WORK Has BEGUN
On the Geological survey In This
State--A Corps of Englaeers started
from Wheeling Yesterday.
Wheeling Tntelligenoer.


A corps OF government engineers
arrived in tue city yesterday, which
will have charge Of the geological
survey in this state. The party is
composed of W. Carver Hall, Oswald
Il, Camp, Hargreaves Woods aud NJ.
ID. Thomson. The work will begin
to-day and about fifteen men will be
employed in the work, which will be
made ia three squads.
The government and state share
equally the expense of the geological
survey and ultimately the entire state
will be surveyed, a work that will re-
quire from six TO eight years aud will
require additional appropriations by
the state. This is the first survey
that will be made BY virtue OF the act
which passed the last legislature and
which made the necessary appropria-
ton. =
The engineers will survey from
Wellsburg to point ten miles below
Moandsyille, between the Pennsylva-
MIA and Ohio state boundaries. The
engineers, however, do not adhere
closely TO the state alignment, but
are controlled by latitude and longi-
tude. A corps Is now working out OF
CadIz, Ohio, and will carry the sur.
vey to the western limit OF the Wheel
ing party, which will cover an area OF
700 miles, with this city as the CEN
trial point.
Another corps Of engineers began
work yesterday at Huntington and
they will cover 600 square miles OF
territory. The Wheeling corps will
go TO Grafton, Philippi other points
in the interior of the state. When
the work is completed the biologists
go over the ground and compile the
statistics relative to the mineral
wealth.
The maps which will be prepared
from this survey will show the exact
topography of the country gone over
They are made on scale OF an inch
to mile and give elevation and every
road, town, stream and house. The
advantages of "a map OF tais kind are
obvious. 1t will be year before The
maps are printed and they will be
sold by the government for five cetts
