THE GOLDEN TRIP
Ray Keleher Tells About the
Enjoyable Time the Schol-
ars Had Last Friday.
Profitable Trip.

On Friday morning, May %, two car
loads of Gilpin county boys started out
from Black Hawk to visit the State
School of Mines and the State Indus
trial School at Golden. The Colorado &
Southern kindly furnished two special
coaches which were decorated with C.
c. H. S. banners and pennants. A
crowd of 81 made the trip, including
boys from Russell Gulch, Black Hawk,
Nevada, Apex, st. Aloysius and Cen
tral City schools. Arriving at Golden
we went to Guggenheim hall where we
were met by President Anderson and
taken to the Assembly room. Here we
listened to one of the finest talks we
will ever hear. President Anderson en-
couraged the boys to continue their
school work, not to stop with gram
mar or high school education, but to
continue through college; telling them
that it is only one in ten thousand
grammar school graduates that reaches
fame and greatness, one in two hund-
red and fifty high school graduates, and
one in fifty college graduates and re-

ents work. 1t is mostly wet assaying
that is done in this room. From the
sophomore laboratory we went to the
freshman laboratory. This room GER
tainly shows how green the Freshies
are in handling chemicals. One of the
the boys was heard to make the remark,
at looks like Mike worked in here. 3"
This building was originally the whole
School of Mines.
Next we went to the physical labora-
tories. A few delicate experiments
were on here, and every room could not
be entered. Probably the most inter-
esting thing that we saw here was an
electrical furnace which could be made
so hot that lime or chalk would vapor-
ize when placed in it. This completed
the Mines, which took US three and one
half hours and the next thing was din
ner. While the walters, namely, Mr..
Momyer, Green and McGrath were
serving dinner the boys were having
some pretty warm arguments as to who
had the best guide After dinner we
started for the State Industrial School
The first place we visited here was the
shoe factory where boys were engaged
in making shoes and stockings. The
boy making stockings held most of the
crowd for he was making them so fast
the boys could not see how it was done.
He was turning out stockings at the
rate of one in two minutes. Next we
visited the printing department where
they were getting their paper ready.
They print daily paper and a monthly
magazine. After the printing depart
ment came the manual training build
ing where the boys were at work at
different things; the most interesting

ferred the boys to the book entitled,
"Whose Who in America" to prove his
statement.
After President Alderson's talk the
boys were divided into groups of IL in
charge of guides and great credit must
be given the guides for the way
they handled their groups. The first
place visited was the Mineralogy
rooms, here were specimens of all
kinds and from all parts of the world.
After the Mineralogy department we
visited the Presidents Offices, and it
was like stepping into millionaire's
parlor. From the Offices we went to
the show room: here were more speci-
mems; these showed us how they looked
before being polished and afterward.
Among the most curious specimens was
Gamptosaurus which was about a foot
wide; also stone AK which was among
the first used. From this room we
went to the library. Here they have
every kind of book that could possi-
bly, be needed for a reference work,
also all the magazines and papers.
From Guggenheim hall we went to
