Description: [...]he furnished Ding with letters of introduction to mining contacts in Duluth and Michigan.5 On his six-week trip, Ding toured mining operations and geological sites, from the vast copper and iron ranges along the shores of Lake Superior to the massive Berkeley Pit copper mine in Butte, Montana. From Butte, Ding would head southwest to Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Canyon, and the copper mines scattered in the hills around Bisbee, Arizona, before heading to San Francisco, where he boarded a ship returning to China. Leith had literally written the book on a number of critical geological subfields, including textbooks called Structural Geology (1913) and Metamorphic Geology (1915). For Ding, economic geology seemed to hold the solution to the problem of his country's industrial and financial weakness. Since the first Opium War (1839-1842), China had been at the mercy of Western powers, which, by the late nineteenth century, had begun carving up the country's resource-rich territories for profit.
