reserves of the State Archive of Sverdlovsk region have been introduced, which include the resolutions of the Institution
Council as far as the library is concerned. In connection with the coming anniversary of the Research Library of the Ural
State Mining University the attention is stressed on the determination of the date of the library foundation.
Key words: the Research Library of the Ural State Mining University; the history of the library; newspaper publications of
the beginning of the 20th century; archive documents; the library organization; replenishment of the reserves of the library.

This article is devoted to some peculiarities in the examination of industrial safety of documentation for construction in the
areas of hazardous natural and techno-natural processes development. These processes are caused by intensive
economic development of territories and are characterized by great variety. To ensure the safety of new construction and

exploitation of buildings and structures in the areas of hazardous processes development, additional requirements are
imposed for the realization of engineering investigations. The organizations, performing investigations, focus on
conducting fieldwork and obtaining measurement results. At the same time, the interpretation part of the work done,
namely the influence of the measurements obtained on the dynamics of hazardous natural and techno-natural processes
development, recommendations for accounting the results obtained during construction, and the development of a further
strategy for monitoring dangerous processes are often completely absent. Particularly relevant is the issue for hazardous
production facilities, the documentation for the construction of which is subject to industrial safety examination.
Examination establishes compliance of the submitted documentation with the requirements of regulatory documents.
The deficiencies in research investigations discovered during the examination of industrial safety are subject to discussion
and further development of a strategy to prevent such errors. The considered ways of solving this issue are mandatory to
provide safety of new construction or already operated facilities in the areas of hazardous geological and engineeringgeological
processes development.

Key words: industrial safety examination; hazardous production facility; natural process; techno-natural process;
engineering investigations.

The article considers the problems of the analysis of association links in the sphere of subsoil use, which help to determine
and explain the nature of relations between the notions within the limits of the system of subsoil use. The analysis is
introduced of causal relationships between the interdisciplinary approach in the solution of the problem of subsoil use and
the possibility of actually complex solution of eco-economic and social problems; the explanation to this relation is
represented by application examples (the deposit of copper-nickel ore in Voronezh region and the deposit of copper ore
near Chelyabinsk). Causal relationship is studied between the admission the natural (ecological) factor as the higher
priority and possible practical realization of the conception of sustainable subsoil use; the explanation to this realization is
given through the hierarchy of the levels of subsoil use control (conceptual, ideological, political, and economic).
The analysis is introduced of the causal relationship between the degree of taking into account the time factor and the
formation of ecological, social, economic, and technological problems in the sphere of subsoil use. Association link is
studied between the action and the result in the sphere of subsoil use; the reason for the absence of innovations in the
sphere of refining complex is explained and the low application level of the majority of subsoil use resources. The analysis
is introduced of the relationship between the materials (subsoil use resources) and their potential production.

Key words: subsoil use; association links; cause and consequence; action and result; material and production;
interdisciplinary approach; priority of the natural factor; time factor; discounting; profit distribution; profitability; resource
processing depth.

The article considers some specific peculiarities of metasomatically altered rock of Svetloye gold and silver field , which
is situated in Okhotsk region of Khabarovsk Territory. Enclosing rock of ore zones of the field under consideration are lava
and tuff of andesite and andesite-dacitic, which are altered in all parts in the result of hydrothermal-metasomatic
processes. At the field the following types of metasomatosis are displayed: propylitization, secondary silification,
and argilization. Each type is characterized by own origination conditions – alkali composition of hydrothermal fluids and
the temperature of their origination. The characteristics of physical and mechanical properties of field rock is examined, the
regularities in strength characteristics reduction are defined by means of “weakening” minerals presence in rock,
the regularities in the alternation of properties depending on the type of metasomatosis and the distribution of minerals in the
cut of the field. With the purpose of defining the peculiarities of physical and mechanical properties alternation,
the analysis of the results of field rock mineral composition and physical and mechanical properties determination is
fulfilled. The regularities stated are important at the solution of the problem of the mineral stripping, the degree, character,
and type of mine workings support.

Key words: physical and mechanical properties of rock; metasomatically altered rock; metasomatosis stages; gold and
silver field; propylitization; secondary silification; argilization.
