Among the many lilies of activity engaged in by the llureau are the preparation and publication of bulletins containing authorizative information on a wide laiige.of topics of interest to prospectors, miners, and others concerned with the mineral wealth of Arizona. Mineral and rock specimens are classified by the llureau: names and coin-|M sitions of minerals are given: and free ipialitative tests are made for the important elements. In co-operation with the I'nitcd States States Ecological Survey, topographical and geological information has hccn collected by the llureau. The fostering of research on Arizona mining and metallurgical problems is also one 01 the numerous tasks undertaken. ()iu line of research successfully undertaken during the past few years resulted in the development of a practical electrical method for locating sulfide ore bodies. I’i-e :tl

 College o Engi Tin College of Mines and Kngi-nceriug. mnler Dean («. M. I Sutler, has in the last few years sprung into prominence in the worlil of technical institutions. Without doubt. the high place which this college now hol ls among similar colleges in the country is due to the untiring efforts »f Dean I Sutler. Dean I Sutler is one of the best known mining engineers in the country. and as a prominent worker in the American Association of Kngineers. has been appointed the chairman of a committee which will investigate the educational features of the engineering field. As a technical man. Dr. I Sutler is a mineralogist of international note, his work on Crystals and Type Kock being taken as authority throughout the I'nited States. The equipment of the various departments of the college is very complete, all phases of the practical and theoretical instruction being represented. In the civil engineering department, the surveying equipment includes transits, levels, sextants, numerous small instruments, and all of the other equipment required for held work. The apparatus in the materials testing lal moratory is fitted for making physical tests of wood, steel, stone, cement, concrete, and other materials used in engineering construction work. I »r the laboratory work in hydraulics, tanks, concrete reservoirs and pits, wiers. and other equipment are available for indoor work in this subject. t Mines and net ring Dean ». M. I fuller The electrical engineering laboratory is well equipped for carrying on all tests on alternating currents, circuits and machines. Tile students in this department visit various power plants in the state, including the Kmisevclt Dam and the large mine power plants. large number of mineral and fossil specimens are available for the use of the students in the geology and mineralogy department. I W the study of drawing and machine design, the department of mechanical engineering is provided with a large assortment of models and drawings. The wood shop, machine shops, steam and electric shops arc all well equipped for giving the best instruction possible to the student engineers. 'flu mining laboratory equipment includes a large number machine rock drills, which are used in outdoor drilling operations in a specially designed pit. The metallurgical lal ora(orv for small scale work is designed mainly for practice and experimental work in ore dressing and hydro-metallurgy. The ore crushing and sampling equipment is in the lab-oratory for large scale work.

College of Agriculture Tlu I niversily nf Arizona College of Agriculture has three ilistinct functions:—Instnu ti' 11. Research and organization tin following: (1) The Department of Agriculture, which gives agricultutral insiruetinn at the C niversily: (2 'The Department of Nome Keonomics offers instruction in the various hranches of household science: t S I The Agricultural Kx-periment Station, with its various experiment farms or sub-stations: and (4i the Agricultural Kxtcnsion Service. known over the State through the work of its county agricultural agents, county home demonstration agents, and specialists. The College of Agriculture as a Land (Irani institution draws a considerable part of its support from the I'ederal ( »ovcrnment as follows: Hatch funds for research and ex]K rimental work - $I5.(KX) Adams funds for original research work ... - 15.(XX) .Morrill and Nelson funds for instruction ----- 50.000 Smith-Lever funds for extension work...........................di.751 l'nrncll funds for research work ------- f4 .(MX) besides the foregoing, the College of gricnllure receives support from the ( nited States Department of Agriculture, the State of Arizona, and from various counties in Arizona which co-operate in extension work. The College of Agriculture offers a regular four-year course in suhtropieal agriculture leading to the Degree of bachelor of Science in Agriculture, and a four-year course in Nome Economics leading to the Degree of bachelor of Science in Nome Keonomics. The College of Agriculture has modern equipment for instruction and research in agriculture and Home Keonomics including a very complete |K nltrv plant, a greenhouse, screened garden.-, excellent types of dairy and heel cattle, hogs, and sheep, and also a new farm of 1 :0 acres near Tucson, which was presented to the I niversily hy the Ciry of Tucson and Lima County at a co t of more than $( ().(XX . (Graduates of the College of Agriculture. in imth the departments of Agriculture and I Ionic Keonomics. usually find awaiting them positions with salaries ranging from Sl sOO to S2.4(X) a year, with opportunities for rapid advancement. These are such positions as: I 1 i Korcnieii of fruit, dairy, livestock, and |»»uhn farms: (2) forement of experiment station farms or substations: (.1) county agricultural agents and county home demonstration agents: i4i teachers in high school and Smith-llughes vocational agriculture and home economics: c 5 I spcci alists in agricultural colleges, agricultural experiment stations, agricultural extension work, and in the various agricultural lines in the I nited Stales Department of Agriculture. -The appropriation under this fund i SiO.OQO for the fiscal year beginning Lily I. l‘L?5. and will increase SlO.OOO each year until the maximum amount of S(K».(KX) per year is reached.
