UNIVERSITY HORSE BARNS The University and Mining ROM the point of view of the University, the Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology, although a separate entity and under an independent Board of Con- trol, is the research arm of the School of Mines. The direction of its work is an ex-officio function of the Dean of that division of the University. Since its creation in 1919, the Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology has issued fourteen publications dealing with the mineral resources of the state and their utilization and in addition has issued four publications in cooperation with other organizatons. The activities of the Bureau have had a wide scope throughout the state—the counties in order in which work has been done, beginning at the northern boundary, are: Bonner, where a survey has been made of the geology and ore deposits around Pend Oreille Lake; Kootenai, where a survey has been made of the platinum possibilities; Clearwater, Benewah and Shoshone, have been mapped for primary control; Latah, for the copper deposits of the Hoo Doo country, also a preliminary study of the clays, and the artesian water resource possibilities of Moscow have been investigated; Nez Perce, where the oil possibilities at Lewiston have been reported upon; Idaho, where the gold resources of North Central Idaho have been investigated, the report on which will shortly be issued; Adams and Washington, where the copper deposits of the Seven Devils and of the Heath District have bee n surveyed; Valley and Custer, where a reconnaissance
