In composition with all the great
quarries of the world lately, the Col.

The marble is now being extern

cities of the country to the exclusion
of the Vermont and Italian products
and it is most gratifying to every
citizen Of this county and state that
it is possible TO enter into competi-

Mr.. Ramsey is making IA great ei-

TWO EXCELLENT LECTURES
Doctor Frank Lewis Mason Talks
to Students of School of Mines
Things Geological.

The students of the School of
Mines have been favored this
week with rare opportunity to
learn geological wisdom from a
gentleman of broad experience
and profound learning in the per-
son of DIR. Frank Lewis Mason of
West Haven, Connecticut. Doc
tor Mason is, in fact, a generally
recognized authority in his line.
1t was through the influence of
Z. L. Brown that Doctor Mason
consented to favor the class at
the School of Mines with two
lectures on geology. The first lee
ture dealt with the zinc deposits
at Franklin, New Jersey. The
lecturer spoke of the geology and
ore occurrences of the district, a
history of mining operations at
Franklin, and described in detail
the metallurgical problems en-
couutered in early operations and
the fifty years of litigation aris-
ing over the complex character
OF the zine ores of the district.
The second lecture had to do
with the geology and ore occur
rences OF the Appalachian sys-
tenn from Alabama TO Newfuund-
land. The occurrences of gold,
silver, copper, zinc, lead, and
some rarer metals were described
IN a manner that the layman
could understand and appreciate.
Doctor Mason has remark
ably clear aud masterful way of
handling a subject. 1t is not
often that the students of any in
stitutiou in the west have. an op-
portunity to hear one OF the best
known authorities OF the country
on his own line of work, and
both the students and the faculty
of the School OF Mines showed a
proper appreciation of the oppor-
tunity they had in listening to
Doctor Mason

SCHOOL OF MINES DORMITORY
Plans and Specifications Have Been
Drawn for a Commodious and
Comfortable Building.

The plans and specifications
for the new School of Mines
dormitory have been drawn and
from these it can been seen that
the structure we'll afford COM
modious and comfortable quarters
for about thirty students.
The building will be of brick
trimmed with cut stone. 1t will
consist of two stories and a base
ment and the ground dimensions
will be approximately forty-seven
by niuety-hve feet, with a kitchen
annex. In the basement will be
the furnace room. coal bins, and
shower baths. On the ground
floor will be the entrance hall,
an assembly room thirty-one by
forty-tive feet, four rooms twelve
BY eighteen feet, a bathroom,
the dining room, the pantry, and
tie kitchen. On the second floor
there will be eleven. bedrooms
twelve by seventeen feet, each
supplied with large closet. On
this floor there will also be
bathroom and a linen room. a
hall way eight feet wide will eX-
tend the entire length of the
building on the second floor and
il will be lighted by means of a
large window at each end.
The plans and specifications
were adopted at a special meeting
OF the board OF trustees in this
city Wednesday, and the board
seems to have adapted them as
we'll as could possibly be done to
the needs of the institution. and
the amount OF money appropriate
ed for the purpose. AT any rate,
one sore need ut the School of
Mines IN its competition with
other like institutions will be
supplied

THE FATE OF THE KICKER.

St Peter sits by the heavenly
gate, his hand on the strings of
a Tyre, and he sings a low song
as he patiently waits for the
souls of those who expire. He
hears in the distance the chorus
of song that swellS from the foot
of the throne, and he smiles as
the music is waited along, and
sings a lay of his own.
There is room in this region
for millions of souls, who by sor-
row and woe are bereft, tits for
those who have suffered" the
melody rolls, but the kicker
must turn to the left. There is
room here for people who when
they were young, persisted in
sowing wild oats, yet doomed up
their towns with sipew and
tongue, but the kickers must go
with the goats. There is room
for the people who pointed with
pride to beauty and growth of
their town, who kept singing it's
praises aloud till they died, but
the kickers will please amble
down. They would say that the
music was all out of time and
the angelic robes 'hand-me-
down. and they'd send for a Jew
eler off to the moon to sample
the gold in their crown. Now,
while there is room for millions
of souls who by sorrow and woe
are bereft, we want no complaint
of the music that rolls, so the
kicker must turns to the left."-
