Excerpt from Proceedings of the Coal Mining Institute of America, Pittsburgh, Pa, 1907 Again: Has the loss in mining been taken into considera tion? If not, this would materially reduce the period estimated as being the life of the coal fields. There is much uncertainty as to what per cent. Of loss in mining is, and I fear it is going to be much greater than suspected. We often hear the statement made that 95 per cent. Of the coal area now under operation is being recovered. I think this statement is probably far re moved from the truth. I will grant that at some Operations 95 per cent. Of the coal is, perhaps, being recovered, but there cer tainly are cases, even now, where 75 per cent. Is not being gotten. The various estimates referred to are certainly of great interest and value, and should be reminders that the coal seams of this State, and of all the coal bearing States, should be most care fully mined, and that no losses should be allowed that can pos sibly be avoided in mining the coal and removing it from the position it has occupied since its formation. I think some papers on these lines would not be amiss and would suggest that some one volunteer to take up this work for presentation at our winter meeting.

This book will surely be the most readable, best informed, most complete account of Harry Oppenheimer's life there is ever likely to be.' – Bill Nasson, historian and author As chairman of Anglo American and De Beers, Harry Oppenheimer held sway over his family's gold and diamond empire for a quarter of a century. He combined a passion for commerce with a streak of creative genius. In this, the first comprehensive biography of Oppenheimer, Michael Cardo has produced a vivid portrait based on unrestricted access to his subject's private papers and interviews with Oppenheimer's relatives and associates. Cardo brings to life the places, people and events that shaped Oppenheimer's career at the intersection of business and politics. From the diamond fields of Kimberley, where his father, Ernest, arrived to seek his fortune in 1902, through his long apprenticeship as heir apparent, to Harry Oppenheimer's emergence on the world stage as a magnate and monarch in his own right – the 'King of Diamonds' and the man with the Midas touch – Cardo tells the story of a dynasty. As a financier, philanthropist and public figure, Oppenheimer straddles the history of 20th-century South Africa. In the 1950s the National Party regarded him as a threat to Afrikanerdom, the sinister embodiment of English 'money power'. Forty years later, Nelson Mandela praised Oppenheimer as a nation-builder, a key figure in South Africa's transition to democracy. Yet nowadays, Oppenheimer is demonised in some quarters as the archetype of 'white monopoly capital' and blamed, in part, for democracy's disappointing dividends. Meticulously researched and superbly written, this authoritative work sheds new light on the multifaceted legacy of a renowned South African industrialist.
