HE Colorado School of Mines is in the south central part of the city of
Golden, Jefferson County. Golden is about fourteen miles west from
Denver and can be reached by the Denver and Intermountain Electric
Railway and by the Denver and Northwestern Electric Railway on Arap-
ahoe Street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, with half-hour service, or
by the Colorado and Southern Railroad from the Union Station, Denver.
The altitude of Golden is five thousand seven hundred feet above sea level, and four
hundred feet above Denver. The climate is invigorating and pleasant, with open winters, and
an unusually large proportion of clear days.
The region surrounding Golden is rich in characteristic Rocky Mountain scenery, and
within a few hours' walk from the town are to be found many of the scenic spots for which
Colorado is noted. The Mountain Park boulevards, part of the Denver Park system, con-
nect Golden and Denver and provide many interesting and beautiful trips into the hills for
the automobilist.
The Colorado School of Mines is well situated for combining both theory and practice
in teaching mining and metallurgical engineering.
The proximity of the institution to the large mines, mills and reduction plants of the
State enables its students to study operations at close hand. With the great variety of
metals produced in Colorado, including gold, silver, zinc, lead, copper, iron, uranium,
vanadium, radium and tungsten, no district in the world offers better opportunities for a
study of mining, metallurgy and geology. Further, a great variety of coals, fire and plastic
clays, are to be found in the vicinity of Golden.
Two new departments have recently been added, that of Safety Engineering, and Re-
search and Testing. The Experimental Ore Dressing Plant of the school serves as an
immense laboratory for the students, and for research and testing work.
