MINING IS SAFER

DEAN or COLUMBIA SCHOOL or
MINES ADVANCES A STRONG
ARGUMENT

Il consider mining enterprises,
with the assistance and advice OF the
right mining engineers and experts,
safer from business standpoint
than farming and Industrial enter

"The ore from which the results
are obtained is already in the ground |
and it is only question of the time
and the method of extracting same
and producing the metal therefrom'
These statements We're made %
graduates of the Columbia School OF
Mines by Adolph Lewisohn, one of

In a recent interview published in

I4ewsohn has the following to say
regarding the industry of this coun

.sIn the business Of mining success
depends largely upon the ability Of
the engineer or expert TO correctly
determine the grade and approximate
quantity of ore that is in a given
| space in the mine and the metallu-
gical treatment which will give the
most satisfactory results. A farmer
may have all the necessary knowl-
edge and ability and yet may not be
