Distribution In a Few Days.
The West Virginia geological sur
vev will have the new volume Ill,
ready for distribution in a few days.
This volume written by g. p. Grims-

ing marked attention in this country
and an active search is being made
for good deposits of these products
favorably located.
Prof. Grimsley will be well remem
bered in Martinsburg for his visit TO
this section several months ago, when
h Investigated tile rich limestone,
clay aud cement deposits in Berkeley
and Jefferson county, a complete re.
