Predicts Expansion of Coal Business

MSM ALU M NUS M AGAZINE

At New York Meeting

Below is ' an abstract of a talk given by Dr. Clayton G. Ball, vice-president, Paul Weir Company, Mining Engi neers and Geologists , at a meetin g of the Chicago S ection , which meeting was writt e n up in the last issue of the Alumm;s. This meeting was held January 21 a t the Chicag o Eng ineers Club . The abstract Js reproduced through the cooperation of W . P. Ruemmler, ' 38 , director of the Chicago area. THE OUTLOOK FOR COAL Althoug h th e coal indl!stry is at some times and in some places bein g pop u la rly described as a " dying" industry , ana l y ses of its past and 'p resent situation do not support this viewpoint w hile conservative appr a isal s of the future vig orously rebut this misconception. It CQn probably be stated categoric211y tha t if one believes in th e industrial futur e of this coun t1y , one must, perforce , believe in the continued health and future expan s:on of th e coal business. I n review , and speaki ng on l y of bitumirous coal and lignite , an a 11time annu a l production r ecord was set in 1918 with th e outp u t of 579 ,000,000 tons not being s urpassed for 25 years, shrinking, in fact , to a l ow of 31 0,000 ,00 0 tons in 1932, which was the l owest annual p r oduction since 1904. B eginning in 1942, th e annua l production of coal surpassed the 1918 record in 5 of the subseq u ent 10 y ears, a chi e vin g a n ewall-tim e r e cord of 631,000.000 to n s in 1947 . Whil e shrinkin g to but 438 ,000,000 tons .in 1949 , annua l coal production ro se to 516 ,000 ,000 tons in 1950 , 532,000 ,000 ton s in 1951 , and appare ntl y will rise t o a conse rva tiv e l y estimate d 560 ,000 ,000 tons in 1952. D espite w ell-public ize d losses of coals m a rk e ts to Diese l fu e l for railroads and to n a tural gas for h o use hold h eating, th es e figur es do not s ugg es t th e d eath-throes of a basic indu stry.

See story on P age 8 a nd 9. ge in the above, rel atively minor fie lds of consumption. Since 1926, the production of e lectric energ y has co n sistently doubled during each decade and there is no visible s.ign tha t demand has reached or i3 approaching the point of saturation. The steel output in 1951, t.1eas ul'c d in terms of ingot tons, was approximatel y doubl e that of 25 years ago, with current demand t e ing su ch as to evoke the fu ll cap~city of every oven a nd furnac e in the co u ntry . General ind u strial production h as increased over 200 pe r cent since 1926, with its continuin g and ex p and ing growth being cl ea rly indicated in eve r y dom estic fi e ld from agric ulture to lu x ur y items. The total energ y demand , in short, is expandin g at accum ul ative rates which but reflect th e productive record and futur e of t1l is nation. Coal, r egarded sole ly from th e standpoint of be ing a source of heat an d p ower, repr esents a basic but vit':. l ingredient to the growth s suggested above. Exclusiv of a ll oth e r uses, the need for approximate l y 400 ,000 ,000 tons of coal in 1951 for utility , s t ee l a nd gen e r e ral i ndu s tri a l r equir e m e nts, m ig ht increase very con serv a tiv e l y to a t l east 800 ,000 ,000 tons durin g tLe n e xt 25 years , eve n thou g h it is also assumed th a t rates of increas es in d e mand for o th e r fu e ls wi ll i n crease more t ha n prop o rti a nate l y. Th e a dd.itional d e mand

t1>at could be occasioned by d evelopment of n ew uses for coal in the chem ical and synthetic fue l industrie:..: d urin g a s imi l a r period might conce ivably add at l east 100,000,000 or 200,000 ,000 additiona l tons . H oped-for improve ments in l evels 'O f industrial activity in foreign countries not now posses·s ing coal ,resou'r ces ,c o uld alISO grea tly dncrea,s e present coal e xports from this co untr y. T,he national coal resources, t h e methods and utiliz:ation, and the prodiuctive capacities of the coal in.du stry are ,a dequate to s upply these anticipated increases in de mand. Whil e it is true th at many coals .of s'l1perio,r l ocation , thickness and mining Ciharacteristics have been d epleted or are approaching ex h austion, improving technologies in min·in.g and preparation are 'ca,pa'b1e of producing satisfactory coa l ,s upplies fraun the r e l ative l y infer-1or coals of the present an d fut ure. r'm prov'e ments in coa l te chnology are seldom revolu tionary but in the main are steadily evolutionary. Coal industries' needs, both now and ·i n the future, are readily perce ived tin this developing situ ation of 'i ncreased d emand. High levels of engineering ·i nitiative and leadship a r e cle arl y requ·ired an the handling of from five to eight hundr ed million or more tons of mater-ial per y e ar.

Geology Department at MSM Stresses Practical Need, Besides Basic Concept B y Olive r R. G r awe Geol ogy has been ta u gh t at 1I.1.S.M . since the very beginning of school in 1871. From 1871 to 1895 the courses in geol ogy were taught in the old Rolla Building an d from 1895 to 1907 ,in the old Mining and Metall urgy Build ing , which afterward became the old power p 1ant. Many of the courses taught by the Directors of the School: C. P. Willi-ams (187 1-1877), C. E . Wait (1877- 1888), W. H. Echols (1888-1893) and G. E. Ladd (18891907 ). When, by action of the General Assembly the, Missouri Geol ogical Survey was transferred from Columbia to Rolla on March 18, 1875, Director Williams was appointed State Geologist. He then headed both the School and the Survey and taught courses .in geology as well. In accord ance with the legisative act, the State Geologist was to have cordance with the legislative act, the State Geologist was to have been the Professor of G eology in the School of Mines . When such a professorship was not provided by the School, in 1877 the Survey was abolished for a time and then set up in Jefferson City. Dr . L add came to the School jn 1889 and became director of the School in 1897 . In 1898 he was appointed Professor of Mining and Geology . This was the first time a professorship included geology. In 1903 L add moved his executive office to the second floor of the then newly constructed Norwood H all and, since he taught the courses in geol ogy, the D epartment was moved to the second floor of N 01'wood Hall where ,it has remained. Under Dr. Ladd's l eadership a separate Department of Geology was created in 1907, and L . S. Griswold, who had come to the School in 1903, was appoi nted as the first Professor of Geology and Cha irman of the D epartment. Succeding chairmen have been: Guy H. Cox (1910-1920 ) , C. L . D ake (1920-1934) , G. A. Mu ilenburg ( 1934-1945) . and O . R. Grawe (1945-present) . The Geology Dep artme nt primarily is a service department and is not included among the so-called degree-granting departments, although ,in the school year 1930-31 it was one of the depart-

ments, a u thorized to offer a major in the Science curriculum . In 1945 , for the first time, the D epartment published its own curriculum as an option in the Science curriculum . T his curriculum leads to the degree B.S. in Science ,G eology Option . It serves a real need for those students who primarily wish to become geologists, mineralogists, p etro g l' a p her s, paleontologists, stratigraphers, geop h ysicists or some other t y p e of specialist in the earth sciences. In the post w a r period , as many as 57 students were reg.:stered in this curriculum and at the present time 22 are enrolled . The principal teaching l oad, ho wever , continues to be in service courses for Ceramic Engineer-

ing , Civil Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, and Mining Eng inee ring. Currently, 28 courses are being taught b y 8 full-time staff members and 2 graduate assistants. These courses are bein g att ended by 369 students. The Geology D epartment is one of four departments on the M.S.M. campus which are authorized by the University of Missouri to offer a compl ete program lea ding to the gr anting of the Ph.D d e gree by the University . Since the D epartment's efforts have been devoted so largely to undergraduate teaching, the privilege extend ed by t h e University has been held in high r egard and not exercised unduly and work leading toward the Ph .D. has been offered to only a f ew students. At the present time, two Ph.D . c,andidates now are reg istered in the Department. In Ju ne of this year the D epartment, for the first time , expects to r ecommend tha t the University gr ant a Ph.D . to one of these men. Work leading toward the Master's d egree h as been offered for about 25 years. At the present time, the r e ,a r e two candidates for the Master's degree in the D epartment ; one comin g from the University of Minnesota , the other from the University of L ondon , England . The Geology D epartment at M.S.M. has been a leader among geol ogy departments in the country in insisting that its students r eceive much of the same fundamental training as that required of engineers . Two and one half year s of chemistry, including one semester of physical chemistry, two years of math ematics, one year of physics, one year of economics , two yea rs of English, one year of drawing, one course in plane surveying, and two years of a for eign l anguage are required in addition to 48 hours of geology. A nu mber of fr ee electives permit s tud ents in geology to select courses in en gineering or humanities in accord ance with their special interests. This gives a highly desirable fl exib ility to the curriculum. The courses in foreign l angu age make it possible for our students to enter the graduate schools of th e country's l eading universities witho ut having to take l anguages in ·add ition to a full graduate schedul e. The Department always has emph asized the practical val ue of geology without n egl ecting basic (Contin u ed on Page 5)

Geology Department ( Contiriue d From P a'ge 3) concepts and fundamental principles. Its staff has been active and well known. George E. Ladd was one of the first to apply geology to civil engineering in Amer,ica. G _ H. Cox was a well known petroleum geologist. V . H. McNutt play ed an important role in establishing the great potash industry lD New Mexico. C. L . Dake and Josiah Bridge became well kn own in stratigraphy through the publication of such papers as The Problem of the S1. Peter Sandstone, The Geology of the Potosi-Edgehill Quadrangle, and The Geology of the Eminence-Cardareva Quadrangles. G. F. Barnwell did much to develop the oil resources in the Dutch East Indies for the Royal Dutch Shell Company and John S . Brown , Chief Geologist of the St. Joseph L ead Company, is on e of the country's outstanding mining geologists. Space does not permit the narration of the practical achievements of other staff members, but those listed .a bove suffice to show that instruction in the D e partment has been in the hands of men w ho have app lied their knowledge. The present full-time staff of

e ight is composed of a number of vigorous , enthusiastic, -and welltrained young men. It is the largest staff the Department ever had except during the time of the peak enrollment following World War II, when 10 full-tim e men were employed. D. L. Frizzell (Ph. D ) Stanford University, 1936) , Associate Prof essor of G eology, and a former petrol eum paleonthologist, is lint ernationally known for his publications in th e fi eld of micropaleontol ogy , particularly for those d ea ling with foraminif era. H e is devoting much of .his time to r e search in this fie ld and h as already for the press an illustrated catalogue of the Cretaceous foraminifera of Te xas. This work has been done in conjunction with the University of Texas, Bureau of Economic G e ology. As might be expected, Dr. Frizzell teaches courses in paleontology, micropaleo ntology and stratigraphy. V. G. G a brie l (Sc.D. Colorado S(;hool of Mines, 1933 ), Associate Professor fo Geoph ysics , h as a number of publications to h~s e: redit in geo physics and in structural geology . Between 1933 and 1949 he was e ngaged in geophy sical exploration for sev eral geophys ical companies . H e handles the courses in geophysics and in

University of Minn esota , 1941 ), Associate Professor of Economic Geology , has had experience as a r egional p etroleum geologJst both in this country a nd in South America . He has don e geologic work on the l ea d-zinc d eposits of Wisconsin and was emplo yed as a con/3uitant in eva,l uating co al deposits in I ndi.ana and in W est Virgini a. In a ddition to teaching e conomic geol ogy, h e ha s become inter ested in the applications of geology to the coal industry ·a nd is offering a course in this subj ect to 11 students during the present semester. H e a lso teaches the courses in petrole um geology in which the laboratory section is d evoted to subsurface techniques and mapping m ethods. During the summe r. Mr. Morga n will be en gage d in geologic mapping in Cannda for a major oil company. Mr. Morgan was a member of the tennis squad at the University of Minnesota during his student days and no w contributes part of his time to coac hing tenn is at M.S.M_

The honors go to Lambda Chi Alpha in the St. Pat's Parade.

W. R. Higgs (M.S. University of Alabam a , 1949 ) , instructor in Geology, t eaches the courses in physical a nd historical geology , in groundwa t er geology and in glacial geology. H e is en gaged in a study of the for a minifera of th e

Mooreville chalk of Alabama under the sup ervision of Dr . Frizzell. H e has had practical ex p er.ience in m,ining geology in the Birmingham district of Alabama, and in geophysical prospecting and petroleum geology in Mississippi and Louisiana. M. P. Nackowski (M.S. Missouri School of Mines, 1949 ) , came to the Department as ·a n Instructor in Geology in 1947, yet with the exception of the Chairman , he has been on the staff longer than any ot·her man. He is engaged in the application of geoc.hemical prospecting to the finding of fluorspar in southern Illinois ,a nd western Kentucky. His work ,is being carried out in close cooper·a tion with several important producers in the area, and under the supervision of Dr. Grawe. It will be presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph .D . degree in June of this year. Mr. Nackowski has had pr,actical experience .a s a mining geologist in Nevada, holds a bachelor's degree from the University of California and currently is teaching courses in lithology and mineragraphy 'a s well as ,assisting in the teaching of mineralogy. During the summer, Mr. Nackowski will be employed by one of the major fluorspar producers in southern Ilinois. Since 1947, the Geology Department at M .S.M. has been cooperating with the Geology Department at the University of Missour,i in furnishing students, and occasionally instructors, for the Summer Field Camp. Although a course in field geology is offered in Rolla it is not possible to present such a course in an adequate manner during the regular school year. All day Saturday and many Sundays are spent lin studying geology in the field and in learning instrumental techniques , but all students are ,a pprised of the inability of the staff to present such a field course adequately during the regular sc·hool year and all students are strongly urged to spend at least one summer session (8 weeks) at the University of Missouri field camp near Lander, Wyoming where a great variety of geological phenomena are plainly exposed. The Department would like to require such a course in its curriculum but the finances of some students do not 'p ermit the spending of their funds during the summer and the loss of a summer's work. The Geology Depart-

ment ,at M.S.M. and that at the University compliment one another and the two work togethel harmoniously. A stEdy of the graduates who have gone into geology was made about two y e ars ago . It showed that 51 % are engaged .in petroleum geology , 10 % in mining geology, 7 % in teaching, 7 % in state and federal survey work, and 3 % in geophysics . The others either a re taking graduate work at various schools , are in the armed services, or are engaged by highway departments, railroads, ,industry , or are in consulting businesses of their own. By giving a broad, basic training with an engineering aspect, the Department is preparing its students to enter any of the diverse tields in which geologists are employed. Although the Geology Department has done a fairly good job of teaching in the past, it is preparing to do even better in the future. Those alumni who return to Rolla at the next Homecoming or at any other time, are cordially invited to inspect the De-: partment. In September 1952, the Department will occupy the third floor of Norwood Hall as well as the second. In recent years, the Geology Department has partially encroached upon the third floor , but soon it will take over the whole floor. The floor has been completely remodeled in accordance with suggestions made by the Department. New laboratories ,and offices have been established and a lecture room designed to seat about 90 students, has been provided . The floors have been refinished and a new color scheme has been adopted to get away from the old "institutional buff."

On the opposit e page is an advertiseme nt regarding the Kennecott Copper Corporation that has appeared in the Uta.h newspapers. This information was made available to the Alumnus through the good offices of Dr. E. W. Engelmann, ' 11, General Superintendent of Mills , Kennecott Copper Corporation , Salt Lake City, Utah, and is not a pa.id advertisment, being published as news of general interest to Alumni as illustrating the outstanding achievements of Dr. D. C . Jackling, MSM '92. Dr. J ,a ckling pioneered in the treatment of low-grade copper ores and the cut on the opposite page gives an idea 'of the beginning of his epochical work, and its consequence to our country. shops. The whole job, so to speak, is an inside one ,a nd the department is being made ,i n the School shops. The whole job, so to speak, is an inside one and the D epartment hopes that the alumni will come to see it and be pleased. The Department will continue to grow if adequate funds for staff and equipment can be provided. Up to the present time, the emphasis of the Department has been placed on teac·hing. This :it will continue to do, but if the staff can be maintained ,at a level where every man can have some free time and if some new pieces of equipment can be aded, the research program of the Department can be materially increased. This is the goal for the future. Every a lumnus can help . Specimens of minerals, fossils and rocks, w ell cuthlngs, geophysical data , well logs, etc . are always appreciatively received . Many alumni have helped in the past by sending us such materials, or by letting us know where discarded but useful equipment may be obtained free or c.heap, or by conducting trips, or by inducing students to come to M. S. M. To these we take this opportunity to express our thanks and agai n say, " Come see us sometime' . Have you attended section meetings?

will d. inue ;tafi ded.

Together, the people of Utah and your neighbor, Utah Copper, have come a long way from a pioneer beginning. Because of this we all live better. The mine at Bingham, and a remnant from the original Rogers stamp mill show iust how far we have come. The Rogers mill was used by Daniel C. Jackling in 1899 to test ore from the mine. It was the beginning of a new era in copper-an era that proved the mine at Bingham was not a worthless part of Utah's lcindscape, as some experts then believed, but a vast source of vitally needed copper. This pioneering made possible the development of a Utah enterprise that produces 30 1'0 of our nation's new copper. Over the years, Utah Copper has been able to increase its purchase of supplies, add to its payrolls and meet higher tax payments. This has benefitted everyone in our State. These benefits have grown through the years, because Utah Copper has developed new methods and machines to keep production up, even though the copper content of the ore has gone down. Because Jackling and his associates had the vision to foresee a better way to obtain copper, the courage to test the ir vision, and the skill to prove it, the people of Utah live better.

HFred Shayes Day" at Corpus Christi The Corpus Christi Geological Society conducted a " Fred Shayes Day" on December 28 , 1951, to honor the many contributions Fred Shayes , MSM '17, has made to geology and to the oil industry . The meeting was started by W. M. Chaddick, Jr. , President of the Society who introduced C. C. Miller, a member of the Society and a personal fr·iend of Fred, who gave a brief sketch of Fre d 's life and his contributions to the geological profession and to the oil and gas industry in general. Mr. Miller told his audience of Fred's graduation from the Missouri School of Mines ,in 1917, and of his first job with the old Roxana Petroleum Company in Gar ber, Oklahoma. After a year with the company he took a job with State of Louisiana in the Minerals Division of the Department of Conservation where he found himself .in the laboratory conducting experiments in mud l aden fluids. He ran the original experiments on mud l aden fluids in the labora tory of the Huber Corporation at Schwartz, Louisi·a na, as the Minerals Division did not have a laboratory. Lead was tried £irst, but it settled out too quickly; then iron oxide and later barium, present base of most drilling muds. Fred was so busy perfecting the mud that he overlooked the possibility of patenting the discovery, a little oversight that cost him $7 ,000 ,000 , a fact that was proved by a business associate who took out patent rights and collected that amo unt in royalties . Fred later made another discovery with W . W. " Doc" Hammond, that of identifying oil shows in cores and drilling mud by means of fluorescent light. This was patented , but no royalties have been received from th e patent rights . Fred went to Texas as d.istrict geologist for the Houston Oil Company and established headquarters in Bee ville , and remained with this company until 1930 when he joined the Union Producing Company as geologist in charge of their southwest Texas District, where he .introduced many n ew ideas . It is said that h e is probably one of the first to see the valu e of pale on tology. Fre d became District Manager

Miller's account of Fred w a s followed by many personal tributes from men who had known Fred and worked with him. The meeting was brought to a close by the elec-

The Los Angeles Section celebrated St. Pat's in the usual atmosphere of fun and fr,ivolity on Saturda y , March 15 at the Redwood House. Fifty-four reservations were made, which was our largest meeting to date, or would have been , if Old Jupiter Pluvius hadn't put a Mickey Finn in the Egg Nog. After the famous California liquid sunshine stopped precipitating, some of our streets were rivers and some of our intersection were bkes. (Please don 't let this get into the hands of the L. A . Chamber of Commerce or yours truly will be banished from this Garden of Ed en as a traitor.) As a result a number of OUT most ardent and loyal Sons of St. Patrick were grounded, including the spec.ial guests of honor.

Mrs. Christia n owns h er own home, 'f well built cottage but which, due to h e r declining yea r s h a s fall en into disrep a ir. Th e boys through the h elp of Dr. Schrenk 's "life , w ho ,is acquainted with Mrs. Christian, gained her p ermission to undertake the proj ect and they entered upon it with vigor and e nthusiasm. The boys , apply ing their en gin eering training, m ad e a careful estimate of what the proj ect would cost. To their disma y the bill, which included replac in g a picket fe nce with new boards, came to approximately $9 0.00 . They were afraid the y couldn't r aise that much money so D ean Wilson suggested they see Robert Lange of Powell Lu mber Company . Lange, who is a graduate of the School of Mines, thou ght the project was an excellent idea and after fig ur~ n g the m a terial at cost, cut the bill in half. One of the first things th e boys und erto ok was the r emov a l of the old f ence and r e plncing it with n ew lumber, then they gave th e new f ence a thorough coat of w hite paint.

The boys lifted the slabs , l eveled this up, and put the sidewalk into a l ev el condition once more. They also built a small sidewalk out of brick , as one of the pledges had had experience in bricklaying, and did an excellent job. The boys' enthusiasm has not abated and they are hopeful of returnin g w,ith the coming of spring to p a int the entire house and straighten up some of the buildings in the rear. They estimate that so far they h ave put in 17 5 man hours on the project. Mrs. Christian was deeply appreciative and offered the boys a tur.key, which she had grown in h er bac k yard, for the.ir Easter dinn er but they declined it graciously.
