hi all can admin please make this a sticky ?

I intend to add loads of pdf files for small scale mining they will include prospecting mining methods track work boreing drilling the sinking of shafts timbering and much more.

here's the first one I will be adding to this whenever I can also thinking of converting some of my own scanned mining books into pdf files for everyone to read.

also a warning some of the files im uploading are large and may gobble up data usage best to download at a library or on Wi-Fi networks

http://www.survivorlibrary.com/library/modern_practice_in_mining_vol_2-shafts_1908.pdf
modern practice in mining 1908 lots of info on coal sinking of shafts geology etc.

I will be adding more when I have the time
 
* Hunting the yellow

That one was 11meg but was quickly resized to 5.8meg and can also made it text searchable - but that brings it back to a bigger size.

If you have a drop box account I am happy to Resize and enhance the PDF's for you.

here's some more warning large files also most of these books I have the hard copies for if anyone wants to view just 1 or two pages or if over time the links break for whatever reason also these are some of the best books I've found so far there are a few others I have that are old but I can't seam to find the internet copies of them. but these pdf files would be the best to view and study for the green horn who knows little about mining however you need practical knowledge of doing something too for example digging a shaft or building a poppet headframe not just what's in a book

mining engineers handbook vols 1 and 2 1940 loads of mining info large file most likely the best covers a lot of things in small scale mining

another good book on mining if anyone's interested might be old but the knowledge and know how is still very important

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89083899450;view=1up;seq=210

hathitrust won't let you download ..... at least not without making you jump through a bunch of hoops

try this https://ia800200.us.archive.org/23/items/cu31924004413435/cu31924004413435.pdf
same as above but you can download it

save it when you got it so that if they break the link you still have a copy to read
