School of Mines FuIfilIs Those Requirements Demanded by
 Men Starting in Life Work

Mining colleges and schools Of mines are scattered an over the Unit, ed States, probably many more of them than are actually needed In as much as the quantity as well as the quality of mining engineers that can be absorbed by the industry is linn tied, it then remains to determine aai to what constitutes a really good . school of mines and where one may seek these qualifications and find them. What is the prime requisite? Grand buildings? Large amount of advertising? Large approprationsg An advantageous location? An ex, tensive and costly equipment? High grade piofessOrs2 What institution may properly allow TOT the real ab- sorpion of the spirit of success in the profession and win also allow for tho proper environment to make man out Of Q boy?
 Probably the most important of the above features is location. It is cer- tainiy true that a school of mines should be located in a mining district if that school is to be only a school of mines. IT, however. it is to De asso. ciated with university. of which mining is one department. it should be at a center Of population. The Arl- zona School of Mines fulfHs both O. these requirements. Situated at a center Of population. Tucson. which i7 not only the center Of population of the state but approximately tho center of the states wealth. the geo. graphical center of its great copper camps and the industrial center of the principal industries in the state Yet it Is surrounded by mines and great camps With the historic mines of Patagonia and Santa Cruz county on the south going west we pass Silver Bell and farther west Ajo, stsrtng north. Ray, then going east Globe. Miami, and Clifton, south again, Pearce and still farther Bisbee and Tombstone, all within a 15O mile circle of the University of Arizona College of Mines and accessible by good roads and railroads
 Aside from the mines. we have tho great smelters of Douglas. Globe. Cliff ton, Miami, and Hayden within tho same area. We have the cyanide plants of Tombstone. Pearce and Wickenburg, and we have mills handl ing 90 thousand tons of ore daily within this circle at Hayden. Miami Globe Clifton and other points
 To tell the advantages of Arizona for the study of mining engineering would be to tell a long story Mining is the industry that first found Ari zOna and mining is the industry thai is keeping Arizona, and when mining stops. SO does the vitality of the stat, of Arizona. Probably no university iI America has greater advantages iron the point of view of location for tho study of mining. metalurgy and geol 0gy than has the University of Ari ZOna. It is in reality a great mining and metallurgicai laboratory sur rounded on all sides by great mines mills and smelters, in an area pro ducing gold, silver, lead. copper, tune ,ten, zine, molybdenum placer gol, and many minor metals. from whici area almost fifty millions of dollar ia produced annually So that for To cation. tno Arizona College of Mine cannot be surpassed
 What Is next in importance tha makes good College of Mines? ThO professors? The personnel of th' professors and instructors. the tonD Of a school as given by its presiden end faculty Is the spirit animadnl inc student body. To learn anything thoroughly from a good teacher | more educatiye to an earnest studen
