Excerpt from American Mine Accounting: Methods and Forms Employed by Leading Mining Companies While engaged as accountant with various copper-mining companies in the Lake Superior District, covering a period of twelve years, I was impressed with the fact that the subject Of mine accounting was not being given the attention in technical literature that it might well receive, there being to my knowledge only three books published on the subject in the English language, one in this country, one in England and one in Scotland. The result was that I set about the compilation Of the material in this volume, which are the practical working systems Of companies representa tive in their particular fields Of mining, believing that this treatment of the subject would be more generally appreciated than a theoretical discussion.
