clarence Kings Survey.
NEW YORK, July 19th.-A Wash
| ington correspondent of the World
says: The main work of the survey
under Clarence King will be di-
rected this summer to the follow
ing subjects: "The Metallic Wealth
of Colorado, centering at Lead
ville;" "The Lead Silvers of Me-
vada, centering at Eureka" "The
Great Comstock Lode, the Central
Gold Field of California" On each
of these survey will be begun.
The LeadyiIle division will be un.
der the charge of s. f. Emmons,
Geologist, and A. d. Wilson, Topo-
grapher. In charge of the Eurek q
division will be Professor Becker,
Geologist, and F. A. Clark, Topo-
! grapher. King will supervise the
gork at the Great Comstock and
in California. The central gold
field of California is we'll nigh a
virgin field. The only important
book on California gold is Whit
ney's. The work of the surveys
here, therefore, will be doubly i'm
portant. The work of the topo
graphical engineers will be con-
fined to subterraneous and surface
surveys of mining districts, and
the results reached by them will be
made tributary to the economical
Investigations of geologists. The
only Typographical work to be
done except this will be to finish
Poweps work en- the Colorado
Cafion, under the direction of Sum.
ner Bodfish. The corps of geolo
gists under King is as follows: s.
f. Emmons, Arnold Hague, now
Imperial Expert of China, who has
resigned to join Kings expeditio n
G. X. Gilbert, late of the Powell
survey, and w. V. Hayden. The
biologists in charge of mining ge
ology are Professor Raphael PUN
pelly, late of Harvard University
Becker, late instructor of mining
geology at the University of Cali
fornia, and Arthur Foole, mining
engineer, lately practicing al
Leadville. Among important prob.
able outcomes of the i'm m ediate fu
ture will be the presentation to the
country of the ratio of the product
of gold and silver. Not only will
the geology of mines be studied
but the metallurgical appliances il
use be examined. The silver ant
lead furnaces at Eureka, Nevada
are said to be the best in the world
and a complete description of these
such as 1t is intended the survey
publication shall contain, will rem
der possible the use of this perfec
and wealth-saving apparatus any
where.
