Mining
Schools Necessary

voted to the discussion of subjects per-
ters which all mine operators regard as
essential for the development of mining
efficiency is larger number of well
trained and educated men. The need of
additional mining schools under state
control similar in scope to the agricul-
tural colleges now existing in every state,
is becoming generally admitted. 1t is
only by such means that young men can
acquire the technical mining training for
work which is becoming more highly
specialized each year. Federal aid in
establishing such schools is now being
advocated by all those interested in min
ing progress
Next to coal, gold is the mining prod
uct having greatest effect upon the gen.
eral progress of the world. The annual
gold production of the world amounts to
about half a billion dollars. The United
States produces a fifth of this. 1t is be-
Heved that the GOLD resources of this
country will be sufficient for its future
needs if they are properly mined. but
much of the ore now found is Of such
low grade that 1t requires the highest
degree of efficiency to mine 1T probably.
The high-grade ore OF the west is world
renowned. but IL is growing scarce. The
greatest wealth of this country is now
in its lower grade ores. The difference of
90 cents a ton In the cost of mining these
may cause the difference between the
success or failure Of a mine The pres
ent need is for efficient mining men who
are able to economically operate the low
grade ore.
