We strongly recommend every board ofdirectors to carefully peruse-Ithe pages treating of the applicability of diamond drilling to auriferous deposits, and, under certain conditions, its advantages over shaft sinking for systematic prospecting, both from the surface and underground. The author has given us a valuable volume of eminently practical data that should be in the possession of those interested in mining.”—Mining Journal. Mr. Denny's handbook is the first English work to give a detailed account of the use of modem diamond core-drills in searching for mineral deposits. The work contains much information of a practical character, including particulars of the cost of apparatus and of working.—Nature. FIELD TESTING FOR GOLD AND SILVER.
