of mines OF Columbia University,
the mining department of the Mas
sachusetts Institute Of Technology
and the Lawrence and Sheffield
scientific schools of Harvard and
Yale Universities 1t is proposed
that the senior mining students of
the four institutions named, and
possibly of the Colorado School of
Mines, shall hold a Joint session
for the study of practical mining
and mine engineering this summer
in one of the mining districts of
Colorado. The students will 90
into camp at mine to be located
for the purpose A small number of
skilled miners will be employed as
instructors, and the students Will
engage in actual mining opera
tions Prof Henry S Munroe of
Columbia has been appointed di-
rector of the first year, and he will
Lave under him a corps of compe-
tent instructors, drawn from the

An unusual use Of copper is to
be made in the new ferryhouse
which the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western Railroad Company is
building at the foot Of West Twen-
ty-third street, in New York. The
frame OF this building is of steel,
and it will be sheathed with cop
per. AS the sheets will necessarily
Ee rather heavy, a considerable
Cquantity OF copper will be needed.
There few copper roofs in New
York, but we believe that this will
be the first building in the city
with outside walls of copper.
The use Of copper sheathing, or
covering, for the outside of cars,
which was first tried on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad, was a success. Its use
for that purpose is being extended,
a number of ears recently built be-
ing covered in that way En-

Governor Brodie has received
500 copies of his annual report to
the Secretary of the Interior. There
are now 800 applications for books,
and the diitribution will, therefore,
be somewhat curtailed, as the sup
ply is somewhat limited. Last
year the Legislature purchased
1900 copies to be distributed in the
Territory, but this year it will be
different, only the allotted 800 be-
ing obtainable The report is the
largest and most complete of any
ever gotten up by any Governor of
Arizona There are 254 pages
printed in nonpareil type, with
numerous illustrations and maps.
Every important industry is given
space, and nothing is overlooked
