Practical Field Geology (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Practical Field Geology Geological maps are just as necessary as ordinary maps of mine Workings, and are not much harder to make when one knows how to go about it. It is the lack of this knowledge which is a serious handicap to many mining men who are naturally keen and intelligent Observers, but who fail to record and corre late their Observations. They Often carry an immense amount of geological data in their minds and make use Of it when looking over their mine maps; but such mental pictures lack the graphic quality found only in good geologic maps and sections, which usually meet with instant approval on the part Of practical men. Geological literature usually deals with results rather than with the methods of Obtaining them, and the terms employed are Often of a highly technical nature, so that the text is more or less unintelligible to one who has not had training in the subject.
