The railroad people were in despair, but again appealed to the government geologist. Mir Darton expressed his belief that the main flow from the lower sandstones was good, and that, as the lower portion of the wei! was not caused, the mineral matter had come down from tho red beds above the water bearing sandstone.

All of which goes to show the immense eco homie importance of the underground water studies of the federal geological survey and to what extent science may be depended upon Co point the way for the practical development of natural resources.-New York Tri- bune Special.
