A Notwithstanding Territory-Results of q
Government Survey.

Government Survey.
Washington Special.
The Geological Bureau has just completed the
topography of more than half the Appalachian
chain of mountains south of the Pennsylvania
line Major Powell, superintendent of the
esting facts regarding the results of the survey
in this region. The area covered by this chain
of mountains exceeds 100 900 square miles. The
general features of a great portion of it are as
little known to the commercial world as any of
the wilderness recesses of North or South
America. The commercial value of the stump
age of its lumber Mr.. Powell says will doubt
less reach a thousand millions of dollars, and its
hidden resources In minerals will greatly exceed
tins and add enormously to the wealth, and con-
sequently the general prosperity of the country.
The topography completed, exposition of these
resources will rapidly follow. This area equals
in wealth any like area on the face OF the earth.
Mr.. Powell says:
There will be realized in the next quarter of
century from the work of the geological sur
vey In this limited field alone sufficient to pay its
annual appropriations for the next century to
come. Partially denuded of its forests there are
hundred thousand square miles of grazing
region, for seven months Of the year producing
more than double AS much subsistence for cattle
as any of the grazing regions of the Rocky noun
tain plateau, with water abundant everywhere.
million of people will be accommodated with
homes and sustained from grazing and agricul
ture alone An enormous money product from
the fores.s is distributed to transportation lines
and to the laborers who mine the coal,
the iron and the other valuable mineral
deposits, and to the profits on canital
that by the law of gravitation must go there
when the resources are known There will be,
in short, region of great wealth and dense pop
ulation, self sustaining and wealth producing,
substituted for what is now almost an unbroken
wilderness nearly all of it inhabited so sparsely
that the people cannot secure the advantages
of education for their children. A large portion
of it is accessible by water courses, tributaries
of the Atlantic Ocean, the Ohio river and the
Gulf of Mexico. and all of it easily accessible for
the construction of railways. the proper location
of which are to be indicated by the contour lines
of the topographic sheets of aliases published

THE RcnRIsrIAN SOLDIER.

A Short Sketch of General Gordon, Who
Died at Khartoum.
Charles G. Gordon is the youngest son
OF the late Lieutenant General Henry
William Gordon, OF the Royal Artillery,
whose father, also an officer OF the
British army, fought with Wolfe, on
the Plains Of Abraham. Charles Cor
don was born in 1880, and on the
mothers side was descended from Samuel
Endcr5y the famous merchant and ex-
plorer, two ofw whose ships were chartered
to carry the tea to Boston which were
seized and destroyed by the revolutionists.
Gordon was educated at Tauntan and the
Royal Military Academy at Woolwicb.
In the summer Of 1870 he executed a
difficult mission to Abysinnia, after which
he again returned to England and was ap-
pointed Secretary OF the ficeroyo Of India, a
position he resigned shortly after his arri-
val at Bombay. Shortly afterward t1Ss0) he
visited China and counseled that country
not 10 go to war with Russia. He also
drew up scheme, which was adopted, for
the reorganization Of the Chinese army.
Gordon returned to London in the
winter Of 1881, and in March, 1882,
was made u major general in
the British army. Alter rendering i'm
portant service 10 the Government in
South Africa Gordon went to Jerusalem,
where he remained some time engaged in
study and research. Returning to Eu-
rope finally, at the invitation Of the King
ofthe Belgians, he took charge Of an ex-
pedition 10 the Congo. He reached
London, January Z, 1884, and, eleven days
later, having consented, at the request OF
the Government, to undertake tho solu-
ton OF the troubles in the Sondan, he set
out for Egypt, and on the 18th Of Feb
ruary arrived at Khartoum, which he has
thus held against the Mahdifo for more than
eleven months.
