SCHOOL OF MINES
EQUIPPED WITH
LATEST APPLIANCES
MAckAY METALLURGiCAL LAB.
oRAToRY is ONE OF THE
BEST IN THE COUNTRY.

The Mackay School of Mines of the
University of Nevada trains it's stu
dents TO fill positions in Nevada
mills by means of lectures and reci-
tations in the class room, supple
mented by practical work in the Mac
kay metallurgical laboratory. Espe-
cial attention is paid to the cyanid-
ing of silver and gold ores, since
this process constitutes the princi-
pal metallurgical industry of the
state of Nevada
A 'Sperry filter press and montejus
for feeding it have just been added
to the cyanide equipment of the Mac
kay laboratory The press has an
exposed filtering area of six cubic
feet and capacity for solids of one
quarter of cubic foot. While small
in size, it is complete working
model OF one OF the best types OF i'll
ter presses and is much more salts
factory for the use of students than
full-size press would be. Too many
mining schools install large machin-
cry, which is used by the student
rarely or not at all and is of little
more value than photograph or
diagram would be. 1t Is the policy
of the Mackay School of Mines, on
the other hand, to install small-size
/ machinery and to have every student
use every machine at some time dur
\ ing his course, thus becoming fully
acquainted with its construction ant
4 operation.
The Maekay metallurgical labora
tory is also well equipped TO rur
concentrating, matchmaking. chlor
mating and other teaching tests OF
ores of the precious metals The
equipment of the metallurgical labor
atory for the testing of gold and sill
yer ores by students is as complet'
as that ct any mining school in th'
country.

the other mines in the district, he
said that recently ore had been en-
eountered in either the Flake or the
Alpha, the first report being that II
had been opened in the Flake and q

it had been opened in the Alpha.
The ore is said to be the highest
grade ore ever encountered in the
district, and the report of the strike
caused considerable excitement
among the mining men of the dis
i trict
The sawmill that is to be erected
on the Buster property will furnish
the mine with the necessary timber
and will also furnish the necessar,
lumber for the building of the tram
way and the milling plant
