END OF THE ROCK HISTORY.
The fauna is OF fresh or brackish
watertype. and nothing is known of
its comparative age. but the fora has
been referred by Prof. Fontaine aud
myself TO the Permain horizon.
This ends the rock history of West
Virginia since at the close of the
Permain or Dunkard Creek epoch,
the Appalachian revolution took
place, elevatipg the whole state above
the area of rock deposition into the
region of erosion or rock destroying
agencies, so, that aside from the quar-
tenary deposits found along the older
valleys of our rivers, no newer rocks
than the Prrmian exist anywhere in
the state.
From this review il will be seen
that West Virignia's mineral wealth
consists principally i'll coal limestone,
building stones, glass sand clays and
iron ore, along with vast supplies of
petroleum and natural gas.
BECOMING MANUFACTURING
CENTER.
Situated as she is IN the center OF
the great Appalachian coal field,
where it is richest, widest, and pos
sesses the greatest variety of fuel pro-
ducts. the Little Mountain State is
rapidly becoming a manufacturing
center. Already she has taken third
place in the galaxy of coal producing
states and bids fair soon to gra p
the banner from Illinois and occupy
the second place alongside of her
sister ON the north Pennsylvania.
With her vast and virgin resources
in timber, clays, building stone,
limestone. coal and natural gas, no
other state in the union has brigh-
ter outlook for future growth and
development, nor a more inviting
field for capital to invest in the min
ing and manufacturing business.

SUSPENSION OF JUDGMENT ON

The seemingly wise suggestion is
made by some sincere friends of Adj
miral Schley that il would be discreet
for zealots wheatner of long standing
or Of recent conversion, to avoid
speculation at this time as to what
Congress might do if not satisfied
with the verdict of the court of in
curry. Since q court of inquiry has
been organized at the request OF Adj
miral Schley and in the proDriety of
his conduct throughout the spanish
War would be to assume that he Will
receive honorable treatment from
those OF his fellow officers who have
been charged with the important duty
of an impartial examination into the
case.
All the testimony will be open to
the public and it will be apparent
whether the Admiral is given fair
opportunity to bring out the facts i'll
of the court accords within the testi-
mony. 1t will be time enough to con-
slider what Congress should do after
the courts work is done. should 1T
then be believed that Admiral Schley
had not been accorded fair treatment.
The suggestion is made that to say
now that if this court does not satisfy
public sentiment Congress will do so
and so, sounds too much like a threat
based on too hasty an assumption that
justice is not to be done by the court.
