Splendid Field Is Open to Young Men
THROUGH School of Mines at u. of Idaho

roasting apparatus is available for
both large and small scale work, as
well as a most elaborate equipment
for flotation concentration.
| For the most exact work in pyro-
metallurgy pyro meters, calorimeters,
metallograp hic microscopes, etc, are
available.
| All of the equipment is housed in
the metallurgical building. a pressed
brick structure erected in 1906.
The assay building is another brick
structure nearby. This building con-
tains all necessary coal and gasoline
furnaces, chemical laboratories, the
weighing rooms, etc. Here also are
the laboratories and offices of the bu-
reau of mines staff.
Through the generosity and good
will of the mine managers and own
ers of the state, and especially of the
Occur d'Alene region, it has been the
good fortune of the school of mines
to secure cooperative relations with
the United States bureau of mines, so
that a staff of trained specialists is at
work in the university laboratories on
some of the numerous metallurgical
problems of the state. This work, Of
course, not only provides opportunity
in the, form of fellowships for graduate
work N mining and metallurgy of the
highest order. but gives the under
graduate student the stimulating in
fluence of working in an atmosphere
where the pressing mining problems of
the day are being solved
Opportunities for Young Men in Min
ing.
| No field in the western continent
holds out greater promise to the Wig
orous, clear headed youth than that
Of mining engineering
On every hand the demand for
young engineers ana metallurgists ex-
ceeds the supply-during the present
summer the Idaho school of mines has
had call after call for men trained in
mining technology, which it has been
unable to supply, and this demand
will last not only throughout the
duration of the war, but will continue
with the period of restoration and re-
Mobilization of trade which must fol-
low it.
The field is a lucrative one. 1t is
unusual for the young graduate to re-
ceive less than $125 to $3.50 a month.
and it is no uncommon thing for the
experienced mine managers and metal
lurgists to receive from $4,000 to $780,

Courses Offered.
| The regular four-year undergrad
uate courses leading to the degree of
bachelor of science in mining, metal
lurgy and geology are open to stu
dents who have graduated from an
accredited high school or who have
equivalent preparation.
Facilities for graduate work in each
of the three lines mentioned are ex-
cellent, and through the bureau OF
mines fellowships of good income are
available each year.
For persons of mature years and
adequate preparation special courses
are offered.
The mining short course of eight
weeks duration is offered each year
Immediately after the Christmas va
cation. ...s
Extension courses local miners in
lstitutes, correspondence work and To-
cal instruction in first aid and mine
rescue work are under contemplation
for the near future.
The state of Idaho, through its
school of Mines offers an opportunity
for the study of mining. metallurgy,
land geology, under unusually favor
able conditions.
