INSTITUTE ROYAL Y ENTERTAINED
Two Days Of Sight Seeing and Entertain
meni That viii Always be Remem-
bered by the Superior Men.

II am firmly convinced" said a
speaker al the banquet given the
Mining Institute at the Plankinton
House, Milwaukee, last Thursday
evening that the man who coined
the phrase beer makes Milwaukee
famous made. grevious error. IT'S
hospitality that makes Milwaukee
famous and the $50 guests cheered
the sentiment TO the echo. Never In
the history Of the Institute has such
hospitality been showered upon its
members and IL Is doubtful II the
work OF the Milwaukee committee
ever will be excelled
The banquet was the ending-up
chapter in two days OF sight seeing
and pleasure seeking that will never
be forgotten by those who participat-
ed in IL. From the moment the party
struck Milwaukee until the departure
of their special trains at 200 a. m. Fri
day, they were at once amazed by the
great showing OF industrial enterprise
and enthused by the cordial and gem
erous hospitality Of Milwaukee people.
The banquet was a lifting climax ~ a
highly successful effort on the part OF
Milwaukee citizens.
The institute met at lronwood and
spent day visiting the mines Of the
Gogebic range. a very successful
meeting Of the Institute was held
that evening In the Armory, the work
being purely technical. Much dis
cussion was INDUCED in upon the
topics presented I'm the papers read,
especially upon the paper upon
"Analyzing and Sampling Gogebic
Range Ores"
Following the adjournment OF the
evening meeting, the members repair
ed To their two trains Of Pullman cars
that had been assembled and were
hauled by special trains, one over the
Wisconsin central and the other over
the G. a. n. w. TO Milwaukee where
they arrived the following forenoon.
They were at once taken in tow by
the Milwaukee committee and
brought by a train OF special cars on
the Milwaukee street railway, TO
West Allis where the works OF the
Allis-Chalmer company were visited.
The sights presented the visitors,
in the line OF mammoth machinery
plants under construction were simply |
amazing. We regret that space pre-
vents "A more extended notice Of this |
plant for IL is certainly wonderful. |
IL took over two hours to inspect the |
works and then the members were |
conducted To one OF the large build
ings which had been handsomely
decorated and prepared for luncheon.
Every little detail had been care
fully looked after and the members
voted the lunch to be perfect in every
way.
The fore part OF the afternoon was
spent in viewing the r. NJ. Prescott
steam pump works. They enjoyed
thisfeature very much.
A return was made To the city
