Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Telegraphic Mining Code Alphabetically Arranged: For the Use of Mining Companies, Mining Engineers, and All Persons Interested in Mines
The want of a Telegraphic Code for Mining purposes has been for some time felt by the Author in his protes sioual practice; he also has reason to believe that it is a requirement universally admitted by persons interested in Mines Abroad and in the Colonies, by Mining Companies, and by inspecting Engineers. Not only is such a Code needed in order to reduce the expense of telegraphic communication within reasonable limits, but also to secure secrecy, where desired, for the messages transmitted.
Although other Codes already exist, and notably the well-known A B C Electric Telegraphic Code, their scope is too general to render them of much value for this particular purpose, especially as Mining involves the use of a very large number of technical expressions, which none of the books referred to contain.
The Author has therefore been induced to compile the present work, with the object of supplying this want to some extent.
The arrangement adopted is Alphabetical, that being undoubtedly the simplest and quickest for reference.
