FOREWORD
Since 1918, Albert H. Fay's Glossary of the Mining and Mineral Industry has
been the authoritative dictionary of technical and local terms relating to metal
mining, coal mining, quarrying, metallurgy, and other mineral industries. Through-
out the English-speaking world, it has helped to standardize the expressions and
terms in common use by those associated with these industries.
Because the demand for this glossary has been mounting steadily to the point
where urgency is indicated, the Bureau of Mines has decided to republics the
volume, which has been out of print for many years because the plates wore out
from frequent use. In reprinting Fay's original work, it is recognized that new
terms and expressions have come into the language; new usages have been applied
to some of the old terms; and some of the old terms have become obsolete. The
Bureau, therefore, will welcome and appreciate suggestions and comments from
users of the glossary with respect to changes in definitions and explanations, as
well as the inclusion of new words and phrases. It is hoped that, with their help,
a new, revised, and improved glossary can be published at an early date.
