THE DOMAIN OF
 MINING ENGINEER
 CALLS YOUNG MEN
E. N. PATTY, ALASKA COLLEGE HEAD OF MINES, WRITES OF
 ENGINEERING LURE

ulHeIdl DedlIHS OulCfOp on Q1S- tant mountain and is successful in interesting mining company in his find, a mining geologist is sent for to examine the discovery and if the find is important enough to interest a large company it is probable that mining engineer will supervise the work of extracting the ore from the mine. If the ore is lost thru fault ing the mining geologist will be call ed in to direct the search-also to select the likely places to search for other ore bodies htat may be con- cealed. A mill will be designed to separate successfully the ore from the intermixed and worthless rock. Finally, the concentrated ore is ship ped to a shelter where the metallur gist is called upon to reduce it to usable metals. These metals are marketed by skilled specialists. Still other men skilled in research and laboratory technique, seek out new properties and new uses for the final products. This gives us a skeleton outline of the various fields of en- deavor of the men who represent the products from our mining schools.
 Modern mining has developed into highly organized and scientific business, with the result that meth ods in all branches have been brought to an enviable position. Full ly 75 per cent of the profitable mines of today would have been impossi- ble projects 20 years ago; even with labor and material costs only half of what they are now. It is interesting to note that the majority of the men who are directing these accomplish ments are the products of American mining schools. You will find them in the far corners of the globe, often pioneering great projects. Some graduated from their profession dir ect huge commercial enterprises or enter responsible public positions. This is not surprising for they have been thoroughly schooled in marsh cling the facts necessary for intelli- gent decisions and their pioneering experiences have made them bold and courageous.
 The mining engineers of tomorrow must be recruited from the young HiOA WuO nave tuc 1lIOIdl duQ pnyS1- cal stamina to trade the hardships and isolation which the job some times demands, for the thrill of ac- complishment-the satisfaction that they are producers, adding to the wealth of the world. To do this the young engineer must not be too closely welded to a steam-heated of flee. He must be as content in the canyon of the mountains as in the canyon of a city street. He must carry his own pack; be equally con- fortable in evening clothes or rough field clothes. One month may find him sharing bean pot with a lone prospector; the next in conference with a board of directors. Some men in time attain the happy combination of explorer technician and, business executive, all rolled into one and as such are chosen to direct the work of
