An Important Geologic Map
OF Maine Begun.

Geologic mapping for folio publica.
tion has been begun by the United
States Geological Survey in Maine. The
area selected for the first work Of the
| kind in this State was the Penobscoi
Bay region, and during the last season
the rock formations in the towns Of Blue
hill, Surry, Penobscot, Brooksville
Sedgwick and Brooklin we're examin-
I'd. The Bluehill quadrangle, which has
already been mapped geographically In
cooperation with the State Of Maine, in
cudes region OF geologic and economic
interest. The metamorphic shists, which
are found to occur over large areas, form
the country rock OF the mineraliZed zones
which were at one time extensively pros
pected for copper and the precious nae
tails. Granite of the best quality is
quarried at a number of localities, while
more basic il neous rocks also occur with
in the area. Names leading position 10
the value OF the granite quarried makes
Ii important TO even further develop the
Industry by exact delimitation of the
granite areas, and to study carefully this
and other massive rocks suitable for
structural and monumental work.
Upon the completion of the survey of
this region, which WAS begun last autumn
by George OILS Smith, geologist, folio
will be published containing full descrip-
tions Of the Penobscot Bay section of
the State, especial attention being given
10 the natural resources. The bearing
which such geologic Investigations may
have upon the question of AL adequate
supply OF pure water promises to be i'm
portant in many localities on the Maine
coast, where the number OF summer resi-
dents Is Increasing rapidly.
