Estimates of 80% coal recovery in strip mining and 5O% recovery in auger mining are commonly used in reserve base calculations, according to a Bureau study team. A survey of coal mining states east of the Mississippi was conducted to test the validity of those figures.

Based on the belief that operating details are a definite contributing factor to major economies, this paper traces the development of crushing cavity design in Symons cone crushers to attain maximum liner utilization. Wear rates are analyzed and compared in this presentation and drawings illustrate succeeding design changes.

A properly designed pre- and post-grouting program aided with coherent construction sequence and adoption of flexible design approach provide a practical combination to solve excavation problems in a hostile rock environment: intensely fractured and sheared. The Pacheco Pumping Plant demonstrates the utility of an engineered grouting program.

NATURE produces iron ore abundantly in many regions of the world, especially in Italy where not only is there a great abundance of it but also there are various kinds. In these our Tuscan parts it is a very familiar thing, since we are situated close to the island of Elba which is so overflowing and rich in this ore that it surpasses every other place where it is found. Thus not only do the regions of Tuscany share its great quantity because of their proximity, but more than two-thirds of Italy as well as Sicily and Corsica are supplied, and perhaps some more distant place. In addition, this ore is of such perfection that it

Selected technological developments applicable to lead and zinc mineral processing and changes in Australian concentration practices made since 1770 are reviewed. Laboratory and pilot plant studies of two new ores have been conducted since 1770. These have resulted in final flowsheet proposals which are described. New production capacity since IT0 has been based on plant expansion or the retreatment of oxidised tailings from plants operating pre-1940ts. Major developments in existing plants have come from the application of computer control to crushing, grinding and flotation and the installation of on-stream analysis systems. Flowsheet configurations have been altered in a number of plants. Selected research topics applicable to lead and zinc processing are also reviewed.

Worthington-Misfires in Non-metallic Mining (Limestone) 18 Misfires in Anthracite Coal Mines BY T. D. THOMAS, * LANSFORD, PA. (New York Meeting, February, 1929) IN THIS paper, major attention is given to misfires in mines where electric multiple shot-firing is the system used. Misfires are sometimes caused by one action or condition and at other times by a combination of two or more. They may be divided into two classes: (1) those caused by workers in the mines, (2) mechanical or manufacturer's causes. The second cause will be discussed first.
