TO SURVEY THE
 SLATE DEPOSITS
Prof. Purdue of the State University and His Corps Leave for Montgom- cry County to Begin Work
 Will Take Three Months.

The survey of the slate fields of Arkansas, as provided for Seu- ator Legate's bill passed by the last legislature, is to begin at once. The work will be done with the corporation of the United States Geological Survey, the na- tioual government paying three fifths of the cost and the state of Arkansas two-fifths, as provided in the bill.
 Prof. A. H. Purdue of the State University of Arkansas, at Fayetteville, who will have charge of this important work, left Meua this morning for Slat- ingtou, where the beginning will be made. Ia his corps of geolo- gists were K. D. Mesler, Hugh Miser and Fred Tilman, all of Fayetteville and in charge of their outfit was teamSter aud a cook. They started out with two wagons, six horses, teuts and general camp supplies and equip, ment. They expect the task be- fore them to occupy their time fully up to the middle of Septen Der.
 Mir. Higam of Chicago, general manager of the Southwestern Slate company of Slatington, ac- companied the party and will re- main in the field week or more.
 Prof. Purdue intends to investi. gate all slate deposits of the state so far as possible. He siys that it is we'll known that the greater portion is in Polk and Montgom- cry counteis, but his work will probably carry him as far East as Hot Springs.
 The government many years ago surveyed ard made maps of the slate fields of the East which have been of great value to all interested in the industry, and it is probable that the work to be done here in the next three months will do more to develop ,he industry in Arkansas than anything that has been done here in past years.
