STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Something of What Is Found in and
Under Iowa Soil.

Something of What Is Found in and
Under Iowa Soil.
Des Moines, April 29.-The report of
the state geological survey for the year
1901 is now in the hands of the printer
and will be issued during the summer
1t includes Webster, Henry, jefferson,
Wapello Monroe, Cherokee and Buena
Vista counties. and is exhaustive in
character, dealing with the geology and
economic products of the regions COW
cred.
In that part of the report relating to
Monroe and Wapello counties the con-
ditions in the coal measures will be
given especial prominence.
The railroads are opening up many
new mines in Monroe county which in
few years will probably lead all 9th
ers in the state. The Webster county
gypsum department will be treated in
detail. 1t has recently been found that
they cover much wider area than was
formerly supposed. A number of wells
which are bein sunk three or four miles
from Fort Dodge have struck the beds
at a depth of 100 feet. The Fort Dodge
gypsum contains no fossils, and for
that reason there has been great diff
Guilty in determining it's age. 1t has
been rated in the past as Cretaceous,
but the rating has always been open to
question. The report suggests that 1t
may be Permian. If this proves to be
the case it will constitute the first
strata belonging to the Pernian age
known in Iowa.
The gypsum industry is growing
more important every year, the output
for 1900 being estimated at about $4,000
tons. The report will include discus
sion of the methods of treatment prev
alent In Germany where the product is
put to much wider uses than in the
United States, being even mixed with
straw and nodded into boards.
The report for 1903 will be devoted to
Iowa clays, which will be classified ac-
cording TO their practical and economic
value. There is an infinite variety OF
black clays in the state and little low
grade potter's clay. One of the new in
dustries is iron mining. 1t is not gen
orally known that one of the largest
bodies of iron ore in the country is sit
uated in Allamakee county. yet such is
the case. The company owning the land
has 100000 tons of high grade ore
in sight at the surface. Its present ca
racity is 800 tons every ten hours -
ore is easily worked, and is shipped to
Omaha, Milwaukee and Chicago
During the summer the United States
geological survey will place a party
of men in Dubuque county for the
purpose of making a soil survey. The
party, one of whose members is Mr..
F. o. Fippin, will work under the d.
rection of the soil bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture, and will publish
large scale maps of the districts COW
cred, indicating the various kinds OF
soil there found. The United States
survey have already produced topo-
praphic maps of a district including
Dubuque county and extending north
to the Minnesota line. This is a great
help to the state bureau, which has
not the means to work as cheaply OF
as accurately as the government or
ganization. The topographic maps ara
necessary in order that the geology
of the section may be understood and

Bitten bv a Mad Doc,

Ottpmwa, Aril pa mad dog trav-
ersed three counties in southeastern
Iowa yesterday and bit two people,
both of whom are fearful that the bites
will be fatal. The dog was first heard
of at Brazil, in Appanoose county,
where he bit a boy; next at Bunch,
twenty miles to the east, in Davis
son county. fifty miles from. Bunch,
where Postmaster Long was bitten. 1t
is not known that the same dog was

to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
| Newton, April 30.-After another
full days investigation Of the Lavelleur
murder, the coroners jury is still I'M
able to ascertain by what means La :
velleur came to his death. 1t was eX-
pected that Mrs. Lavelleur's testimony
would be of the utmost Importance in
ascertaining the guilty party, but hel
evidence has revealed nothing and she
has been released. 1t is said that she
simply repeated her former story, tell
ing that her husband had taken dinnet
with her and he had started to spade
the garden when she noticed the barn
was on fire She went to the nearest
neighbors for help and. did not notice
Lavelleur's absence until asked where
he was. She stoutly maintains her in.
nocence and any knowledge of how
the man met his death. 1t is thought
that the officers are working on
new clue, as the coroner's jury has
adjourned until Saturday at a. m
Mrs. Lavelleur was taken before the
jury Immediately upon her return yes
terday morning from the funeral and
her examination lasted for about four
hours. The jury have reached no YER
dict and 1T is understood have made
no Roadway on any tangible clue. Tho
three step-sons have been released,
but it is expected that more arrests
will be made. 1t seems to be the gen
eral opinion, as before, that the man
was murdered and thrown in the barn
and burned. A careful examination OF
the ashes where the body was found
has been made and it is thought that
coal oil was thrown on the baled hay
that surrounded the body. An analysis
OF the ashes will be made. Members
OF the coroner's jury refuse to give out
any of the evidence and also to talk
concerning the investigation, only that
they have not arrived at verdict.
