Excerpt from A Manual of Underground Surveying
The author has tried iii this work to meet the often expressed wish of students, teachers, and practicing surveyors for a book giving the best of American practice. As a teacher the author found it necessary to work up lectures upon mining surveying. These have formed the basis of this work.
The author makes no pretense of presenting original material. This book is frankly a compilation from various sources. Articles printed in the various magazines and publications of the technical societies have been drawn upon freely, as have also the catalogues and literature of the different firms of instrument makers.
The descriptions of surveys, or methods of work, given by the engineers who made them, are reprinted in full, as they were printed in the publications to which credit is given. They represent best surveying practice, and fulfill the purpose as an object lesson to the student better in their original form than would a review or synopsis.
While much of the material given has appeared in print before, much of it is new; written for this particular purpose by engineers who are busy every day with the actual underground work. The engineers of many of the largest mines of this country have kindly furnished the author with detailed descriptions of the methods in use at their properties. To these engineers we extend our sincere thanks. Without their assistance this book could not have been written.
Realizing fully that there are usually several equally good ways of doing a thing, the author has tried to give a description of the several most-used and best ways of doing each thing, without allowing his personal preference for any particular method to prejudice it.
The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to the various instrument makers who have furnished cuts to illustrate the instruments used in underground work.
