MINING EXPERIMENT STATIONS.

The American Mining Congress,
the last session of which was held
during September in the Black
Hills of South Dakota, has caused
to be introduced in Congress bill
to establish mining experiment
stations in each of the States and
Territories of the United States,
for the purpose of aiding in the
development of the mineral indus
try, the bureau to be under the
direction of the Secretary of the
Treasury. The bill provides for
the appointment at each station of
a geologist at salary of $4,000
per annum, and a chemist at $4,000
per annum, and the sum of $1,000
to be appropriated for the equip
ment of each station. 1t further
provides that it shall be the duty
of such geologist and chemist to
receive for assay or analysis all
rock, cement, clay or other min
eral bearing substance that may
be brought to them by any citizen
of the United States, and make a
DrODer classification or ASSAY of
each sample for the purpose of
ascertaining the exact amount of
gold, silver, cinnabar, ETC., which
each sample contains, and to fur
nish to each depositor of such
sample, at nominal charge, full
assay or analysis of samples, etc.
While the idea of experiment
stations is one worthy of consider
alton and may prove of decided
benefit to the mining industry,
the plan outlined in the bill is
clearly an invasion of the field
now occupied by the numerous
assayers and chemists throughout
the country, and would result in
driving some of them out of their
ession. A business of the
character indicated in the bill
would quickly require the services
of numerous assayers under the
nominal charge arrangement, for
samples for assay and analysis
would arrive by the thousands,
and the geologist and chemist
would soon find themselves unable
to meet the demand. The idea of
solely qualitative analysis by
State or government institutions
has no Objectionable features, but
has much to recommend it, and if
conducted along those lines might
accomplish much good for the
mining industry Mining and Sci
entific Press.
