Riemer, J. Shaft-sinking in difficult cases; tr. from the Germ. by J. W. Brough. *$3.50. Lippincott.
“The volume is confined to a description of means that have to be resorted to when ordinary methods of sinking cannot be applied on account of excessive influx of water, the means described being shaft sinking by hand, boring shafts, the freezing method of sinking, and the sinking-drum method.” (Nature.) “The book is divided into four main sections, devoted respectively to (1) Shaft sinking by hand, (2) Shaft sinking by boring, (3) The freezing method, and (4) The sinking drum process. Concrete examples are given of the application of each method. The folding plates in the back of the book amply illustrate the constructive details involved.” (Engin. N.)
