DREDGE IS BEING MOVED
TO PROPERTY ON HIGHET ;
- j
A gold dredge is being installed j
on Highet creek, in the upper Stew-'
art country, the big gold digger
having been towed recently from the
mouth of the McQuestion river to
Mayo landing, where it was disman
tled and freighted to Highet creek,
where it will begin operations this
summer.
The dredge was at the mouth of
the McQuestion for a long time. It
was towed to Mayo landing by the
steamer Dawson, a difficult under
taking, owing to the shallowness of
the water in the upper Stewart and
the many riffles encountered.
Considerable excitement was caus
ed at the Westward recently by a
reported gold strike near Chisana.
Nothing has come of it and the ex
citement has died out.

STANFORD U. TO
HAVE COMPLETE
MINING COURSE
PALO ALTO, Cal.—Commencing
with the fall quarter, Stanford uni
versity’s mining and metallurgy de
partment will open its doors with a
six-year course leading to the degree j
of Engineer of Mines, under the i
direection of Theodore J. Hoover,!
mining engineer of international note
and brother of Herbert C. Hoover.
Heretofore the mining and metal
lurgy course has been closely asso
ciated with the geology department,'
and has offered a four-year prepara- j
tion for the mining engineering pro
fession.
With Hoover’s advent into the
university the mining and metal
lurgy department will be more com
pletely segregated and specialized,
though close co-operation with ge
ology will be maintained.
In regard to the new mining de
partment Professor Hoover said:
“The course needs six years instead
of four. Until now, the work has
been too much specialized in tech
nical subjects: not that such spe
cialization is bad, but there is need
for a broader education of mining
engineers, and the addition of cul
tural work could not be made in a
four-year course, because those four
years were already crowded to the
limit. Under the new arrangement,
at the end of four years a student
will have gained a general educa
tion which will include much chem
istry, geology, engineering, and also
languages, other broadening sub
jects, and preparatory professional
work. He will then receive the de
gree of A. B. in mining and metal
lurgy. The next two years, which
lead to the degree of mining en
gineer, will consist wholly of pro
fessional and technical training.
“There are three outstanding rea
sons for more thorough education of
American mining engineers. In the
past, though foreign capital has had
vast holdings in mining properties
throughout the world, Amerieap en
gineers have been prominent in
their development. An outgrowth
of the war is that other countries,
especially England, with Anglo-Sax
on determination, will push the
training of their engineers to the
utmost. Our engineers must be
equipped to meet more strenuous
competition.
“Furthermore, the engineers of
today carry a great responsibility
on their shoulders. Interwoven in
this civilization of ours is the fab
ric of metals. Huge tonnages of
metal are required. The ores are
decreasing in metallic content. From
now on lower grade ores must be
worked. Greater skill will be re
quired to maintain a proper output.
“Another demand for complete
preparation is that the tendency of
business concerns in the mining
field now is to place scientifically
trained men into their directorates.1
as well as to use them in subordi
nate positions.
“Mining is an industry, not a;
speculative game. Back of the in- ;
dustry must be trained experts who ;
know their business. Too much em-!
phasis has been placed in most min
ing schools on working equipment. J
To give the student the idea that
he knows how the machinery works
because he has watched the wheels |
go round a few hours a week in'
some college course is a positive j
evil. It is better that when he goes
into the field to work, he should
acknowledge to himself and his em- ■
ployers that he has much to learn j
about operations. He will go ahead j
better than the one with half-baked
notions.”
Hoover received the A. B. ir.
geology and mining at Stanford in
1901. His early professional ex
perience was as assayer for the
Keystone Consolidated Mining com
pany at Amador City, California, in
1902. Since that time, as a mine
manager, director, and consulting en
gineer. he has engaged in big-scale
operations in Australia, Mexico, In
dia, Russia, Finland. France, Ger
many, and Asia Minor. He has of
fices in San Francisco and London.
TEXAS EXPECTS
DALLAS, Tex.—The two million
acres of Texas land sown in wheat
last autumn are expected to produce
a crop of 40,000,000 bushels, five
times larger than any previous Tex
as wheat crop. The Texas growers,
guaranteed a price of $2.28 a bush
el, figure a total return of $91,
000,000 in round figures, with a
$10,000,000 reduction as the ap
proximate cost of production.
Districts of West Texas and the
Panhandle belt are recruiting a huge '
army for harvesting the crop. For
the first time in three years the
drouth-stricken sections of West
Texas have use for reapers.
The reapers have already started
on the southern edge of the grain
belt, and will continue moving north,
county by county and state by state,
until they reach Canada next fall.
Many districts never before used
for growing wheat were sown last
fall, including tracts that formerly
grew cotton.
Wheat statisticians have figured
that the Texas crop, reduced to
bread, would make 1,120.000,000
loaves, or 11,200,000,000 sandwiches.
