HEAD OF MINES, WRITES OF
ENGINEERING LURE
After a prospector has found a
mineral bearing outcrop on a dis
tant mountain and is successful in
interesting a mining company in his
find, a mining geologist is sent for
to examine the discovery and if the
find is important enough to interest
a large company it is probable that
a mining engineer jvill supervise the
work of extracting the ore from the
mine. If the ore is lost thru fault
ing the mining geologist will be call
ed in to direct the search—also to
select the likely places to search
for other ore bodies htat may be con
cealed. A mill will be designed to
separate successfully the ore from
the intermixed and worthless rock.
Finally, the concentrated ore is ship
ped to a smelter where the metallur
gist is called upon to reduce it to
usable metals. These metals are
marketed bv skilled specialists. Still
other men skilled in research and
laboratory technique, seek out new
properties and new uses for the final
products. This gives us a skeleton
outline of the various fields of en
deavor of the men who represent the
products- from our mining schools.
Modern mining has developed into
a highly organized and scientific
business, with the result that meth
ods in all branches have been
brought to an enviable position. Ful
ly 75 per cent of the profitable mines
of today would have been impossi
ble projects 20 years ago; even with
labor and material costs only half of
what they are now. It is interesting
to note that the majority of the men
who are directing these accomplish
ments are the products of American
mining schools. You will find them
in the far corners of the globe, often
pioneering great projects. Some
graduated from their profession dir
ect huge commercial enterprises or
enter responsible public positions.
This is not surprising for they have
been thoroughly schooled in marsh
eling the facts necessary for intelli
gent decisions and their pioneering
experiences have made them bold
and courageous.
The mining engineers of tomorrow
must be recruited from the young
men who have the moral and physi
cal stamina to trade the hardships
and isolation which the job some
times demands, for the thrill of ac
complishment—the satisfaction that
they are producers, adding to the
wealth of the world. To do this the
young engineer must not be too
closely wedded to a steam-heated of
fice. He must be as content in the
canyon of the mountains as in the
canyon of a city street. He must
carry his own pack; be equally com
fortable in evening clothes or rough
field clothes. One month may find
him sharing a bean pot with a lone
prospector; the next in conference
w'ith a board of directors. Some men
in time attain the happy combination
of explorer, technician and. business
executive, all rolled into one and as
such are chosen to direct the work of
an army of men and the investment
of large capital.
The young man who feels that he
may like the profession should not
be afraid to “try his wings”. If at
the end of^pne or two years he de
