Excerpt from Mineral Deposits of New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania The Lehigh Valley is the largest producer of slate and cement in the country, and the conditions represented at the different quarries and the methods used in handling these substances are representative of the best American practice. One of the anthracite basins will be touched at Lansford, Pennsylvania. Opportunity will be given to see the complicated structural features of a mine where stripping has been practised on a large scale and where the famous Mammoth coal seam is exposed. Opportunity also will be given to observe the methods of underground working. The iron deposit at Cornwall is an especially fine exhibit of a replacement body of magnetite, clearly associated with igneous intrusion and related activity. The open-pit method of working has exposed the major structure, and virtually the whole range of mineral and rock product can be seen in the open. Opportunity will be given at all these places to gather samples of typical material. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Undeveloped Mineral Resources of Pennsylvania Tax rates, carried over from other days when the mineral industries were prosperous, are a great handicap to those same industries today when they are struggling to keep alive. To reduce the tax rate will cripple the counties in their efforts to meet the service demands of their citizens. The answer appears to be a severance tax, that is, a straight tax on the gross value of the several minerals as they are removed from the mine, quarry, or well. Such a tax is levied in proportion to the mineral removed, at a time. When the sale of that mineral makes the Operator best able to pay the tax. Strictly such' a tax is in the nature of a deferred land tax, and may be computed on that basis. It avoids all the uncertainty as to the quality, quantity, etc. Of a mineral in the ground. If the tax is based on the gross receipts from the sale of the mineral, it automatically adjusts itself to the changing values of the minerals taxed, and taxes all minerals equally.

Excerpt from The Mineralogy of Pennsylvania One of the most active collectors during this period was William Sampson Vaux, vice-president of the Academy of Natural Sciences, whose collection, now the chief mineral exhibit in the Academy, is one of the most magnificent in America. It is not unlikely that he acquired his interest in minerals through his uncle, Joseph Sampson (1767 - 1826) who made perhaps the earliest collection in America, which was later given to Haverford College.
