On the east part of the school grounds is lo-cated the central heating plant, containing an ag-gregate of 250 horsepower of boilers which supplyheat for the three large buildings mentioned above,and power for the metallurgical and other labor-atories by means of two 35 K. W. steam turbinesconnected to direct current generators. A. RELIEF MAP OF THE BLACK HILLS the JOHN CRERARLIBRARY STATE SCHOOL OF MINKS 1 7 third turbine unit similar to the above, but of sev-en K. W. is available for experimental work, anda three-panel switch board supplies building is built of stone and has adjoiningsheds with a large capacity tor the storage of is also in the boiler house a blacksmith shopfor instruction in forge work. Equipment In general, the school is well equipped to car-ry on its work. It has the essential of modern sci-entific technical instruction, ample laboratory fa-cilities in all required branches. Library The liibrary and reading room occupies a large,well lighted and well equipped room on the firstfloor of the Main building. Here are found thestandard works on Metallurgy, Mining, Geology,Chemistry, Engineering, Physics, Biology, Mathe-matics, English, History, Economics, and manyworks of a general nature.
