market. These factors, together with queries on methods and costs of stripping and the increase in open-pit mining, have justified investigation by the Bureau of Mines for this form of mining and publication of the results in this report."

Magnetic Concentration of Iron Ores of Alabama
From Introduction: "The Birmingham district holds large deposits of red hematite, coal, and flux extends from Springville on the northeast to below on the southwest. The work was begun in July, 1923, and ores from a number of points within the Birmingham district have since been studied. A method of magnetic concentration has been investigated which, it is believed, will successfully remove a large part of the gangue and incur only a small loss of iron.

Oxides in Pig Iron: Their Origin and Action in the Steel-Making Process
From Introduction: "In summarizing the evidence in the literature it is apparent that there is general agreement among furnace men on the existence of so-called "bad-iron." It is also evident that the existence of dissolved or occluded gases is not an explanation. The presence of suspended oxides has been proved, and at least one plausible explanation for their formation has been given."

Rock Bursts in the Lake Superior Copper Mines, Keweenaw Point, Michigan
From Introduction: "The effect of rock pressure may be general and continuous disintegration and reduction in size of pillars of ore and rock left for the support of the workings, resulting in the collapse of hanging wall and the closing of stopes, drifts, and shafts, or the action may be sudden and violent and aside from seriously affecting the workings may present a real hazard to the operation of mines. The object in the preparation of this report is to add to the accumulated information and from the facts presented to make suggestions for protective measures to be taken when possible."
