Additional information From Prof.
Gould's PARTY,

Kenton, o. T., July I.-Prof Gould 8
irrigation survey party is working this
| week in northeastern New Mexico. fol-
lowing up the Clmarron river to its
head. The camp next Sunday will be at
Folsom, N NJ. During the past week
the party worked from Guymon. on the
Rock Island. up Beaver creek past the
c. c. c. ranch and then turned north TO
the Cimarron, following that yiver up
to Kenton, o. T., two miles from the
New Mexico line. Around Kenton the
country is extremely rugged. Sandstone
hills cut by deep canyons occurred on
both sides Of the Cimarron for twenty
miles in Oklahoma.
Just north Of Kenton is the south
eastern end of the Black Mesa. which
extends into Oklahoma from Colorado.
This mesa is $50 feet above the Omar
ron valley. with a fat top and sides often
so steep as to render ascent very diff
cult. Along the side are lodges of sand
stone the same as Is found elsewhere In
the region, but the top is covered 10
depth OF more than 100 feet with black
volcanic lava. This lava evidently came
from some prehistoric volcano. long since
extinct, probably located in Colorado or
New Mexico. SO far as known the lava
on the Black Mesa is the only evidence
Of volcanic activity in Oklahoma
