For some years past our government
has appropriated at each session OF con-
gress means requisite for carrying on the
survey OF the territories, and at the last
session the usual sums were granted for
the prosecution of this work for the
coming season. During the past four
wears the geological and Typographical
survey of Colorado has been completed.
Every effort has been made to present,
as fully as possible, all important feat
ures of the region examined, aud special
attention has been given to all matter
pertaining to the future development of
the states. Within the current year the
reports and maps upon this survey will
be given to the public. The former will
comprise the annual reports for 1873 and
1876, and the latter will consist of an at
las containing complete information as
conveyed by typographical, geological
and economic maps, On the economic
sheets the distribution of the various
grades of land, arabic, pasture, etc, and
the relative value of timber will be set
forth, as we'll as the occurrence Of metal

districts, Preparations are in progress
at present for the prosecution of the sur.
veying work during 1877. In accordance
with a definite plan, three adjoining dis
