New Maine Areas Mapped

In the Goth annual report of the direct
or of the United states geological surSey,
which has recently come from the press.
may be found an account OF the work
done by the survey during the past year.
In Maine, 1873 square miles of new area
were topogr aphical,y surveyed, 179 miles
of levels were run and Is bt nch mai ks
we're established during the last fiscal
year.
Maps of three Maine Quadrangles, the
| Arson, Bingham and Penobscot bay
were completed during the year.
Under the supervision of Geoge o ia
Smith, CO cooperative geologicalw with
the state of Maine WAS continued
The areal mapping of the pcnobscot bay
quadrangle was completed by MessIs
Z. s. Basin and G. w. Brown. Areal map
ping of the Rocklsnd quadrangle nas
undertaken by MIR. Basin and areal ma y
ping of the MI Desert quadrangle by
M Brown, Considerable progress was
made in the office in the compilation of
the map and field notes for the Penobscot
bay folio.
An inspection of the slate quarries at
Monson, Brownvile and North Blanch-
ard, Me, was made by T. Nelson Dale
for the purpose of obtaining daia for a
bulletin of the slate resources and indus
try of the Uni, cd states.
Measurements of water flowing in the
rivers OF Maine in various stages were
continued during the year, in CO opera

Hydraulic data relating to the public
water supplies, wells and springs of the
state were collected during the year by
Prof. w 3 Bayley, with the object of
preparing complete report of the water
resorces of Maine in connection with his
Investigations for the geological branch.
George Otis Smith collected water data
for certain of the quadrangles along the
coast. In addition he made a special in
vestigation of the water supply from a
basin of glacial gravels near Augusta,
an examination which had an important
bearing on questions of water supply for
that city. Publications by Prof w. s.
Bayley and K. F. Lines relating to the
underground waters and we'll records of
he state were issued by the survey
The only hydro-economio work carried
on in Maine during the fiscal year was
that of the weekly analysis of composite
daily samples of water from the Andros-
coggin river at Brunswick, by Prof.
Franklin G. Robinson of Bowdoin Col
lege The Ambrose ggin river was select,
ed AZ a typical stream of the North At
lantic drainage area, and the results will
be used in connection with similar data
now collected upon the rivers in study
of chemical denudation in the United
States.

Gathering Will be Held in Charleston
-Tillman and Hoke Smith Among
the Speakers.

The North Carolina Pine Associa-
ton. composed of nearly 200 manu-
facturers of pine lumber and repre-
senting the bulk of the entire lumber
output in Virginia and the Carolinas
is preparing for its semi-annual meet
ing to be held in Charleston, S. c.,
October II and 12.
The meeting will be held in the as
sembly rooms Of the Charleston Com
mercial Club. More than 800 lum-
bermen, principally of North Caroli-
ma and South Carolina, are expected
to attend.
A feature of the meeting will be a
big banquet, to which the most prom
inent orators of the south have been
invited, including Governor Swanson
Of Virginia, former Governor Aycock
Of North Carolina, Governor Hayward
of South Carolina, Senator Ben Till
man and Hoke Smith and John Tenn
pie Graves Of Georgia.
Besides these general speakers 9TH
ers will be in attendance whose talks
will bear more directly on the lumber
industry, such persons as Lewis Dill,
president Of the National Wholesale
Lumber Dealers Association; Rich
ard D. White, president Of the East
ern States Retail Lumber Dealers
Association; John L. Kaul. presi-
dent of the yellow Pine Manufacture
ers' Association, and others.
Special transportation rates are be-
ing arranged with the railroad COM
panies and no effort is being spared to
induce a record breaking attendance.
The senli-annual meeting of the
North Carolina Pine Association is Of
unusual interest just at this time, in
view of the great growth Of the lum-
industry in the three states in
which it operates. The association has
grown from a membership that is ex-
pected to exceed 200 at the October
meeting Association mills in Virginia
and the Carolinas cut nearly a billion
and a half feet of lumber annually.
Some Of the enormous output is con-
sumed locally, but the bulk OF it is
shipped to thirteen eastern and north
ern states, from Ohio to Maine, where
it figures in all kinds Of building
operations. Even the foreign markets
lumber and it is used extensively in
England, Germany and the Neither
lands, where it is being imported in
ever increasing volume.

HAMPTON MONUMENT.
Preparations For Placing it Being
Made.

Columbia. OctoHer 3.-Prepara-
tors for the Placing of the monu-
men; to Gen. 8a5e Hampton and
ne unvejiing To- follow it are being
made bv Chairman ] @. Marshall
8na -lae o.ner members Of the monu-
ment commission. At present the
foundation work is being pushed rap
idly to completion and everything
will be in readiness ror the monument
when it arrives from Paris.
The statue was shipped from Par
is September s, and should arrive
within week or ten days from now
In the meantime the commission will
arrange the details of the unveiling
ceremonies.
The monument is to be erected east
of the state house and to the left of
the driveway 1t Will look directly at
the stately figure Of the Confederate
soldier which stands in front Of the
state house, a peculiarly appropriate
setting. The statue will be twenty
nine feet il height and Sir. Ruck-
stuhl says that it is the best piece of
work he has yet turned out. He has
been at work for over a year on the
feyre and critics who have examined
it in Paris pronounce it a magnificent
design.
Chairman Marshall ordered few
of the blackberry trees directly on the
side of the statue cut down so as TO
admit of an unmolested view of the
figure. The foundation will be at
least three feet in depth and the bed
will consist of crushed stone and ce-
ment so there will be no danger of
the massive statue settling or sinking
out of plumb. On the arrival of the
figure from Paris the work Of erecting
it will be completed rapidly, that be-
ing the easiest part Of the CONTRACT,
and it is thought that with a prompt
shipment the unveiling may take
place about the middle Of October.
Confederate organizations through
ont the country are eagerly awaiting
the announcement Of the date and
hundreds Of them will come to Co
]ambia for the event. 1t is possible
that the commission may arrange the
date for fair week when there are
redlced rates from all over the South.
bu: this depends entirely on the ar
rival of the statue from Paris and the
time taken in getting it ready.
