Topogra phic Survey of Siskiyou
Mountains.

A. |. Oliver, topographer in the
United States Geological survey de-
partment, and who was in charge Of
the six parties engaged this summer
in making the topographic survey of
the Grants Pass quadrangle, arrived in
Grants Pass Tuesday to remain until
the heavy oke, now overcasting the
country, clears away.
On the completion of his work here
early in the fall, Mr.. Oliver went to
Siskiyou county, where he has since
been engaged in making triangulation
measurements from all the peaks and
higher elevations of the Siskiyou
mountains, securing data for the
topographic survey of the Siskiyou
quadrangle, which the government is
now having executed. Arriving on the
headwaters Of Little Applegate, the
smoke so obscured the country as to
render distant objects invisible so he
had to temporarily suspend his work.
Giving his men brief vacation, he
left his camp outfit at a miners cabin,
aud came to Grants Pass to put in
the time until rain shall have
cleared away the smoke, ana put out
the forest fires that are burning at
many places in the hills and mount.

tinue to increase that many of them
are adding to their clerical force.
