""Anthracite Losses and Reserves in Pennsylvania"" provides a comprehensive technical and statistical analysis of the coal mining industry during its peak in the early 20th century. Authored by Dever C. Ashmead, this seminal study examines the geological distribution of anthracite coal across the Pennsylvania fields and assesses the efficiency of extraction methods used at the time. The work meticulously details the volume of coal remaining in the ground versus the amount lost due to mining operations, pillar abandonment, and environmental factors.
Through extensive data and expert observation, the text highlights the challenges of resource conservation and the economic implications of mining waste. It serves as an essential historical record for those interested in the industrial development of the United States, geological survey techniques, and the environmental impact of large-scale extraction. ""Anthracite Losses and Reserves in Pennsylvania"" remains a valuable primary source for researchers studying energy history, mining engineering, and the economic geography of the Appalachian region.
