There is something doing in the
new mineral fields this week. Strike
number three, mention of which
was made in these columns last
week, is proving to be good one.
The first run of jack was only six
feet thick. 1t was found at 66 feet
and the drill passed out of 1t at "
feet. At so feet another run of ore
was struck and the thickness of it
is not yet known. Suffice to say it
is big enough, thick enough and of
good enough quality.
But another strike was made Mon
day evening. About $50 yards north
of strike No. the Gregory drill
struck lead ore and penetrated a
RUN of ii nine feet in thickness. This
is a wonderful find.
The fourth find makes four out of
six holes put down.

Engineering Courses in Colorado
College.

With the completion of its new sci
ence hall now being erected at cost
of $3.50, 900, Colorado College will es-
tablish q school of engineering. Sew
eral courses will be offered, namely,
general course In engineering and
special courses, civil engineering and
irrigation, electrical engineering, min
ing engineering and sanitary engineer
ing. The general course will be OF q
non-professional character, giving op-
portunity for the student to combine
liberal culture studies with those of
applied science. The first two years
work in the special courses will be
much the game In all, chief emphasis
being laid upon the mathematical
studies preparatory to the later work.
In the last two years the student will
specialize. having large amount OF
shop work with frequent visits to fac
tories. engineering works, electrical
plants, etc, under the direction Of In
structors. It is intended 10 make this
new work very thorough, and several
new professors will be added to the
faculty, men who are thoroughly
trained both on the theoretical and
the practical side Of engineering.
The college will also establish
courses in commerce and finance, and
preliminary courses in medicine and
law. The former will be designed to
train men In q broad way for the
modern forms Of business and com
mercial life; the latter will be the
equivalent Of the FIRST year in the col
leges of law and Of medicine Of high
repute, and will thus make It possible
for the student to shorten his medical
or law course.
At the completion Of four years
course in engineering the degree Of
Bachelor OF Science in Engineering
will be given; At the completion Of
four years course in commerce, the
student will receive the degree Of
Bachelor of Science in Commerce
These courses will be offered for the
first time next year, and It II thought
that there are large numbers Of
young men in the state to whom they
will especially appeal.
