What reading level is The Economics of Mining book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The autocrat, seated in his office chair at some financial center, in his endeavor to direct the operation of some score or more mines, often attaches undue importance to mere items of cost (which are seldom strictly comparable for any two mines) and 344 THE ECONOMICS OF MINING pays little if any attention to the practical mining ability of those in charge of the operations. Should not the ability to discover ore, or even not to lose it, when discovered, rank fully as high as mere cost of produ...c- tion? The most elaborate cost system ever devised will never successfully displace mining skill acquired by years of close, intelligent observation and experience in actual mining work. I have known mines where the cost of producing and milling or marketing a ton' of ore was steadily lowered by one expedient or another; but somehow, before the total cost reached a minus quantity profits vanished, the stockholders kicked, or something else happened, a strike, like as not, and the mine was eventually leased, with results entirely satis- factory to the stockholders.
