Geological Report on Asbestos and its Indications, in the Province of Quebec, Canada

"Geological Report on Asbestos and its Indications, in the Province of Quebec, Canada" by Lucius J. Boyd is a late 1800s scientific report, which closely studies asbestos deposits in Quebec. It explains where asbestos is found, describes the properties of asbestos-filled rocks, and talks about how asbestos was made. Boyd's report talks about his on-the-ground studies in different towns and the problems he faced because of thick plants and bad weathe. He looks closley at serpentine rocks and explains how they turned into asbestos and what that means for mining. The report also describes the extraction and business side of asbestos, including how it's mined, how good it is, and where it's sold. Boyd explains where to find the best asbestos and believes asbestos mining has a bright future in Quebec because there's a lot of it and better ways to mine it.
