The data has been gathered from many sources, involving a large amount of research, which extended over the face of the globe. In procuring this information the compiler has corresponded with some two hundred persons, to many of whom the author is indebted for whatever credit may be attached to his efforts. The result will be found of deep interest to all concerned in mining and mining matters.
