Ofi 5SBE? 1 HiSKS 1 3l ? 11 H( [£A MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EXPERIMENT STATION United States Bureau of Mines H. M. LAWRENCE Metallurgist and Acting Superintendent The laboratories of the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the U. S. Bureau of Mines are maintained on the campus, I he activities of this station are o! a general character, covering the lead and tine fields of the Mississippi Valley and dealing with problems of a mining, ore dressing, or metallurgical nature which arise in the lead and zinc industries, the solution of which problems would tend to increase efficiency, encourage economic development and prevent waste in the territory served by this station. THE STATE MINING EXPERIMENT STATION MARTIN H. THORN BER R Y B.S., Mct.E. Associate Professor of Metallurgical Research in Charge of Station It is the object of the station to conduct such original researches or to verify such experiments as relate to the properties anti uses of mineral products; to investigate the engineering problems connected with the mineral industry, the economic methods of mining and the preparation of mineral products, the methods ot preventing waste of the mineral resources and the methods of preventing accidents in mines, mills, and smelters; to assist in improving the conditions surrounding the labor in mines, mills, and smelters; and such other researches or experiments as bear directly upon the application of mining and metallurgical engineering to the mineral industry of the Stare of Missouri. The new building which occupies a space of about llf)xl25 feet between Parker Hall and J sickling Gymnasium is the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines. The plan of the building is H shaped, making it essentially in two parts connected by a passageway. The front wing is occupied by the offices and fine research laboratories of the Bureau of Mines on the ground floor, by rhe Mining Department of The School of Mines on the top floor, and the offices and laboratories of the State Experiment Station in the semi-basement. Most of the rear w ing is occupied by a laboratory 28x80 feet on the ground floor and extending the full height of the rear wing. The equipment is complete with heavy machinery and apparatus for large scale experimental work. It includes a ten-ton Milwaukee floor operated traveling crane. In rhe north end of the rear wing are the electrolytic and the electro- thermic laboratories. In the semi-basement is the rock drill testing laboratory. At the south end is the crusher room, and in the basement below that is the cement testing laboratory of the C. E. depart- ment. MISSOURI BUREAU OF GEOLOGY AND MINES STATE GEOLOGIST H. A. BUEHLER The Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines— or The Missouri Geological Survey, as it is more commonly known — has its headquarters at Kolia, and occupies the Roll a Building on the School campus. The Geological Survey has at the present time a library of approximately five thousand volumes and pamphlets on geological and allied subjects, and a museum of seven thousand specimens of clay, coal, barite, lead and zinc ore, iron ore, and other mine and quarry products of Missouri. The Geological Survey is organized principally to aid in the development of the mineral resources of Missouri. Information concerning these resources is gathered through observations in the field by members of the staff. Geologic and topographic maps are prepared of different parts of the State and the various formations are accurately described in accompanying reports. The relation of geology to the ore deposits is also worked out and detailed reports published concerning such investigations. The Bureau, in co-operation with the United States Geological Survey, also maintains a water resource branch tor the investigation of water powers and flood prevention. Page Twenty-nine
