Report discussing a committee being formed and rules along with regulations for metal mines.

Report presenting the latest research into safety and efficiency in mine tunneling obtained during 1911 and 1912.

From Preface: "The purpose of such publication is to point out the laws and regulations best adapted to increase safety and efficiency in the mineral industry of the United States and to aid legislative bodies in framing uniform mining laws. The State of California, by reason of its historic interest in mining and by reason of its great extent of mineral land and its vast mineral deposits, has been selected for the first bulletin of the of the State series. This bulletin is submitted to the miners and operators and all persons interested in the mining exterprises in California and in those of other States in the hope that it will be accorded the same generous reception as was given Bulletin 94."

Revised report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing studies conducted on the development of the oil-shale industry from a historical, technical, and economic perspective. Results of the studies are presented. This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Report displays a bibliography of numerous literature affirms air pollution has been a problem through the centuries.

From Introduction: "This bulletin is an attempt to assemble information in convenient form on effects of breathing dusts, largely in the mining and allied industries. The literature on this subject is so extensive that no attempt has been made to include all published material or all types of dust disease but only to assemble some of the more outstanding data on several aspects of the subject, especially with reference to silicosis."

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines covering petroleum laws of the U.S. and surrounding oil producing countries. As stated in the preface, "this bulletin includes the petroleum laws of (1) United States; (2) the several oil-producing States; (3) Canada; (4) Mexico; (5) the Republics of Central and South America" (p. iv).

From Introduction: "Problems connected with incidence, effects, determination, and control of dusts are still much before the public, although more information is available to the layman than when Bulletin 400, of which this publication is a revision, was issued in 1937. This revision includes data that have accumulated since 1937 and some that appeared previous thereto but were not available to the authors at that time."

From Scope and Arrangement of Review: "This review is confined to the technical literature of the origin, history, and foreign occurrences of saline potassium minerals, their mining, description, treatment, and physical-chemical relations. The literature on alunite, jarosite, and related minerals has also been included. The literature on potash minerals associated with the nitrate deposits and on the silicate minerals has been omitted as well as that on analytical methods, statistics, political economy, and the very large field of patent literature. The material in this review is arranged chronologically and alphabetically according to the authors within each year."

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing techniques for detecting and studying underground nuclear explosions. As stated in the introduction, this report results from a study of only one part of the contemplated inspection system, specifically the final phases embracing on-site investigations and mine examination techniques" (p. 1). This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

From Author's Explanation: "This bulletin is intended to include every legislative enactment of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania relating to the mining and mineral industries. The entire body of mining laws is set out for these obvious reasons: (1) To show the progress and advancement made, and the changes through which the enactments have passed; (2) an author may not assume the determination of what particular laws are in fact in effect, as this is within the jurisdiction of the courts alone; (3) it was at least necessary to set out all acts that had at any time been construed by the courts."

From Introduction: "The major purpose of this bulletin, as indicated in the preface by Dr. John W. Finch, Director of the Bureau of Mines, is to give a critical review of the coal-mining methods used in the principal producing countries of Europe, to describe the reasons underlying the adoption of these methods, and to contrast them with coal-mining methods employed in the United States."

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines over practices of metal mining. As stated in the introduction, "this bulletin summarizes mining practices of a large number of metal mines in the United states and foreign countries. The adaptation of mining methods best suited to the various natural conditions in mines is discussed, and comparative costs are presented" (p. 1). This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over studies conducted on the removal of magnetic materials from iron ores. As stated in the introduction, "this report discusses briefly operations and trends in magnetic separation, explains magnetic separation, describes and classifies the machines used, and outlines their development" (p. 1). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over mineral characteristics, uses, and problems. Descriptions of common minerals and their uses are presented and discussed. This report includes tables, maps, illustrations, and photographs.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of liquid fuels. As stated in the introduction, "this review contains abstracts of the technical literature and patents dealing with the history, development, and commercial application of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and related processes for the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide and the production of synthetic fuels and chemicals" (p. v).

From Abstract: "This bulletin describes mineral resources and industries of Arkansas. Items discussed include engineering, geological, and economic features; mineral reserves and resources; uses and markets; and the current status and future potential of mineral commodities available in the State."
