COOPERATE In SURVEY.
Mining Records for Wisconsin Result
of Work with Government.

of Work with Government.
Cooperation and not competition
is now said to be the life of trade.
Whether this is a sound principle in
commerce or not, it seems truly ap-
plicable to scientific Investigations.
The United States Geological Survey
has often co-operated successfully
with various state surveys. One of
it's most recent alliances has been
made with authorities of the state
of Wisconsin.
During the past two years Prof.
U. S. Grant and assistants have
prepared, for the Wisconsin geologi-
cal and natural history survey, a
series of special topographic and
geologic maps on a scale of inches
to the mile, with 10-foot contour
intervals. These maps cover the
most important lead and zinc pro-
ducing areas of southwestern Wis
consin and are intended to accom-
pany Prof. Grants general report
on the district. The areas mapped
are as follows:
Dodgeville area, square miles;
Highland area, IL square miles;
Miffiin area, Is square miles;
Mineral Point-Linden area, Al
square miles; Platteville area, 81
square miles; Hazel Green. Benton
area, 38 square miles; Meeker's
Grove area, 6 square miles; Shulls-
burg area, Is square miles; Potosi
area, 6 square miles.
In this world of preparing de-
tailed maps the state of Wisconsin
has co-operated with the federal
survey, which has been represented
chiefly by H. Foster Balm, who has
had generalsupervision of it's lead and
zinc investigations throughout the
country. The men who assisted Prof.
Grant and Mr.. Balm in the top
ographic and geologic work were
F. F. Burchard, E. T. Hancock, E.
E. Ellis, A. F. Order, G.. S. Fulcher,
M. J. Perdue, J. r. Banister, A. w.
Lewis, G. HI. Cady and G. HI. Cox.
AS a result ST this cooperative
work the United States geological
survey will secure data for two new
geologic follos, besides a large
amount of information bearing up
on the subject of lead and zinc
deposits IN the Upper Mississippi
valley. The new folios will describe
the Mineral Point quadrangle of
Wisconsin and Illinois and the Ian
caster quadrangle, which is partly
IN Wisconsin, in Iowa and in
Illinois.
The maps made under the joint
auspices of the federal and state
governments will not only be the
most accurate maps of the areas
which have yet been prepared, but
will also bear other features which
it is believed should commend them
to mining men. They show the
location of the mines in the different
areas, together with large num-
bers of the old workings, the dis
tribution of the various geological
formations as revised by the recent
study of the district, contour lines
representing the varying elevation
i of the base of the Galena limestone
making it possible to closely
estimate at any locality the distance
from the surface of the ground tc
the base of the oil rock-and the
topography Of the area, represented
by 10-fOOt contour intervals.

may be obtained from E. A. Birge

Observations.

There was once man who said
that Thanksgiving was the best
time of the year for him, because it
was the only day that he got enough
to eat. And really, this is not so
bad view to take of Thanksgiving,
after all. Say what we will, we
are all materialists, from the unct-
uous, ever-smiling pastor-guest
whose mouth is watering for
white meat all the time he is task
ing the blessing" to the tot whose
impatient hopes are centered upon
drumsticks and filling; and we are
therefore thankful that the day
brings us opportunities for stufing
contests, and for little else. And
what of it? There are such pleasures
under the skin Of cracking, delici-
ously Drowned skin of young turkey
as surely cannot be found else
where this side of heaven. And if
these pleasures are but little short
of heavenly, who of the godly shall
condemn our proper appreciation
of them? Blessings, we hear the
pastor say. as he passes his plate
the fourth time, "come down upon
us like the dew, gently and gener-
ously. We can not be too thankful
for the wonderful prosperity with
which we as od-favored nation
are endowed; we have wealth,
health, happiness, and firm hope
of the heavenly land, and -er-er-
Til have about four spoonfuls more
of gravey, if you please" The rest
of us have not quite SO much to say
of God-favored notions, nor of
wealth, health, happiness; nor have
we all as firm grip on the here
after as has our dear pastor, but
when it comes to turkey we ask for
none to step forth with our excuses.
Our regard for white meat needs no
apologies, nor do we preface our
calls for more with references to
the world to come; nor can it be
said that our regard for the juicy
thigh demands explanation or COM
ment. And if, at pinch, we are
driven to the necessity of holding
close communion with the part that
''goes over the fence last" it is no.
body's business but our own. It's
all turkey, and turkey is Thanks
giving.

wife and daughter, Miss Nellie, who
have been visiting friends here since
last Monday, left Saturday morning fol
New Sharon, to visit cousin of Mrs
Grants over Sunday, intending to re-
turn home this morning. Mr.. Grant
started in the drug business In part
|enership. with DIR. w. j. Ward, buying
out DR.. v. A. Potter in 1872, but soon
sold out to Capt. C. H. Shaw, now OF
Marshalltown.
Mr. Grant is now engaged in the

Under the present law the bank ex-
aminers collect fees for their services
which are all turned into the state
treasurer. The oil inspectors and all
other employees who collect fees do the
same way so that While the cost to the
state seems large from the report the
biggest part of it comes from the banks
and oil companies and other concerns
that pay fees.
The expense to which the railroads
are going in their campaign against
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission authority to fix rates and
against any rate legislation Is shown
IN the flood of booklets and mono
graphs on the subject The latest IS
q little booklet OF 191 pages entitled
For the Railroads." 1t has an elabo-
rate index and is made up of short
articles on many phases of the rail-
road question:, but arguing all the
while against any action whatever by
congress on the railroad rate question.
1t is claimed i'm the book on page 81
in an article headed The Lust OF
Power" that "I'he efforts Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to secure
additional authority has been persist
ent and systematic. There is no doubt
that they have had q powerful influ-
ence upon public opinion which would
have been impossible had the official
source of the agitation been apparent.
Since the flood of literature from the
railroads has become so large ana
since the disclosure of the fact that
lawyers in this office working in con-
junction with y. II. Hunter are max
ing contracts with newspapers of the
state to pay them for their space to be
used in defense of the railroads, it is
consoling to recall that the first in
formation that the railroads were thus
seeking to influence legislation on the
rate question was disclosed in this
correspondence. Subsequent events
furthermore have shown that the reck-
less charge of untruthfulness made at
the time by some of the standpat
papers was without foundation and
uncalled for.

,AkBAR's EXPERIMENT.
Result of His Whimsical Search For
Natural Language.


Akbar, ole OF the first Of the great
moguls who ruled India. has been
named the Asatic Charlemagne. He
was a statesman and an educator and
built a palace for tie reception of
men who loved learning and sought
after wisdom. The great mogurs pas
sion for knowlease is said to have
been shown by Whimsical experiment
he once made to determine II it was
true, as lie had heard. that Hebrew
was the natural language Of all who
had never been taught any other
tongue.
To test this assertion Akbar caused
a dozen nursing children to be shut up
in castle SIX lea gaes from Agra, his
capital city Each child was reared
bN a dumb nurse The porter also was
a mute, and he WAS forbidden, upon
castle. When the children were twelve
years of age Akbar ordered them to be
brought before him.
Men learned in Sanskrit. in Arabic,
In Persian and in Hebrew were assem-,
bled at. the royal palace to tell what
language the children spoke. Akbar,
seated on his throne and surrounded
by these Hnguists, ordered the children
to be brought in. Each child was ad.
dres ed, and, to the surprise of the as
senlbly. every one answered by a sign.
Not child could speak a word. They
had all learned from their nurses to
eynrass th>,'se'vas nv rart*l,rts.
