Abstract
THE fundamental problem in mine surveying is the connexion between the surface and underground surveys and their relations to the boundaries of the property. In this book, which, unfortunately, the author did not live to see published, a successful effort has been made to present clearly and accurately modern methods of mine surveying with special reference to the correlation of the various parts of the work involved. Careful and practical descriptions of the instruments used are given, followed by details of survey practice and methods of preparing plans and sections and written records. Later chapters deal with stope surveys, estimation of ore reserves, and borehole surveying. The whole treatment is well proportioned, clearly written, effectively illustrated, and copiously provided with examples and calculations. Colliery surveying is not specifically dealt with, but the metalliferous mine surveyor has here a thoroughly up-to-date guide to all the leading features of his varied profession. The work was written by an Australian surveyor who had a wide experience, and his book represents the successful accomplishment of a difficult task.
