Engineering changes
This chapter examines mining and its associated work processes during a significant period of transition, from the late nineteenth through to the early twentieth century. The nature of this transition in three mining camps – Butte, Montana; Johannesburg, South Africa; Broken Hill, New South Wales – is briefly described, to illustrate how in each place, science and technology came to enable a new reliance on economies of scale and the successful t…

The Assistance of Science and Capital”
This article examines the role of technology and applied science in British Columbia's hard rock mining industry. It focuses on a transitional period, from the decline following the gold rushes of the mid century through to the emergence in 1906 of Cominco, a vertically-integrated mining and smelting complex typical of the large mining companies of the twentieth century. Although many contemporary observers held a naive faith in the possibilities…
The Engineering of Herbert Hoover
This article offers a revisionist account of Herbert Hoover's career as a mining engineer, looking particularly at his activities in Australia and China where he first established his reputation and his fortune. The young Hoover went to Western Australia in 1897 to work for the British firm of Bewick, Moreing. Hoover's employers sent him to China in early 1899. He became a partner two years later and returned to Australia to direct Bewick, Morein…
La Enojosa Cuestión de Emery”
This article will argue that a seemingly trivial dispute between the Nicaraguan government and an American lumber company operating on Nicaragua's Mosquito Coast escalated to become a major source of tension between the U.S. State Department and Nicaragua, as well as a catalyst that drew U.S. banks into Nicaragua. Despite its significance, the convoluted story of this dispute has attracted little scholarly attention. The importance of the Emery c…
Telling Differences
This article describes the competing meanings that U.S. and Canadian historians have assigned to their common borders and respective Wests. It compares how frontier,region, and a common border have shaped U.S. and Canadian histories and identities,as well as the complicity of historiography in telling the differences. Assuming that neither the nation state nor national identity is fixed or absolute, it argues that similarities and differences in …

Merchants, Mining, and Concessions on Nicaragua's Mosquito Coast
This article reassesses the influence of American business on US foreign policy towards Nicaragua, 1893-1912. It describes three episodes that involved American interests in Nicaragua - the Reyes uprising of 1899, the Emery claim of 1903-1909, and the US & Nicaragua Mining Company claim of 1908-1912 - as evidence for a different interpretation of US policy, one which stresses how the influence and material interests of American 'men on the spot' …

Copper and Class Struggle
THESE TWO BOOKS examine labour relations in copper mining in the American southwest That is about the only thing they have in common: they are of very different quality and interest; they look at different periods; and their authors draw different conclusions.

Roaring Days
In the 1890s, Rossland was the most important mining centre in southeastern British Columbia. In Roaring Days, Jeremy Mouat examines many different aspects of mining, from work underground to corporate strategies. He also brings to life the unique individuals who were a part of this history – the miners who toiled long hours under unimaginable working conditions, the citizens of Rossland who built a bustling town out of the wilderness, and the mi…

Vic Midgley Writes Home
IN FEBRUARY 1939, Victor Midgley wrote from New Zealand to his old friend Angus Maclnnis in Canada. Midgley's analysis of contemporary events in New Zealand in the letter is a fascinating one, and his experiences prior to departing for New Zealand meant that he was a particularly well-qualified observer of union and political affairs. Midgley had been an important figure in western Canada's labour movement from the 1910s through to the Depression…

The Genesis of Western Exceptionalism
century to the First World War have given rise to the thesis of western exceptionalism. The main premise of this thesis holds that western Canadian workers, particularly those in British Columbia, accepted the social relations of capitalism only reluctantly, and were more inclined to join revolutionary parties and unions than were workers in other regions of the country.' In recent years, scholars have questioned the accuracy of this analysis, cl…
