Item	Amount
Debt against the credit of 1909	778 rub. 68 kop.
Overexpenditure	387 rub. 39 kop.

The overexpenditure of 387 rub. 39 kop. is explained by the fact that, from the credit of 1908, owing to accidental causes, it was necessary to pay 255 rub. 75 kop. for printing the article by A. V. Ugarov, “The Staff Pole,” 55 rub. 55 kop. (from the advance) for the drawings to it, and 85 rub. for drawings to the article by A. E. Sabek, “Analysis of Clays,” altogether 396 rub. 30 kop., whereas these articles will be included in the Izvestia for 1909 and were not intended by the editor for payment in 1908.

During 1909, the working funds for the publication of the Izvestia are expected to be as follows:

1. Regular appropriation for 1909: 1,500 rub. 00 kop.
   Balance from 1908: 391 rub. 29 kop.
   Total: 1,891 rub. 29 kop.

2. From special funds:

Item	Amount	Balance
Appropriation requested, in accordance with § 1 of the rules for the publication of the Izvestia	1,500 rub. 00 kop.
Covering the debt of 1908	778 rub. 68 kop.	721 rub. 32 kop.
Total		2,612 rub. 61 kop.

During 1908, vols. 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the Izvestia were issued; the individual articles included in them were printed in Tomsk—in the printing houses of the Siberian Printing Association, the “Yakovlev Printing House” Association, and “Orlova”; in Kharkov—in the Zilberberg printing house; and in Kazan—in the University printing house.

The Izvestia is printed in a quantity of 400 copies and is distributed, in addition to honorary members, professors, instructors, and laboratory assistants of the Institute, also to various institutions in exchange for the journals and other periodical publications issued by them, which are transferred to the Institute Library. At present the Library is engaged in exchange with 100 institutions in Russia and 2 in America.

During the reporting year, 9 practical students completed the full course of laboratory practice in organic chemistry.

Botanical Laboratory

Head: Prof. V. V. Sapozhnikov.

During the reporting year the laboratory acquired: a chemical table, two cabinets, razors, and other items, for a total of 187 rubles 55 kopecks.

The laboratory’s instructional activity in the reporting year consisted of: 1) lectures in the course of general botany—2 hours per week; 2) lectures in the special course of zymotechnics—1 hour per week; and 3) practical work with students in plant anatomy and zymotechnics. Owing to the considerable number of those wishing to work in plant anatomy and the shortage of microscopes (12), the students had to work in turns, in groups.

In the spring semester of 1908, 30 persons completed the practical course in plant anatomy; they had worked throughout the academic year 2 times per week, 2 hours each time.

In the autumn semester of 1908 the work was likewise conducted 2 times per week, but for 4 hours each time. The course was completed in January of the current year, and 29 persons received credit.

At present two new groups (30 persons) have begun work, and more than 20 persons remain registered for the next turn.

Practical classes in zymotechnics are conducted once a week; on other days, under the direction of the laboratory assistant, the students make observations on the growth of cultures, on the development of microorganisms, and so forth.

In the spring semester of 1908, 8 persons completed the course of work; at present 16 persons are working.

At the end of the reporting year, with the permission of the Institute’s Economic Committee (meeting of April 7, 1908), the botanical laboratory undertook the distribution of pure yeast cultures among Siberian distilleries and yeast factories. During the year, yeast was sold for 105 rubles.

In the reporting year the botanical laboratory continued the experiments begun earlier on the fermentation of honey and berry juice. At the horticultural exhibition in Tomsk, in September 1908, the honey and berry wines received an honorable mention from the Tomsk Horticultural Society. The successful continuation of experiments in this direction is greatly hindered by the laboratory’s lack of a room with a constant low temperature.

Mineralogical Cabinet

Head: Prof. A. V. Lavrsky.

Until the beginning of the 1908/9 academic year the cabinet was under the direction of Prof. V. A. Obruchev, and from that time under the direction of Prof. A. V. Lavrsky.

As of January 1, 1908, according to the inventory, the cabinet contained:

No.	Item	Specimens	Rubles	Kopecks
1)	Furniture, office supplies, and so forth	389	5055	07
2)	Apparatus, instruments, specimens	1678	6343	09
3)	Models	1983	2339	76
4)	Charts, geographical maps, and so forth	269	259	38
5)	Minerals in hand specimens	2761	4634	56
6)	Books and brochures	261	1083	23
	Total	7341	19715	09

During 1908 the following were received:

No.	Item	Specimens	Rubles	Kopecks
1)	Furniture, office supplies, and so forth	16	14	40
2)	Apparatus, instruments, specimens	17	88	38
3)	Models	11	38	75
4)	Charts, geographical maps, and so forth	1	00	57
5)	Minerals in hand specimens	100	166	62
6)	Books and brochures	9	24	04
	Total	154	332	76

Thus, as of January 1, 1909, according to the inventory of the cabinet, there were:

No.	Item	Specimens	Rubles	Kopecks
1)	Furniture, office supplies, and so forth	405	5069	47
2)	Apparatus, instruments, specimens	1695	6431	47
3)	Models	1994	2378	51
4)	Charts, geographical maps, and so forth	270	259	95
5)	Minerals in hand specimens	2861	4801	18
6)	Books and brochures	270	1107	27
	Total	7495	20047	85

According to the material ledger, for the past year 1908 the expenditure for the maintenance of the cabinet and laboratory is recorded in the amount of 460 rubles 09 kopecks.

This sum, as well as the numerical data on accessions by inventory in 1908, is approximate, owing to the absence of exact data for converting sums calculated in foreign currency into Russian money.

There were no major acquisitions in the reporting year, in view of the insufficiency of monetary funds.

As a gift to the cabinet during the reporting year there were received:

1) In the mineral section: from Prof. L. L. Tove—specimens of rock crystal and amazon stone from the vicinity of Pike’s Peak in North America; from N. Ya. Verevkin—several pieces of beryl and wolframite from the Transbaikal region; from the heirs of the gold-miner Astashev (through Prof. V. A. Obruchev)—a large collection of ores and minerals (264 numbers) from various localities; from D. V. Zhuravlev—ores and minerals from the Fergana region; from N. V. Popov—specimens of galena and other minerals from the Primorskaya region. In addition, mention should be made of a number of individual donations from students of the Institute and other persons.

2) In the book section: from I. N. Tanatar—his work, Tables for the Determination of Minerals with the Aid of a Blowpipe and Microscope; from P. P. Pilipenko—several brochures.

I. Work in the mineralogical laboratory.

A) In the spring half-year of the reporting year, students who had not completed their work in the preceding semesters worked in the laboratory. The laboratory was opened for work on January 8 and closed on May 1. The work consisted in determining minerals: a) non-silicates and b) silicates, with the aid of the blowpipe. Each worker was required, with the assistance and instructions of the supervisors, laboratory assistants A. V. Emelyanov and P. P. Pilipenko (the latter until April 1), to determine no fewer than 45 tasks in each of the two above-named sections of minerals; in conclusion, two control tasks were given for independent solution. Students of the chemical section worked according to another (abridged) program. They were given 35 tasks for determination (30 on non-silicate minerals and 5 on silicate minerals) and two control tasks.

During the period from January 8 to May 1, 10 persons enrolled for the work and completed their assignments. Of these, 6 were students of the mining section and 4 of the chemical section. All of them received credits.

B) In the autumn half-year the laboratory was opened for classes on September 13; work in it continued until December 23. During this time 70 persons enrolled for classes; of these, 33 were students of the mining division and 37 of the chemical division. The overwhelming majority of those enrolled did not yet have the credits necessary for beginning work in the mineralogical laboratory. Therefore, in the autumn half-year only 7 persons in all worked: 6 students of the mining division and 1 of the chemical division. By the end of the half-year, 5 students of the mining division and 1 of the chemical division had completed their work and received credit.

II. Classes in the mineralogical cabinet

A) In the spring half-year there were no systematic classes;

B) Autumn half-year.

a) Classes of students in the study of the optical properties of minerals.

Since, according to the program of the mining division, these classes are assigned to the spring semester of the academic year, in the autumn semester optical phenomena in minerals were studied only by individual persons who had previously attended the course in general mineralogy. Of the small number of those engaged, only 1 student of the mining division fully completed his classes and received credit.

b) Classes in the study of the crystalline forms of minerals.

The classes consisted in the students’ study, using models, under the guidance of Prof. A. V. Lavrsky and laboratory assistant A. V. Emelyanov, of geometrical crystallography. From the middle of the autumn semester, for students of the mining, chemical, and civil-engineering divisions, practical classes in this section of mineralogy were arranged under the guidance of Prof. A. V. Lavrsky (in the evenings and on Sundays): 4 hours per week for students of the mining division, and 2 hours per week for students of the chemical and civil-engineering divisions.

c) Classes in the study of descriptive mineralogy.

In the autumn semester 20 students worked in the cabinet. In view of the fact that the course in descriptive mineralogy had not yet been completed, only 4 students of the mining division and 1 of the civil-engineering division succeeded in completing the indicated practical work and received credits.

d) Classes in the identification of minerals by means of microscopic observations.

In view of the fact that the description of silicates, most fully characterized microscopically, had not yet been given in lectures, these classes—

classes were conducted only with individual students who had previously familiarized themselves with the theory. Credit was received by 4 students of the Mining Department and 1 student of the Civil-Engineering Department.

From all of the above it follows that the students’ theoretical unpreparedness, caused by the year-long interruption in teaching, did not allow the cabinet and laboratory to function properly in the past year, 1908. The extreme scarcity of funds also impeded the preparation of practical classes for the coming year, 1909, as is evident from the annual budget cited above, which does not exceed 800 rubles.

Geological Cabinet.

Head: Prof. V. A. Obruchev.

For the geological cabinet in 1908 the following acquisitions were made:

In all, according to the inventory, 510 items were received, in 4178 specimens, for a total sum of 3042 rubles 05 kopecks; including:

1) Books and maps: 424 titles in 498 volumes (and issues), amounting to . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 878 rubles 10 kopecks.
(Of these, 20 titles in 20 volumes were received as gifts from Messrs. Dobrozhinsky, Kazansky, Obruchev, Peretolchin, Petunnikov, von Petz, Protodeaconov, Semenchenko, and the Taurida Provincial Zemstvo Board).

2) Collections of rocks and useful minerals: 33 names in 1508 specimens, amounting to 648 rubles 15 kopecks.
(Of these, 19 names in 341 specimens were received as gifts from Eng. Kolesnikov and Konradi, G. N. Potanin, V. V. Sapozhnikov, L. L. Tove and V. A. Obruchev, A. S. Olenin, the manager of the Kolyvan plant of the Altai District, the Mineralogical Cabinet of the Institute, and students of the Mining Department Messrs. Belousov, Devashin, Glodovsky, Kalnyn, Mazurkevich, Mochalov, Nifantov, Stepanov, and Tyulpanov).

3) Thin sections of rocks: 17 names in 1541 specimens . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 877 rubles 50 kopecks.

4) Lantern slides for lectures, 6 titles in 595 copies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 288 rub. 35 kop.

5) Accessories for microscopes, 3 titles in 3 copies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 88 rub. 25 kop.

6) Field instruments, 1 title in 4 copies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 rub. 00 kop.

7) Photographs, models, and charts, 8 titles in 11 copies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25 rub. 65 kop.

8) Laboratory accessories, 12 titles in 12 copies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 rub. 05 kop.

9) Furniture, 6 items . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 195 rub. 00 kop.

Among the acquisitions, the following deserve mention: a large collection of rocks from various localities, altogether 635 specimens with 505 thin sections for them, at a total cost of 595 rub., purchased from the firm F. Krantz in Bonn for the purpose of assembling from it an instructional collection for students’ practical work in petrography and a collection of examination problems; a systematic collection of rock-forming minerals, 75 specimens with 65 thin sections, and of rocks, 165 specimens with 165 thin sections, from the same firm, at a total price of 247 rub. 50 kop., for students’ practical work in the Engineering-Construction Department in petrography; a collection of lantern slides in petrography (184 items) and physical geology (earthquakes, 83 items) for lectures, from the same firm, at a price of 203 rub.; a collection of ores and rocks, 80 specimens with 34 thin sections, from the firm Grebel, Wendler & Co. in Geneva, at a price of 135 rub. 40 kop.; a collection of maps, books, and brochures, altogether 250 titles, chiefly on the geology and geography of the Urals, Western Siberia, and Turkestan, some of them very rare, for the sum of 100 rub., from the library of the late professor of the Mining Institute G. D. Romanovsky.

The geological museum continued to expand in 1908; the systematic collection of demonstration specimens in physical geology was moved to a more spacious cabinet; the collection of ores and other useful minerals (coal, petroleum, asphalt, rock salt) was arranged in two large display cases and part of a wall cabinet.

Classes in the geological cabinet.

1) In the spring semester of the reporting year, the geological cabinet was open for students’ work from January 7 to May 20. The classes were as follows:

a) In the petrographic laboratory, students of the VIII semester of the Mining Department studied rocks from collections and thin sections under the general supervision of laboratory assistant P. P. Gudkov, making use first of the systematic collection described in detail in the “Appendix to the Course in Petrography,” and then of a collection of exercises, in which only the identification of the rocks was given, while all their constituent parts had to be determined by the students themselves. In all, 25 students worked (by specializations: geological exploration 12, mining 8, mining engineering 3, and mine surveying 2 persons); of these, 14 persons completed the program (by specializations: geological exploration 9, mining 3, mining engineering 1, and mine surveying 1 person).

b) In the diploma laboratory, students of the geological-exploration specialization carried out diploma work in petrography, consisting in the treatment of material relating to some definite group of rocks or from a small region; during the spring term the following works were completed:

1) Student A. V. Arseniev described “Granites, syenites, and gneisses of southwestern Transbaikalia.”

2) Student N. Ya. Verevkin described “The deposit of magnetic iron ore of Mount Vysokaya in the Urals,” based on a collection personally gathered by him in the summer of 1907.

3) Student N. S. Morev described “Porphyries of southwestern Transbaikalia.”

4) Student I. Z. Mochalov described “Diorites, diabases, gabbro, and norites of southwestern Transbaikalia.”

5) Student M. A. Usov described “Granites of Dzhair and Urkashar in Western Dzungaria,” based on a collection gathered by the expedition of 1906.

In addition, students P. Ya. Medvedev and N. M. Popov began diploma work but did not complete it. The work was carried out under the supervision of V. A. Obruchev and laboratory assistant P. P. Gudkov.

II) In the autumn term of the reporting year, classes took place as follows (from September 10 to December 15).

a) In the petrographic laboratory, students of the IX semester of the Mining Department continued the studies begun in the spring term, namely 8 persons (by specializations: geological exploration 2, mining 3, mining engineering 2, and mine surveying 1); by the end of the term, 6 persons had completed the entire program (by specializations: geological exploration 2, mining 3, and mining engineering 1).

Again the students of the VII semester of the Mining Department, 15 persons in number (by specialties: mining 11 and metallurgical 4), began the studies consisting in the examination of rock-forming minerals by collections and thin sections.

In the same half-year, the students of the IX and VII semesters of the Engineering-Construction Department, 12 persons in number, began to study according to the abbreviated program (first the study of rock-forming minerals, then of rocks); of these, 11 completed the studies and, partly in December, partly in January 1909, passed the examination in petrography.

c) In the diploma laboratory, in the autumn half-year, the student of the exploration-geological specialty N. S. Penn, who had completed the course in the spring half-year, began and completed a diploma work on the topic “Felsites, trachytes, and andesites of southwestern Transbaikalia.” In addition, the Institute scholarship holder, mining engineer M. A. Usov, studied the porphyries and sedimentary rocks of Mesozoic age of the Dzhair, Urkashar, and Semistai ranges, using materials from the 1906 expedition.

The supervisors of the work were the same as in the spring half-year.

Mechanical Workshops

Head laboratory assistant K. I. Zamaraev.

During the past year, 1908, the mechanical workshops spent 8,766 rubles 73 kopecks on the purchase of materials and 12,236 rubles 37 kopecks on the maintenance of personnel, for a total of 21,003 rubles 10 kopecks. Invoices for orders carried out and completed in the reporting year were submitted in the amount of 19,630 rubles 76 kopecks. Taking into account that: a) during the past year the workshops produced a considerable number of models—approximately to the amount of 1,800 rubles; b) as of January 1, 1909, the workshops’ storeroom had materials in the amount of 2,700 rubles; c) the workshops had almost completed orders amounting approximately to 800 rubles; d) in the workshops’ storeroom there were finished articles for sale—one cast-iron ram for driving piles, four lever shears for metal, two diaphragm pumps, six sewer manhole covers, four surface plates (lapped), five planed testing plates, one grinding machine, etc., in the amount of 750 rubles—it may be acknowledged that the operating year 1908 ended satisfactorily for the mechanical workshops, especially since, given the extremely depressed state of the industrial market in the Tomsk district, the workshops had almost no more or less large orders and operated throughout the year on the production of the smallest and most varied orders, satisfying only the most urgent, acute local need.

Gas Plant

Head: Prof. V. N. Jones.

The gas plant attached to the Institute operated daily during the past year, with an interruption from June 27 to July 17 (on account of repairs to the pipe). During the period of operation, 803 charges of 21 poods each and 12 charges of 14 poods each were made.

The results of operation are as follows:

Item	Amount
Coal consumed for distillation	17,031 poods
Coal consumed for firing	9,994 poods 24 pounds
Coke obtained	10,154 poods
Gas obtained	2,361,000 cubic feet

Average gas yield:

\[ \frac{2361000}{17031} = 132.1 \]

cubic feet per pood of coal, higher than the corresponding figure for 1907 (124.4 cubic feet).

This increase must be attributed to the forced Sheffield-type furnaces, which unfortunately have their disadvantages, increasing fuel consumption: in addition to coke, a considerable quantity of coal also has to be used for heating the steam boiler and the gas furnaces.

The consumption of coke was as follows:

Item	Amount
Allotted to the University	120 poods
To the metallurgical laboratory of copper and bl. m.	160 poods
To the laboratory of analytical chemistry	4 poods
To the laboratory of inorganic substances	18 poods
To the laboratory of heat engines	50 poods
To the Central Station	15 poods
Sold to private persons	169 poods 20 f.
Total	536 p. 20 f.
For heating the gas furnaces	9617 p. 20 f.
Total	10154 p. 00 f.

Consumption of gas tar:

Item	Amount
Sold to various persons	431 buckets
Allotted to the Institute Building Committee	152 buckets
Total	583 buckets

2. According to the Institute’s cash books, the balance is shown as 2913 rub. 40 kop., in view of the fact that two invoices from Fock and Herman in the amount of 2230 rub. 17 kop. were written off as expenditure in 1908, and, on the other hand, 50 rub. for overtime classes, issued on January 24, 1908 and entered in the Library cash book in 1908, were written off as expenditure in the Institute cash book for 1907; thus 2913 rub. 40 kop. − 2230 rub. 17 kop. + 50 rub. 00 kop. = 733 rub. 23 kop. ↩
