Ratings and reviews

This volume of one of the two best written mining magazines in the world (the other being the Mining and Scientific Press) covers the mining world in 1914-an era when copper and zinc were needed for the war effort. Ample coverage is given to the copper industry, and in particular several articles on Utah mines and mining. The August 8, 1914 issue, for example, has several interesting stories about Utah mining and smelting: p 241 Metallurgical Plants near Salt Lake City, including map of part of Salt Lake area, mill photos, and detailed plant equipment lists. p 248 Early Mining in Utah, including statewide map of mining districts circa 1914. p 253 The Mines Operating Co of Park City, and the Utah Apex Remodeled Mill. p 354 a short description of the Park City Milling Company. p 262-263 has a series of 14 photographs of Utah Mines, including Park City, Eureka, Mammoth, and Bingham. A rare shot of the old Telegraph mine, now consumed by the Bingham Pit, is also reproduced. p 268-269 a nice panoramic shot of the Bingham pit. Additional stories on American mining in the Southwest and Rocky Mtns can also be found: p 167-269 a nice overview summary of the Burro Mountain Cu District near Silver City, NM p 297-299 photos and descriptiion of the raosting plant at Murray, Utah. p 331-333 The Organ Mtn District near Las Cruces, NM including the Mormon Mine, is described. p 535-537 Cripple Creek and Leadville photos
