INSTALL SHELTER
FOR STUDENTS USE
Stanford University to Demon
strate How TO Reduce All
Western Ores

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 20
a smelter of the most modern type is
the recent and unique addition made
to the metalIurgy department of Stan
ford university Complete in every de-
tail the new apparatus is an exact
counterpart of the big commercial
plants now in operation in the mining
districts. The smelter is purely for
experimental purposes, however, and
is built on a reduced scale.
The construction has been carried on
during the summer months by Instruc-
tor L. w. Bahney of the geology and
mining department and has just been
completed. The apparatus is located
in the new laboratory of the metallurgy
department at the extreme northwest
corner of the quadrangle, where the
fumes can not prove obnoxious TO the
university classes or other departments.
Practical rather than theoretical ideas
have been carried out by the designers.
1t is provided with the necessary ma
chinery to take the crude ore and re-
duce ii as far as is possible under the
most advanced processes. The class of
ores best handled by the machinery is
that peculiar to the western mines.
Copper ores will be reduced, and in ad-
dition to furnishing practical expert
ence for the metallurgy students the
effect of dangerous fumes can be
studied and preventives tested. Prof.
D. A Lyon, in conjunction with the
smelter, is working up an electric
smeltef similar to that which he has
lately installed for the Heroult COM
pany at Redding. This will give the
students in the department the ad-
vantage OF both methods of reducing
mine products. The entire plant has
been installed in new fireproof, rein
forced concrete building.
