520			_a"Getting Gold: A Gold-Mining Handbook for Practical Men" by J. C. F. Johnson is a practical treatise focused on the gold mining industry, likely written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide for prospectors, miners, and students, offering insights into the processes of gold extraction, geological conditions, and the necessary knowledge for successful mining operations. It aims to equip readers with both theoretical understanding and practical hints to navigate the complexities of mining for gold. At the start of the work, the author reflects on the historical significance and allure of gold, emphasizing its universal desirability and high value throughout history. He discusses various ancient and modern methods of gold extraction, touching on both alluvial and reef mining approaches. The opening chapters set the stage for a deeper exploration of the industry by outlining the primary sources of gold and the complexities involved in extracting it, including references to significant historical discoveries, gold's geological occurrence, and the evolution of mining technologies over the years.
