Mine Attack.—This includes the means and methods of attack, and the transportation of products to the surface, as follows: (1) tools, implements, machinery, explosives, stripping, boring, sinking, drifting, etc.; (2) timbering; (3) haulage; (4) hoisting; (5) ventilation; (6) drainage. There are coal mining districts within easy reach, and the mine managers offer to students every facility for visiting and inspecting the mines. Diagrams, charts, models, and full sized tools and machines in possession of the University, are used in illustrating the lectures. Fall term, 5 hours a week. Professor BALDWIN. Required: Math., 4; Chemistry, 1, 6; Physics, 1. 3. Mine Surveying.—Instruction is given by lectures and recitations, and includes the use of the solar compass, solar attachments, practice of the U. S. deputy surveyors, traverse survey with inclined measurements, connection of surveys arjove and below ground, and the determination of the position of bore holes, drifts, and shafts from data given or acquired by the students. The field work is carried along with the lectures. The University has three transit instruments especially adapted for underground work. The field work is under the personal supervision of the instructor, and all checks are made by the students, as in regular surveys. Complete plats, maps, drawings, and calculations are required for all field work. Surveying in the mines for two weeks at the end of the term familiarizes the students with the peculiar features and difficulties of underground practice. Spring term, 10 hours a week. Professor BALDWIN. Required: Math., 4; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 3 ; Civil Engineering, 1, 3, 3. 3. Ore Dressing.—The fall term is devoted to ore dressing, and the course comprises lectures upon properties of ores in respect to subsequent treatment; theory of jigging and treatment of slimes ; hand dressing ; machine crushing, crushers, rolls, stamp mills, and pulverizers, etc.; sizing machinery, classifiers, and
