The terms "claim of right," "claim of title," and "claim of ownership,"
when used in the books to express adverse intent, mean nothing more than
the intention of the dissessor to appropriate and use the land as his or
her own to the exclusion of all others, irrespective of any semblance or
shadow of actual title. Ricketts

A name given to (1) a mixture of wollastonite, quartz, and feldspar from
Edelfors, Sweden; (2) impure wollastonite from Giellebak, Sweden (called
also gillebackit); and (3) impure laumontite, under the impression that

An electrostatic process under development, in which fine-size dry coal is
passed through an ionized field that selectively charges the coal and the
liberated mineral matter. The output of the ionizer is then fed into an
electrostatic separator where the coal and impurities are separated.

20% augite to 20% aegirine end members of the pyroxene group. Formerly
called acmite-augite, aegirineaugite.

form air bubbles. BS, 5
b. In mineral beneficiation, use of copious air bubbled into mineral pulps
(1) to provide oxygen in cyanidation, (2) to prevent settlement of solids,
and (3) to remove aerophilic minerals in froth flotation by binding them
into a mineralized froth that is temporarily stabilized by frothing
agents. Pryor, 1
c. The process of relieving the effects of cavitation by admitting air to
the section affected. Seelye, 1
The zone in which the interstices of the functional permeable rocks are
not (except temporarily) filled with water under hydrostatic pressure; the

is held by capillarity. Rice, 1
An apparatus for charging water with gas under pressure, esp. with carbon
dioxide. Standard, 2
Relating to the air or atmosphere. Subaerial is applied to phenomena
