not anticipated that the work in this

which it was found in the Lowell, un-

the extensive workings expose vast
body Of copper glance below a Gaping

lowed to the fifth level it becomes a
boruite. The slopes and wines open
this body l60 feet vertically and about
100 feet laterally. But this work is
only small segment of what has been
done on this level. on the fifth level
and below it there is to be seen great
faces Of carbonates of copper, oxides
and black oxides of manganese, the
lime rock having been the medium for
the redeposition of copper in solution.
There are 10 be seen evidences of
these changes constantly going on. 1t

SEVENTEEN BIRTHDAY.
This Anniversary of President Catch
Observed by Faculty and Students.

The faculty and the student body
of the college Wednesday morning
participated in the celebration of
the birthday of Thomas M. Catch,
which event also commentaries the
date when the college for the first
time reached an enrolment of five
hundred students representing every
section of the state. Six years ago
when Doctor Catch was elected
president of this institution oflearn-
ing, he expressed the desire that
the attendance which then was 31o
might be increased to FIVE hundred.
Since that time the growth at the
college has been constant, steady
and healthy. Hence the fact
that the school should become
five hundred strong on the day that
the President came to be septu-
agenarian is matter of no little
interest to the college community.
The decorations of the chapel
were neat and simple, the platform
being overhung with flags and
bunting, and ornamented with
choice plants from the college con-
servatory. AS intended, the infor-
NAL reception came as a complete
surprise to the President. Follow
ing a shoat address by a member of
the faculty and brief response by
Doctor Catch, the exercises closed
with "The Star Spangled Banner
sung by the school. During the
session it was suggested that al
though President Catch is a sept
uagenarian and enjoys the distinct
ion of having given out diplomas
before the average present college
or university president was born, he
has so husbanded his strength that
now when his years are many, he is
the youngest of,them all
