Show Metallurgical Research in Utah Utah By Ira C. C Tichenor THERE HERE has just be been n issued by the of Utah press a T 1 descriptive bulletin of the department of metallurgical research of the state school ol of mines University of Utah The work is by byTho Tho Thomas as Varley metallurgist G. G F. F Moses metallurgist of the States Bureau of ot Mines and R. R II H. Bradford and R. R S. S Lewis of ot the University University sity cIty of ot Utah The bulletin whiCh which Is published by bY bYthe the University of or Utah State School of ot Mines In cooperation with the United States Bureau of ot Mines is 15 a a. pamphlet consisting of ot about fitly fifty pages illustrated with reproductions of ot two thirty-two photographs of ot laboratory views and arid individual pieces of or modern machinery with which the the research work woric is Is' Is conducted This machinery ranges front from a ponderous volatilization kiln composed of ot cement to to delicate scales whose balance would be turned by the weight of ot a Do hair tit It Is stated that in order to handle rapidly the large lare volume of ot analytical and and chemical work necessary in making metallurgical tests the station Is equipped with three laboratories the laboratories the chemical the fire assay and the fel- fel Jo each each equipped with all modern appliances appliances' The importance of ot the Utah station is indicated by the tact fact that the United States Bureau of ot Mines lInes in an excellently equipped microscopic laboratory lab lab- oratory ora not only works on Utah ores but performs microscopic service for r bureau of ot mines stations in the West est and handles a a. considerable amount of ot photographic preparatory and determinative work submitted by sources IA A A. year ago the headquarters for tor all of ot the ore dressing work of ot the United States Stales Bureau of ot Mines was centered at Salt Lake City with Thomas Va Jey a as superintendent in charge That the importance of ot of the Utah station Is recognized generally by ml mining ing interests throughout the country is shown by the fact tact that during th the the- past year ear applications were received from seven forty-seven different mining co companies In various arious states asking for cooperation in solving treatment problems for grade and complex ores Most certainly Utah is to be congratulated upon having established in inthis inthis this th's center of mining activities an institution of ot such magnitude and value to the mining industry and one which evidently is keeping pace with the the progress ress of ot metallurgical science |
