STATE SCHOOL OF MINES.

President Shannon, of the state board
of regents, notices the general surprise
exY .ssed by the newspaper boys at tile
small number of pupils, and the great
appropriations of the Rapid School Of
Mines. The state pays $1,000 per an
mum for this institution, and the total
enrolment 10 fourteen. Shannon states
that there is ample room for dissatis-
faction, that the membership ought to
be one hundred and fifty instead OF
fourteen, and that the failure to reach
that number is due TO the legislature.

Mining lite ms.

The success Of the cyanide process for
the treatment of certain ores of the
Black Hills is now said to be assured by
actual demonstration by the Deadwood
plant during the past few days, where
SO per cent of the assay value was OBJ
tained from a run of 80 tons. This re-
suit cannot be Otherwise than highly
pleasing TO those directly interested in
the matter, and extremely gratifying to
the people of the Black Hills at large,
surprising, as it does. all previous rec
ords. The present daily reduction ca
pacity of the plant is 80 tons, which will
be wholly inadequate to meet future
requirements, which, il is believed, will
be such as TO warrant the erection oil
the largest and most complete plant in
the world using this popular process
Ten dollars per ton is the amount charg
ed for the treatment of ore.
