I'he Geological survey or tlae
Stnae.


Times-D Democrat
Mr.. Lawrence johnson, assistant
United States geologist, in his report,
Just made to the geological survey,
gives most tlattering accounts of the
results Of his explorations in North
Louisiana. 'sEvery day of the month
there" he says '.has been profitably
employed IN the work set for the
party
On the subject Of The iron interests
Of North Louisiana he still calls for a
further and more complete examina-
ton before giving the exact details of
the country, but he is able to say that
be found iron deposits in large guam
ties in Claiborne, Lincoln and Bien-
vile parishes of superior richness,
and including all varieties of the
brown hematite.
Mr.. johnson has made some impOr-
tant Investigations relative to the geo
logical formation of the State, which
confirm Prof. Hilgard's views on this
snhjeot, explain some OF the mineral
discoveries that have been made here,
and promise that even more valuable
deposits viii vet be found. Indeed,
if these views of his prove true, Loui-
siana viii figure, sooner OF later, as a
very important mineral State.
The investigations that have already
been made BY the geological survey
are most satisfactory and encouraging,
and when the survey puts other parties
in the field as it proposes to do, and
the entire State is thoroughly gone
over, the result viii be even more sat
isfactory.
Upon the arrival of Pnof. johnson
in the State Mr.. Enderle, the mining
engineer of the Times-DemocTdt, who
had collected much information and
many specimens, reported TO Prof.
johnson, and was instructed to place
his notes ard information at the ser
vice Of the government officials
Two other officers of the geological
survey will arrive within few weeks,
one for work IN Central Louisiana and
ono for dnty IN the southwestern part
Of the State Arrangements should
be made to have each Of these officers
accompanied BY persons familiar with
the country and acquainted with the
people, in order that the State may
realize the tnll benefit of their prelim
mary work during the Exposition.

People often eulogize practice when
they only mean routine; boasting them
selves as practical teachers, intending
thereby that they only do what always
has been done, and do not mean to do
any better to morrow than they did yes
terday. Practice and theory must 90
together. Theory, without practice 10
test it, to verify 1t, TO correct ii, is idle
speculation but practice without theory

the edges get Jagged and dirty. The
