that lie in the immense low grade
quartz gravel beds in lower California.

cause water for the oId-fashioned placer

gold runs in too small a quantity 10 the
ton to make mining profitable under 9th

Mr. Edison In hts solution Of the prob

His machine is simple in construction
and requires a minimum of attendance
and supervision.
The system has now reached a work

Each separator is designed to hands

Is automatically distributed to the hop

without parade or flourish OF trum-
pets. the Coast and Geodetie Survey is
establishing a network of magnetic OBJ
servation stations throughout the
United States Though started many
years ago, this work has progressed with
great rapidity during the last four
years under the appropriations made Dy
Congress with a view 10 the practical
mapping OF the magnetic variations
throughout the country. Over 800 sucn
stations have been established by the
scientists of the Coast and Geodettc
Survey These stations are widely scat
tered through all the States OF the
Union. though the greater number of
tlem have been established in the more
populous districts
Territory to Be Covered
The territory TO be covered within the
United States amounts to 3.025, 500 square
miles The survey hopes eventually TO
establish one station in every 100 square
miles. That would necessitate about
90 600 stations. As the appropriations
permit Of the establishment Of only
400 stations year. it would take seven
ty-fve years to complete the survey
This is too long a period for good re
suits. 1t has been determined, there
fore, to limit the time to ten years,
and TO make a magnetic map of the coUn-
try after tie establishment Of 1000 sta
tions. which means one station to every
500 square miles. January /. 1905. has
been selected as the epoch to which the
observations are to be reduced. II is
thought this will give a satisfactory
representation Of the distribution Of
magnetism within the confines Of the
United States. and viii suffice for the
accomplishment of many Of the practi-
cal purposes Of magnetic surveys.
Economic Value.
These practical purposes represent the
economic side of the survey, and should
prove Of great value to commerce on
sea and in the resurvey of old b3undar-
les in disputed land claims The varia-
tons of the compass due to the fact that
the magnetic north is not identical with
the geographic north. and to local de-
posits Of ore. have always been q thorn
in the side of TIE mariner or surveyor
who 90 by the compass alone. The de-
termination of the magnetic variations
on land renders It possible TO make a
fairly accurate chart of the variations
On the sea It is thought a fairly &C
curate chart of magnetic variations will
be most valuable. especially TO the
