Excerpt from Iron Ores: Their Occurrence, Valuation and ControlThe material presented in this volume has been worked over, at intervals, during many years of professional activity, and cer tain sections have, as later noted, been published in various technical journals and in private and official reports.The volume as it now stands represents an attempt to discuss iron ores not merely in their geologic and technical relations, but in their more general relations to industrial conditions. The field thus outlined is broad, and the risk of failure is correspond ingly great. But on the other hand there have been exceptional opportunities for studying the iron-ore situation from several widely different standpoints, and something more than a purely technical treatment seemed to be both justified and desirable. The industries based upon iron ores are of interest, directly or indirectly, to the entire business and financial world, and have also to some degree become matters of political concern. Any adequate discussion of the general iron-ore situation must there fore take into consideration many factors not commonly regarded by the geologist or the engineer, and too often passed by as not susceptible of exact definition or scientific treatment. It is hoped that this volume will prove to be, if not conclusive, at least suggestive in these regards.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
