U of I Surrounded by Natural Wonders and Rich Mines Since its beginning, the school hllls devoted extensive resedrch to many valuable projects. By working together with the Idaho Bu~u 01 Mines and Geology to gather b",sic information on the minerllli resources of Idaho, the school has found extensions of old ore boclies and discovered new ones. Benefits in the field of mineral processing over the years should be estimated in millions of dollars for the state alone-hundreds of millions on a world-wide basis-for many ore-processing machines and techniques, such as Dean Fahrenwald's flotation process, are in use in mining districts all over the world. Remodeling 01 the Metallurgy building this year caused a shilt in the offices of the school. Professor W. W. Staley's office was moved to the temporary Metallurgy building ocross the street from the university heating plant. Professor Staley occompanies miners on their field trips and tours of field inspection to mining districts of the state. Students of geology and mineralogy have their centers of study ideally situoted in locations unrivaled for their neorness 10 nalural wonders such os the Craters 01 the Moon, the "River of No Return," ond Snake River's "Hell's Canyon," parts of which ore the deepesl on the continent. Mining students receive their classroom and field training from a university that is located in the geographical heart of 0 vost mineral area.
