ref: 1909 George J. Young Ventilating-System at the Comstock Mines, Nevada. Transactions of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. Vol. XLI 1910. (Spokane Meeting, September 1909)
text: A formation that is liable to fool the prospector, I found in the Oconguas district... In prospecting along the stream ... I got some rich pannings. The gold was rather angular and I decided that it had not traveled far. I proceeded up the hill... panning the manto and getting "colors" all the way up... I found a veinlet about 15 in. wide and very rich in gold. Trenching along its outcrop showed that it extended about 100 ft. and then pinched out altogether. A winze sunk on the veinlet showed that it "petered out" entirely at 25 or 30 ft. Further work showed that small veinlets of this kind ran through the porphyry, and that the gold in the manto and the stream came from these elos, as the Nicaraguans call them, and not from a large, well-defined vein, such as I had hoped to find. Although I got remarkably rich pannings from the hill, the discovery was of no economic importance.

Senses: examples: text: In the catalogue of those endued with sovereign power it had for its votaries Dion the Syracusian, Julianos the Roman, and Khosroes, the Persian emperor; among the leaders of armies it had Chabrias and Phokion, those brave generals of the Athenians; among mathematicians, those leading stars of science, Eudoxos, Arkhimedes, and Euklides; among biographers, the inimitable Plutarchos; among physicians, the admirable Galenos; among rhetoricians, those unrivalled orators, Demosthenes and Cicero; among critics, that prince of philologists, Longinos; and among poets, the most learned and majestic Virgilius?[…]In the next place, it is necessary to speak concerning the qualifications requisite in a legitimate student of the philosophy of Platon, previous to which I shall just notice the absurdity of supposing that a mere knowledge of the Greek tongue, however great that knowledge may be, is alone sufficient to the understanding the sublime doctrines of Platon; for a man might as well think he can understand Arkhimedes without a knowledge of the elements of geometry, merely because he can read him in the original.
ref: 1881, The Platonist, volume I, pages 136, 141, column 1:
text: That records Plutarch’s view of engineering, not Arkhimedes’. Plutarch is also wrong: Arkhimedes ‘deigned’ to write a work On sphere-making (which is lost), and The Method (which was rediscovered in 1906). Arkhimedes developed some of his mathematics using a mechanical method, based on the lever principle, by which he could discover mathematical results, which he then set about proving. Moreover, it is highly significant that Arkhimedes wrote about his method.
