Mr. Hotchkiss article, The Geologj of the GogebicRange and Its Relation to Recent Mining Develop-ment, the first installment of which begins on page443 in this issue, will be found interesting not onlyto those that are engaged in mining in the Lake Su-perior region but to all others who are concerned withthe study of geology applied to mining, and the en-couragement offered as to possibilities that may be ex-pected with further exploration is sufficient to convincemining men of the importance of this feature of theirindustry. 432 Engine EKING anc Mining Journal Vol. 108, No. 11. September 13, 1919 Engineering and Mining Journal 433 Some Facts and Figures About the A. I. M. E. THE memoership of the American Institute ofMining and Metallurgical Engineers is composedof men engaged in the different branches ofmining, metallurgy, geology, and chemistry. Althoughmetallurgy was always considered to be within its field,it was believed that many metallurgists had been re-luctant to join what they erroneously considered, be-cause of the former designation, American Institute ofMining Engineers, solely a society of mining engineers,despite the fact that over 35 per cent of the paperspublished in the Transactions during the last five yearshave dealt with metallurgical subjects. It was there-fore thought advisable to change the name to theAmerican Institute of Mining and Metallurgical En-gineers, and it was so voted by the members on Feb. Iron and Steel—Joseph W. Richards, Chairman. Reduction and Refining ok Lead—Heinrich O. Hof
