The gold mining industry has grown considerably since 1891 and it appeared to the writer that the present would be a propitious time to bring out a similar work but with a considerably enlarged scope. What has been aimed at is to make "Getting Gold" a compendium in specially concrete form of useful information respecting the processes of winning from the soil and the after treatment of gold and gold ores including some original practical discoveries by the author. Practical information original and selected is given to mining company directors mine managers quartz mill operators and prospectors.
