The Louisville Herald Of Fri

The Louisville Herald of Fri
day says:
@. j. Norwood, State Geolo-
gist, arrived in the city last
night and was a guest at the
Louisville Hotel. He is on bis
way to Western Kentucky, to
make detailed inspections of the
rich coal fields of that section
and set a party to work.
"Although these beds of coal, "
he said, "are older than any In
the State, they are the most diff
ficult, and we really know less
about them. | am going down
now to Union and Webster coun-
ties to start in. party of the
survey, and think some of these
puzzles will be solved. For in
stance, one very important thing
about coal fields is a knowledge
of the distances apart of the diff
ferent deposits of the minerals
this being most requisite to min
ing-and this fact concerning
the western counties has never
been known. The party whose
early work'I will supervise is of
the State survey. You know,
oat of the $4,000 appropriated
by the last Legislature for a
geological survey, $4,000 is to be
used for work with the Federal
survey and entirely for topo-
graphical work. With the re-
naming $4,000 we are main
tanning several parties of geolo-
gists in different parts of the
State investigating the geologi-
cal formation and deposits of all
kinds, and shortly | expect to is
sue an exhaustive report on the
oil fields, in which there is per-
haps wider and deeper interest
than in anything else in this
line"
