The state school of mines, tho Utah conservation commission and tho Utah chapter of the American Mining con-Rreai, con-Rreai, In co-opcrntlon with the United Bute bureau of mine, have Joined In a plan to locate, claMlry, record and develop tho mineral resource of tho atato by collecting; all possible Information, In-formation, maklnit free determination of certain mineral specimens, Klvlnic rudimentary Instruction In prospect-In; prospect-In; nnd mining and maintaining n register of prosprctora and mining men to bring them In touch with prospective pros-pective Investors.

The courso of Instruction In prospecting pros-pecting and mining I nlrcady under way at the university, nnd tho other features of the plan will bo put In operation at once. The frco determination of mineral specimen, especially of the rarer mineral of tho state, I lnndu to meet a situation which I regarded an most Important. It U known tnat prospector prospec-tor frequently find specimen of pos-slblo pos-slblo great value which they discard because they are unable to determine their character and are reluctant to Incur tho expense of assay on nn un certainty, Thn school of mine laboratories lab-oratories will, tinder the plan, make free qualitative test of all specimen submitted, thus giving the owner of the specimen tho Information necessary neces-sary to decide whether ho desires to bear the expense of a commercial, or quantitative, anal) sis. A list of commercial com-mercial chemist nnd nssajcr of the state wlirito furnished to him, so that ho may make private arrangements for quantitative test If he desire. The quantitative test will not l made by the school of mine, a It Is not the Intent lo compete with private Interests. In fact, the administration of tho plan throughout will bo such a not to Invade the field of private enterprise, but Instead to supplement the activities of private Interest and occupy fields not now covered.
