Des Moines, April, 16.-Pr,f Samuel
Calvin, head OF the state geological
bureau, is at the head of a small party
of Iowa men on the way to British
Columbia on a tour OF exploration and
pleasure. Prof. Calvin has been in the
country before and has made some ex-
animation of The gold deposits along
the Frazer river, and Is convinced
from his previous assays that the en-
tire he'd of the great Frazer river is
literally gold lined and capable of pro-
ducing great riches. The river bed is
of gravel and sand and the only ques-
ton is one of ability to separate the
gold from this substance. Some assays
made by Prot. Calvin indicate that
there are at times as much as 50
worth of gold TO the cubic yard of ma
terial. On this trip 1t is expected that
he will make a more complete invesh-
CATION of the gravel beds than ever
before and be able to state definitely
how much gold there is in the Frazer
river. Some members of The party,
which includes a number of Des
Moines men, go for the outing and for
health, as the country is wild and prac-
ttcally untouched by civilization.

the cedar tie first and broke it in two.
