State College Does Not
Assay or Examine Ore
"Don't send any more mineral
samples to Oregon State college for
assaying or examination," is the plea
of J. H. Batcheller, professor of min
ing engineering at OSC.
Despite the fact that a new state
department of geology and mineral
industries has been set up for more
than a year where such information
may be obtained free, an average of
seven to eight packages of ore a
week continue to come to the col
lege which now has no facilities for
handling them. Most of these sam
ples are sent from isolated areas
throughout Oregon.
A letter addressed to 704 Lewis
Building, Portland, will bring com
plete information on the type of
free assays and service which is
available from the new state de
partment of geology and mineral in
dustries. W. H. French was in from Blue
mountain ranch Monday. He report
ed the timbered region drying out
some with advent of warmer weath
er though still pretty soft in places.
He expected to leave next Monday
