REAL TUNNEL AT MINES COLLEGE

without having even TO leave the
campus, mining students enrolled at
the University Of California are obtain
ing practical hrst-hand experience in
subterranean engineering" says "The
Popular Mechanics Magazine" "A bore
has been started in a hillside adjoining
the mining building. and in carrying
out the work the novices gain much of
the same training that they would re-
ceive in a real mine. Already the adit
has been driven moro than 100 feet, and
according TO present expectations the
tunnel will eventually be extended sew
eral thousand feet in different direc-
tions. The student operators devote
a certain number Of hours each week TO
work In the tunnel. and this is just as
much part OF their course as is
