and no pains is spared to familiarize each member of the class with duties and responsibilities of every grade, from miner to manager.

COURSE OF STUDY.

In the first two years the work is similar to that required in the course in civil engineering, but more time is given to chemistry. In the third year geology and mine engineering, with assaying and metallurgy, take the place of special technical studies in the other engineering courses. In the fourth year strictly technical studies are continued, with others taken with the mechanical engineers, and with some of a more general character.
