The course of studies embraces both the engineering and metallurgical studies, with practical exercises in analysis and assaying. A large collection of models from a celebrated European manufactory, and costing over $2,000, has been provided for this school. The geological and mineralogical cabinets are well provided with specimens of minerals, ores and rocks. In the new chemical laboratory, provision is made for metallurgical and assaying laboratories, with stamp mill, furnaces and other apparatus required for practical instruction in this department.
