The Crittenden record. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1904-1907, 1906-02-09

'rocter for a large share IN the work
pon which the report is based, since
he larger part Of the field work of
dr. Ulrich, who had charge Of the ex-
made by the Federal organ
zatior in 1902, was done in 1889 and
n 1890, when the gentleman was a
member Of the State Survey Had
he report been issued earlier, it would
nave been Of advantage TO US in the
prosecution Of our investigations.
That there was need for the State
Survey work, and that without con-
ilicting with what had been done by
the Federal organization, will appear
when our reports are issued.
In addition to a report on the district
as whole, Mr.. Fohs will present one
on the mineral veins and other resourc- |
es Of Livingston county; the latter will
be ready for print at an early day.
It was originally intended that the
Livingston report should be only a re-
vision bringing it to date) Of the man
uscript report made by DR.. R. H.
Loughridge-one Of the four manuscript
reports left in the archiever Of the Sur
vey when appropriations ceased in 1892
the publication Of which was author
ized 10y the present Survey !aw. The
discovery Of new facts, etc, during
the progress Of the field work in re-
vision, however rendered so many ad-
ditions and notifications necessary
that Mr.. Fohs will present practically
new report.
According TO the observation Of Mr..
Fohs, Livingston county deposits have
the same general character as those Of
Crittenden; they have the same posi-
bilities so far as regards intrinsic val
ues, the difference between the two
regions with respect to possibilities OF
developement being chiefly one trans.
portation. Some faults hitherto un'
known were discovered in the progress
Of the field work, the probabilities be
ing that at least a number Of then
are ore-bearing near the surface, anC
that all Of them are 80 at depth be
low the sandy horizons. The report
which Is nearing completion, contain
descriptions Of the mines and pms
poets" (aOout COZ In the county, an'
Of the mills. Methods Of mining, ore
dressing, ETC., are described, and III
