Maine Peat.

At the meeting of the State topo-
graphical commission recently, the sub
ject of utilizing the peat supply Of the
State was the subject under discussion.
As is well known there is practically no
end to the peat deposits of the State.
If it can be dug and devoted to indus
trial uses great source of wealth is in
sight. Prof. L. A. Lee of Bowdoin
College, a member of the commission,
was present. He stated that at the
request Of the commission the U. S.
department Of geology would send COM
petent men to Maine next session to
start a geological survey of the State.
They would begin in the vicinity of Mt
Desert. He thought the result of their
researches would be to determine
whether there were any mineral
deposits in the State worth working.
