instruction, but that it shall prove helpful, as a testing laboratory, to those
engaged in mining operations in the coal, lead, zinc and spar districts of
the State. The present equipment iucludes a standard, full-sized Wiltley
Concentrating Table; a Three-stamp Mill, made by the Allie-ChalmersC0m-
pany (to whom the School is indebted for generous treatment); a Hallett
Hand jig; a Campbell Coal-washer; a complete model of the St. Bernard
Mining Company’s coal·washery; and a complete ventilating fan and fan.
house The last three were provided through the generosity of Mr. John B_
Atkinson, President of the St. Bernard Mining Company, Earlington, Ky.
A standard threecompartment Hartz ]ig has been promised by a friend of
the College, The fan has been so installed that various problems relating to
ventilation may readily be studied. The machines are operated by electric
motor and gasoline engine. The laboratory equipment also includes an
assaying outiit, and apparatus for the study of cyaniding and chlorinating
ores. Negotiations for the purchase of an electric concentrator, a crusher,
and a set of rolls are in progress.
The State College is exceptionally well situated with reference tothe
practical study of both coal and metal mining (including lead, zinc and
iron), and for the study of metallurgical practice in certain lines, there
being within the State numerous coal and metal mines, and several iron and
steel metallurgical establishments, within easy reach of Lexington. Prac-
tical work in concentrating lead ores may be studied at the Gratz and the
Kissinger mines, in near—by counties. At the Gratz mine the plant includes
crushers, jigs, a Huntington mill, and Woodbury concentrators. At the
Kissinger mine the plant includes crusher, rolls, Huntington mill, Wood-
bury concentrators, and a smelter. The latter mine may be reached by
trolley line and a short drive. Elaborate la-ad and zinc concentrating plants
may be studied in the Western part of the State. Coal-washing and coking
may be studied at Ashland, where a Robinson washer is used, and at Earl-
ington, where a Campbell plant is in operation. The copper mines of 'l`en-
nessee, the iron mines of Virginia, Alabama and Tennessee, and the gold
mining regions of Alabama and Georgia, with their accompanying metal-
lurgical plants, may be reached within twenty—four hours or less of travel.
