A GOOD LOCATION.

In addition to climatic attractions the
school of mines enjoys the natural ad-
vantage of being located in region pc
culiarly rich in minerals of nearly all
kinds. 1t is also within easy reach of
the most varied geological conditions.
The industrial processes connected with
mining and metallurgy may be seen at
Magdalena, Kelly Hillsboro, Cooks
Peak, Silver City, Pinos Altos, Rose
dale, in the Black Range, and at other
places not difficult of access from So
corro. In these camps may be seen IL
lustrated the latest methods of mining,
milling. concentrating, smelling, chlori-
nation, etc. as well as the native Mex
lean methods, which are worthy of
careful study since the like cannot be
seen elsewhere in the United States.
THE SURROUNDINGS.
The grounds Immediately adjacent to
the institution includes irrigable land
and plateau and mountain formations,
all affording an excellent field for prac-
tice in surveying, laying out railroads
and irrigating canals, topography mine
engineering and geology. SO that stu
dents may be prepared at the very
doors of the school in these branches,
which usually require t.z2.pu eXcur-
sions from like institutions in the east
ORIGINAL RESEARCHES.
The field for original scientific re-
search in New Mexico is unrivaled by
that of any other mining section. The
opportunities thus offered are not neg
lected in the plan and scope Of instruc-
u'n at the school of mines. 1t is de-
sl:,ned that much of the advanced pro-
fesslonal work of the school shall be Of
ar original nature, to the end that
graduates may be skilled theoretically
and practically in the very problems
Vll'ch they, as professional men, will be
Al'ed upon to solve. While this plan
Of instruction is designed to furnish
'trlal for practical and original re-
search on the part of advanced stu
dents, it Is believed that it will also be
Of great practical utility to the indus
tries of the territory, and that in an i'm
portant sense the school shall have for
its students not only those who may
study within its walls, but also the

The Advantage of Position.

The late Charles Haddon Spurgeon
was not one of those geniuses who
suddenly become revelation to their
friends. As n child he was exceed
ingly intelligent, and his subsequent
development was continuous. His
schoolmaster looked to him whenever
d question had long gone unanswered.
One winters day, however, when the
weather was bitter cold, change
seemed to come over the boy. His
answers went wide of the mark. Soon
he dropped to the bottom of the class
and stayed there. The teacher was
puzzled; his prize pupil seemed to
have lost every spark of intelligence
But as he thought, he noticed that
Spurgeon, at the foot of the class, sat
right in front of the stove. 1t took
but a moment to re-arrange the pupils.
The head boy was given the warm
seat, and Spurgeon was placed next
the window. Then the questions be-
gan again. The change was COM
plete. From that moment Spurgeon
did not hesitate fer the right answer.
Five minutes later he was once more
at the lead of the class, sitting in
front of the stove.-Youth's Com,
