Hotels Filled To

Memphis hotels, aided by Memphis
spirit, are doing their utmost to care
for the hosts of visitors to the fair,
but admit they are swamped. Each
train brings new tide and. while
the hotels will take care OF their reg
ular patrons, the yalso endeavor to
do as much as possible for the
stranger within the gates that Mem
phis' reputation for hospitality may
not suffer.
Many reservations made by wire
had TO be turned down two weeks
ago. II is really a difficulty for
reservations made 80 days ago to be
filled. Homes are being opened to
the casual visitor, however, and they
are caring for a large number. Rooms
at the Y. NJ. c. A. have all been
taken, DR.. George, general secretary,
states, but they have fitted up 76
large cots, which are at the disposal
OF visitors. 1t is quite likely that
hotels may adopt some such proce-
dure.

School of Mines Boys
At Idaho Springs

The population of Idaho Springs
has increased quite noticeably the
past few days by the arrival of
about 65 School of Mines students,
who, during the holidays will fin
ish their practical work in the
mines, instead of having it to do
during the summer months. Fif-
teen of the students who are here,
are Chinese, and are doing timber
ing at the Miami tunnel in the
Edgar mines. 1t is here that the
School of Mines hopes to locate its
branch for practical work. The
rest of the boys are doing survey
work ct the Stanley mines. There
are three field men under which
the various squads are working,
with Prof. James Underhill as
general superintendent.
Next summer there will je an
other bunch of students, which
will perhaps be a class of one
hundred or mora.
The school at Golden is crowd
ed this year due to the fact that
the boys, who were compelled to
give up their courses to er.ter the
U. S. services, are again taking
advantage Of the splendid oppor-
tunity which is available at the
