trail Idaho; by George n.

snerican Journal of Science.
8 Central Idaho is rugged and
5 sountainous, a succession of dark
Green and blue forested ranges.
she rocks are mostly GRANTEES,
|ychists and quantities., which in
INHERENT regions vary greatly in
y 'apacity to withstand weatherine
lind erosion. The larger streams
low in deep canyon-like valleys,
which broaden into plains in places
gfvhere the rocks are easily disin-
kegrated. Several of the principal
watersheds consist Of rolling
|xplateaus but little dissected by
EROSION. They appear to be re-
mains of what was once a large
plain-like plateau and have an
elevation of 1000 to 5000 feet
sabove the sea. Approaching the
larger rivers we find the slopes
become sleeper and the whole
country deeply dissected and
|accentuated by erosion, until we
reach the principal rivers, the
Snake and the Salmon, flowing in
valleys Of erosion 5000 or more
feet in depth. A few ranges APP
pear to have been raised above the
adjacent parts and are mountains
Of upheaval. During glacial time
the relief forms of the land were
substantially the same as at pres
emit. All of the large ranges and
many of the peaks now having an
elevation of about 5000 feet shows
signs of extinct glaciers. The
geographical position of Idaho with
respect both to the Pacific ocean
and the vast Canadian areas of
extreme winter cold, is favorable
to large snow fall, both now and
at all times since the rise of the
continent above the ocean. The
following personal observations
were made by the writer during a
recent reconnaissance.
The mountain ranges that form
the Watersheds between the Boise.
Payette and Salmon rivers formed
the gathering ground OF numerous
local glaciers. Those which flowed
south and west down the valleys
OF the Boise and the Payctte ended

sion. Those flowing north and

PIcKPOCKETs' GAINS
According to This Account II 10
Fairly Remunerauve Calling
In the Aggreeate.

The amount Of money which pick
pockets take in annually is probably
greater than that of any other special
lists in crime. 1t would be idle to say
how large it il, but 1t is a well-known
fact that thousands of dollars are stolen
by them at big public gatherings to
which they have access. 1t was report
ed, for instance, that at the recent con-
federate soldiers reunion in the south
$4,000 was stolen by pickpockets, and
almost every day in the year one reads
In the newspapers of big "touch"
reaching into the thousands. I think
1t 10 a conservative statement to say
that in lifetime the expert pickpocket
steals $4,000. Multiply this figure by
1900, which have given a. the number
of frst-class grafters in the country,
and the result reaches high up into
the millions. Like other professional
thieves. the pickpocket throws away
his money like water and very seldom
thinks of saving for old age, but prac-
tically all successful mobs have "fall
money" ian expense fund for paying
lawyers, etc., when they get arrested)
of from $4,000 to 5000 each carefully
banked, and I know Of one pickpocket
who is the owner of some very valuable
res.' -te. A good illustration of the

top OF the hills Immediately adjoin-
ing the American river on the
south; then crosses that stream
obliquely, ascends a hill; then
crosses the valley of Elk creek
nearly at right angles and ascends
another hill to Buffalo Hill placer.
The American Hill placer is part
of this gravel system. l did not
follow the course of this interest
ing gravel system east or west of
the points named, but it probably
can be traced for miles in both
directions. The direction of
transportation was westward.
Above the point where this gray Ell
system crosses the American river,
the gravel of that stream is much
less worn and rounded than below
that point. The materials of this
gravel plain are very round and
smoothed gravels, cobbles. bowl
derets and powders, and they
have afforded millions in gold.
The rock beneath the gravel is
smooth and polished, but is very
uneven, containing many depress-
ions. bowls and pot holes up to
five feet in depth.
An interesting feature Of this
gravel system is the fact that it
contains multitudes of fragments
of cedar wood, mostly at certain
horizons at considerable height
above the bottom of the gravel.
Some of the pieces retain their
original state and will burn after
being dried; others have changed
into an imperfect Ignite, while the
greater number have been partly
