includes (a) the wet assay of copper, lead, zinc, and other ores, arsenical and complex as well as the simpler forms, also the analysis of finished metallurgical products; as, commercial lead, spelter, copper, etc.; during the last half of the term the work is occupied (b) with the fire assay of lead, gold, and silver ores. Fluxes, reagents, and charges are studied in connection with various typical ores and practice given in use of the crucible and muffle furnaces and in the manipulations connected with fire assaying. / . ; M.,W.,F.; 3, 4, and
