 Students

Professor R. R. Goodrich. mead of the mining department of the Uni versity of Arizona at Tucson was in Bisbee yesterday morning going to Douglas whence he will return 10 th's city Monday. He has already spent a week here looking over conditions in the Copper Queen Mines and on his return will do the same in the mines of the Calumet and Arizona company. Following his first visit here he went to Cananea where he spent a week and he has also been 10 Naeozari
 Prof. Goodrich is not one of those college professors who spends his summer in recreation and idling 9ld his winters in routine instruction oi a corps of students. He passes his vacations in study of conditions that surround mining in the different dis tricts and this summer is especially interested in Arizona and Northern Sonora to the study of which he is devoting himself.
 After leaving here he will go to Clifton. Globe and Hayden so that the students at the University in the com ing year and in years to come may have the benefit of his observations. IL is his belief that students in Ari- zona should be especially instructed in mining conditions as they are found here. Hence his present vacation.
 Speaking to a representative of the Review yesterday Professor Goodrich told of the trip which he is making Ey motor cycle. He stated that on his former visit here he was offered ev. cry facility by the Copper Queen com pany and was personally shown through many of the workings by Cap tain Hodgson. the mine superintend- ent. This was his first opportunity to visit the mines of this district and he declared he had greatly enjoyed it. lie had seen the Cananea mines and the Nacozari mines but had not pre- yiously visited Bisbee.
 At Cananea he was given all as- sistance he required and much yalu- able information by Dr. Ricketts and at Douglas he has had the opportunity 10 study smelting methods. He feels that after he has somewhat familiar ized himself with the C. and 4. work ings on his return visit he will be able to make Improvements in the Tucson course and be far better fit-- ted to carry on his work. As up to five years ago he was a mining en- gineer he looks upon the practical and not the theoretical side in the work of instruction.
 Professor Goodrich is an enthusiast as to the university with which he is associated. With mining as the most important industry in the state he considers the mining department one of the most important of the uniyCr sity He desires to send out men equipped with a knowledge that will be immediately useful at home, with a maximum of the practical in their education. Above all else it is his desire to see the mining and engin eering department of the Uniyersits Of Arizona become the leading schCO of mines in all the southwest and this he considers as possible by reason ot the splendid facilities which tht mines and vast mineral areas of tht state afford.
 Speaking of the failure of the leg islature to make an appropriation fol the collection of a proper mineral eX hibit for the San Francisco World fair he stated that it was a source O regret as the time intervening is a present none too long and believes the importance of a display that woult give at least some idea of Arizona vast mineral wealtk would in resuls more than warrant a far larger appTC priation than has been sought, whil a failure to make such an exhibi would be a never failing source of re gret
