Pluiiiiner ' (ANHmrlutcd Press Feature Writer) WASHINGTON" (AP) From California to the border of Turk estan, Herbert Hoover's skill as a technician nnd coordinator has left its mark. Today, both at home and In the far flung centers of civilization, a multitude of proj ects bear evidence of his handi work.1 Hoover's career as a mining en gineer dates back to 1897. A gold boom was sweeping Australia. Only a short while out of Stanford uni versity, ho was afforded his first big opportunity. An English syn dicate wanted a young man cap able of Installing California meth ods of mining Into their properties. From then on his record was one of achievement, extending from the equator to the arctic. First lllg Job This first big job In tho desert wastes of Australia attracted the attention of his profession. Over stupendous odds, he determined metallurgical methods, designed equipment and planned develop ment wHh such skltl as to ut'ottse praise from; his superiors. Ho turned to China. That great empire was Just beginning to stir from Its long period of lethargy, and Its leaders were dreaming of establishing a modern industrial state. As a part of this program a bureau of mines was established and Hoover, now 24, selected as Its head. His task was to survey tho mining possibilities of the empire. The Boxer uprising, however, soon brought an end to this work. After the crisis of the rebellion Hoover cast his lot with a coal mining company In China, and suc cessfully aided in Its reorganiza tion. Later he became chief engi neer of the concern, a position he held until ilclgian interests gain ed control and he resigned. Position KtM'iiro Hoover's position as one of the foremost mining engineers of the world was by tills time secure. Up to this lime his fame rested on the fact that ho was an export tech nician. Henceforth ho was to be known as a coordinator, un admin istrator of industrial 'enterprises, on eliminator of waste nnd folly. I Ho became .a. pivot man and lead er to u group or engineers wno worked internationally, 1 lis headquarters were In Lon don, but he mostly wits anywhere cIko in the world. ' He maintained offices in New York and San Frun ,cisco. I Hack In Australia t He was back again In Australia. I soon. ISroken Hill claimed his at tention.

Kyshtlm, on the slope of the Ural mountains between Hussta and Siberia, was his next destina tion, Valuuble Iron and copper deposits were here, but the are ha lo methods employed hud failed to make them pay. Hoover and bis associates moved in nnd American methods were substituted. Not only did copper ami iron pour from this area, but sulphuric auld, distilled turpentine and ace to no as well. Hoover hud kept his eye on the by-product. ; From Kyshtlm ho moved to tho wild Altai region on the border of Turkestun. Here he discovered and opened up a treasure of buso met als, zinc in particular. Then to Malay From frigid Itussia Hoover mov ed Into the torrid Mayalun penin sular. Thirty miles above Mundu lay lies a valuuble deposit of met tats, both bane and precious. The problem here prcconcerned both chemistry and engineering and took years to solve. It finally was mastered. Hoover's genius Is also to bo seen In the United States. Dredging ut Orovllle and Folsom, Cul.; re claiming tule lands on the Sacra mento; extending gold mines ut Ouray.

Hurlng thusu busy years lie found time to put something of his knowledgo of tho fundamentals and details of his work into book form. "Principles of Minim?" has I been a standard text for students fof mining engineering since Its up ipearance In lOUlf. Previous to pub lication of this book, Hoover had I collaborated In the production of .'another culled "Economics of Mai ling." j In HH2, with tho aid of Mrs. ! Hoover, herself a graduate geolo gist, he privately published an Hngllsh translation of Agricola's "He Ite Mottulllcu,' the first great treatise on mining nnd metallurgy nnd mining, originally published In Latin In 1056. only Is the possibility of Increas ing the supply Indicated, but also of developing a product better suited to button making.
