COMMENTS OF THE PRESS 



It is a pleasure to record the publication of another book by Professor Ketchum. 

 His books are always examples of what technical treatises should be, and this volume 

 is no exception to the rule. This volume is a self-contained, concise and valuable text- 

 book for the student or structural engineer who wishes to become familiar with the 

 design of mine structures. Canadian Engineer, July 4, 1912. 



This is a new book in a field never previously covered in a satisfactory manner. 

 The various subjects described and illustrated are based on good practical working 

 plants and make them particularly valuable for reference. The author is to be highly 

 commended for producing so useful a book. Mining and Scientific Press, July 6, 1912. 



So far as we are aware this book has no counterpart in recent technical literature.
