GEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SURVEYS. 293 



Sec. S. Specimens of all ores, nssayed or analyzed at said school, and of all 

 ores presented, sliall be kept in said niuseuni, and shall be properly marked 

 and catr.loiiued. in connection with the names of the depositors, finil a descrip- 

 tion of such ores, and such description of the locality from which the same 

 were obtained, as may be procured from reliable sources. With a view of 

 securing uniformity in the classification of rocks, the State mineralogist shall 

 procure and place in said museum characteristic specimens of all the principal 

 rocks, to each of which he shall attach the name and a description thereof, 

 and of the locality from which the same was procured, written, or printed in a 

 leirihle manner. 



Skc. 9. Said specimens, properly catalojrued, shall be deposited in the State 

 museum, where they, together with the catalosnes, shall be safely kept; and 

 at all reasonable hours they shall be subject to exannnation by any person 

 who shall conform to the rules and regulations prescribed by the State min- 

 eralogist for the government of said school, the museinn being regarded as a 

 part of the same. 



Sec. 10. In preparing such descriptions and arranging said specimens in the 

 museum carefid reference shall be had to the correct illustration of the min- 

 eral and other natural resources of this State, and the analogies existing be- 

 tween those of this State and those of other mining sections; and when, at a 

 reasonable cost, it is possible to do so, a statement as to the assay or analyses of 

 said specimens shall be embraced in said description. In addition to the 

 scientific terms iised in sucii descriptions, the terms in common use shall be 

 applied, and in all descriptions and reports the quantities and values, shall bo 

 given in the English langimge and in accordance with the standards adopted 

 by this State. 



Sec. 11. He shall, subject to the approval of the board of regents, prescribe 

 the course of studies to be pursued in said school ; said course and matiage- 

 nient of the school shall have special reference to the imparting of the com- 

 bined scientific and practical knowledge concerning the subject of mines and 

 mining and matters relating thereto. 



Sec. 12. He shall annually deliver at least one course of lectures on said 

 subject, at said school, or at such places within the State as the board of 

 regents may direct; and he shall, on or befoie the 1st day of October of 

 each year, make a report to the board of regents, in which he shall present 

 such facts and reconnnendations, in regard to mines and mining, and matters 

 relnting thereto, and in regard to the character and extent of the natural 

 resources of this State, as in his opinion are cjilcnlated to promote the full 

 development of the same. 



Sec. 13. In the course of his examinations he may, In his discretion, dis- 

 seminate information on such subjects, by means of free lectures or otherwise. 



Skc. 14. He shall take such compass bearings and barometrical and other 

 observations, and make such notes in regard to the same, and in regard to 

 approximate distances, as v/ill furnish materials for the outlines of a map of 

 the localities over which he shall have traveled in the course of his examina- 

 lions. He may procure, for the use of said school, maps and dir.grams of 

 mines, representing the different classes of mines, and illustrative of their 

 geological, mineralogical, and other leading characteristics, and Imving par- 

 ticular reference to the position in which the metalliferous deposits have been 

 found ; and he shall procure, or cause to be procured, drawings of mining 

 uiacliinery, and of machinery, furnaces, and other works, for the separation of 

 metals from the various ores, and the parti/ig of different metals. He may
