OUR MINERAL RESOURCES.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. A deputation representing the School of Mines waited on the Hon. W. D. S. Mac Donald and urged the Department of Mines; to offer, say, ten bursaries of £SO, with fees for students living away from home. It was pointed out that at the end of the course it meant they would hare a claim on the services of these students. The deputation also suggested that better use be made by the ftaff investigating mining problems of the assistants provided. Professors Park, Waters, and Berison were able to do something regarding research into the mining problems of the country. The Minister expressed his agreement with the deputation. Last year only one man won a bursary. If he had not the power to do what was asked he was prepared to ask his colleagues to vote what [was necessary. The country could well afford to have a thorough expert exj amination of its mineral resources.
