The Man Who Must Be kinu.

In no class of engineering work,
probably, Is the engineer more depend
ent on his own resources than in the
case OF mine in a remote district,
far from the ordinary means of trans.
portation and the conveniences of civ.
ilization, writes H. W. Edwards In En-.
cheering Magazine. Although the
great bulk of the mineral production
is derived from comparatively small
number of large mines in complete
touch with civilization, yet far the
'arger number of individual mining
engineers find their work far removed
from the convenIences and facilities
OF the large and more established
camps. Scattered over the American
continents from Cape Nome to Cape
Horn are many petty Kingdoms, as
it were, in which the mining engineer
has to be the sole source of all knowl-
edge in his little district; his respon-
sibilities are without limit and his
duties comprise everything. He Is
called on to exercise more or less
profound knowledge of surveying. me-
chanics, hydraulics. electricity, miner.
alogy, assaying, metallurgy, construc.
ton of roads, and to know all there
is to know about wire rope, explosives.
pumps and geology and now concrete.
