OIL is SUPERSEDING
COAL IN CALIFORNIA

On account of the large production OF
petroleum In California. and its use for
fuel, coal mining has practically ceased
In that state, says Coal Age. According
to the United States geological survey,
the production OF coal In the last two
years has been only 10,747 tons in 1911,
and l0,978 tons in 1912.
The production OF petroleum in Cali
fornia in 1912 was Sc. 450. 767 barrels, Of
which not less than 50,000.0 900 barrels was
used directly for fuel Large quantities
OF oil were also used In place of coal for
gas making, and on the estimate OF three
and half barrels of petroleum being
equivalent to one ton OF ordinary btu
minous coal. IT is probable that from A..
900 to 15.000000 tons Of coal would
be required 10 perform in California the
service now rendered by petroleum in the
production OF heat. light and power,
There Is still, however, some demand
for coal in California. particularly for
domestic use and for the bunker trade at
San Francisco. but this is almost exclu-
sively supplied by coal from other states
or from abroad.

TO PRODUCE
COPPER AT 8 CENTS
Superintendent Orem Gives
Results Of Fourth Test in
Experimental Mill.

The following is taken from a lette
written by Archie J. Orem. general super
ntendent OF the mines. on his return aft
n conducting the fourth test on Nevada
Douglas orc through tho company's ex
1crimental mill at Denver:
In this test We obtained q current
efficiency Of 75 per cent. and our cop
per was precipltated at a cost OF l.3s
cents per pound. which was very
much more satisfac ctory than we had
reason TO expect. and gives us prob

dltions under which this test was car
1ed out were Just az disadvantageous
as we could possibly expect TO have
were VIC prccipltating our copper on
a very large scale. and I feel that the
results obtained can be duplicated
and even improved upon after we
have had time to carry our expert
mental work a little farther.
Some two years ago, when we
started 10 investigate clectrolytic
methods OF precipitation, we were
ridiculed by the mining fraternity In
sensus OF opinion among men that
this process had been tried and made
Il failure OF 80 often that Il was USE
less to attempt to make il success
ful. Since that time. however. the
mining industry Is beginning TO pay
a great deal OF attention to the depo-
sitlon OF copper from solutions by
electrolytic methods. and the work
accomplished by number Of persons
along these lines Is being very highly
commented upon by some OF the lead
ing mining journals, and in a number
OF localities where the process has
been tried out. highly satisfactory re-
suits have boon obtained. Two plants
in Butte, Mont. are attracting the
attention of mining men from all
understood that the Guggenheims are
preparing 10 put In plant IN South
America with capacity OF 10000
tons day.
AS far as we have been able TO
learn from a careful. study OF the sit
uation. results obtained by us In the
work VIC havo done in the Greena walt
Cell have been moro highly satisfac-
tory than the results obtained In any
OF the other processes which are be-
ing tried out, and I think we have
gone far enough In our work so that

Loans on Policies Increasing.

Much more than half q billion dol
lars of life insurance protection Will be
lost TO widows, orphans and other bene-
ficiarles as a result OF policy loans now
outstanding, Is the opinion OF Robert
Lynn Cox, general counsel for the Asso-
citation of Life Insurance Presidents.
Mr.. Cox says that large proportion OF
the insurance protection withdrawn by
policy loans is never replaced, the money
being invested elsewhere or wasted. THE
figures" continues MT Cox. (which speak
for themselves as TO the extent and dis
trlbution OF the policy loan practice. are

lying reasons for the recent large expap-
sion in such loans and tho presentation OF
remedies therefor
s456, 900. 900 policy loans and premium
notes outstanding TO policyholders at the
end OF 1911
Investigation. Mr.. Cox says, shows that
the policyholders OF certain recognized
groups OF states are much larger borrow
ers on their lifo insurance than are the
people OF other sections. Those credited
with being the largest borrowers are the
people OF tho Pacific coast section. the
policy loans and notes there being 700
per cent OF the reserves, The smallest
borrowers are the people OF tho central
northern states, the loans in that section
amounting TO 13-49 per cent OF the re-
serves estimated for that district. The
average for the United States for the
same year. 1911, was 1898 por cent The
reserve from which this sum OF s456.
900, 900 was borrowed amounted to s2,S5s.

port, n well-known life insurance author

for any purpose except for the payment
of premiums on the policy, and even that
privilege, he believes. could be limited

NEW ENGINEERING
SCHOOL At COLUMBIA

When the school OF mines OF Columbia
university celebrates IT'S fftieth anniver-
sary in May next the end OF the old
curriculum will be marked, for with the
beginning OF the next scholastic year, In
September, will come the consummat ton
OF a plan conceived by tho founders Of
tho school half a century ago--a graduate
school OF ensineering-on tho same foot
ing AS the other graduate schools OF the
university Under the new plan three
years OF special lied study IA the various
branches OF engineering Will be offered
leading 10 the several technical degrees
in the schools OF mines. engineering and
chemistry. The requirements for sdTnis
slon 10 these schools will be the compile
tlon OF at least three years of a college
or scientific school course, including thor
ough Instruction In mathematics, chemiS-
try and physics; and, in. addition. certain
courses In drafting, shoPwork: surveying
and mineraloEy.
To prepare for THIS graduate course in
side the university new course has been
prepared In Columbia college leading 10
the degree OF bachelor OF science, i'm which
n little more than ons-halr OF tho tlmc
or the student is given To the require
ments, and tho remainder is devoted TO
English. the modern languages. history.
philosophy and tho political sciences. This
course ls so arranged that the ordinarily
wcll-preparcd college Rtudcut should ho
able 10 complete It in three years.
Time was when all that was required
OIL an engineer was a SOund technical
knowledge OF his subject. and when he
WAS called into consultation his advice
was asked only on technical subjects. but
in recent years something moro has been
necessary for tho we'll equipped engineers.
Today the engineering profession enters
into almost every walk OF liic. Tho en-
Slneer has 10 be not only a man we'll
ycrGed in his profession, but has 10 be
a man of affairs. jlc is called upon for
advice upon subjects connected with en-
gineerlng today which were never
thought OF q score OF years ago. lie Is
obliged TO go long way further than
mere technical advice He is expected 10
give Information upon matters connected
with the business world In a way the en-
gineer of old never magined. His pro-
fession leads him into paths which en-
ginecr5 OF the past never dreamed they
problems but those of science TO others,
but must be able to take his place In the
world pass upon problems connected with
politics. economies and even diplomacy,
and always hold his own in tho councils
of the great. That the high school boy
who comes 10 an engineering school is
handicapped under these circumstances
cannot be doubted. and in order that ali
this may be changed and the new order
of things established at once the grad
uate course has been eSts olished at the
university. The engineering schools will,
In the future have the same rank as the
the many other schools connected with
the university, and the engineering stu
dents must have the basis Of a general
college education which is bound TO help
them TO attain the position now dema nded
of the engineer.
