William Beck, one of the best

field which, if given proper atten-

new industry in the sagebrush state.
The desert wayfarer is more than
reticent concerning the locality
which he believes will ultimately be
producer of oil in abundance The
best he would say is that the dis
trict is located 100 miles east of
Tonopah in a basin lying between
high mountains. AS an evidence

4 HANDY REFERENCE hook.

Students of American geology
and geography owe much to the
fou great government organiza-
tiens which worked in the west be-
tween 1867 and 1879, before the
establishment of the United States
geological survey. These organiza-
tions are commonly known as the
Hayden, King, Powell and Wheeler
surveys, from the men in charge, of
whom Clarence King later became
the first director of the United
States geological survey and ]. w.
Powell the second. The publication
of these earlier surveys constitute
a storehouse of geographic, geo.
logic, ethnologic, and archeologic
information concerning the then al
most unknown western portion of
the United States and though their
usefulness may have diminished
as result of more detailed surveys
and more precise work, they are
still invaluable to all who are in
terested in the study of the de-
velopment of the west. The United
States geological survey has pub
hlished a catalogue and consoli
dated index of these publications,
by L. F. Schmeckebier, that, will
make the information they contain
far more easily accessible. This
catalogue, which is survey bulletin
222, is the only complete list Of.
the publications ever issued and
forms a handy reference book for
students and librarians A copy

HAS GREAT FAITH IN GEORGES
CANYON AND IT'S FUTURE
POSSIBILITIES.

It's a pleasure to meet the
Georges canyon operators. What
ever else may be said, it remains
the truth that those who are the
most heavily interested there are
not given to shouting the praises of
that district in manner that
makes one accept the truth of state
ments with grain of salt.
Georges canyon people tell their
stories with a ring of genuine
truth. 49,
The latest arrival from Georges
canyon is Ira Fancher who reach
ed Tonopah yesterday. He is quite
heavily interested in that section,
Ing one of the prominent leasers

erty owner of no mean proportions
Mr.. Fancher states that the indica-
tons all point to a legitimate boom
before long. The work that is be-
ing done in the district is accom-
plishing very satisfactory results.

For the most part the work being

one of great extent and richness.

NAMED AS CHAPLAIN.
Father Gallagher Appointed for the
District Institutions.

O1SCTlCL 1uSC1CuL1OuS.
Cardinal Gibbons has appointed Rev.
Michael J. Gallagher, pastor Of st. Mary's
Church, Clermont Mills, Hartford county,
Md, as Catholic chaplain to the munich
pal institutions and reformatories of the
District of Columbia. With the announce
ment that Father Gallagher will take up
the work in this city came an assignment
to Rev. Andrew Mihm, assistant pastor
of the Church Of the Holy Comforter, to
take charge of the pastorate vacated by
Father Gallagher. He will also have
charge of the Delta, Pa, parish. The
two priests will take up their new work
Immediately. An assistant pastor OF the
Holy Comforter parish will probably be
named within short time.
The appointment of chaplain for the
District institutions has been made neces-
sary by the needs of these establishments
and owing to the fact that the clergy of
the Holy Comforter parish could not find
time to give the inmates and prisoners
the proper attention. Father Gallagher
is well equipped for his new work. He
acquired two-year course in missionary
training at the Apostolic Mission House.
He left that house two years ago to take
up the work in st. Mary's parish, where
he has been singularly successful. Father
Mihm came to the Holy Comforter parish
last June, Immediately after his ordina-
ton In the priesthood.
In his work in this city Father Gala

REPAIR OF STREETS PROMISED
OF PLANS OF
THE COMMISSIONERS.
Report Made by Chairman Blau to
North Capitol and lexington
Citizens Association.

The repaving and repairing of the
streets of lexington was the principal
topic of discussion before the North Capt.
tol and lexington Citizens Association
last night in St Martins Hall. North
Capitol and streets northwest. Mr.. Her.
man E. Blau, chairman Of the committee
on streets, sidewalks and lights. gave a
report on the subject.
Mr.. Blau announced that he had called
upon the District Commissioners regard
ing the Improvement of Streets and had
been informed that several OF the streets
from Lincoln road to 1st street northeast
would be resurfaced and that the other
tended to as soon as possible which he
thought would be by July 1. He also re-
ported that the dip in r street from
Lincoln road to 1st street northeast is to
be filled up and put on level, and that
the street would then be resurfaced.
The association strongly opposed the
practice of contractors mixing concrete
on newly paved streets.
More Arc Lights.
Mr.. Blau stated that he thought that
the Commissioners would install the
twenty arc lights on North Capitol
street between Florida avenue and II
street asked for. He had suggested the
removal of arc lights from several other
streets In the section to North Capitol
street, where there is more traffic
During a discussion OF the removal OF
dirt and rubbish in the alleys 1t was sug-
gested that several members Of the asso-
citation call on the District Commissioners
and urge that cut grass be included in the
rubbish to be carted away by the rubbish
contractor. 1t was stated that there was
no means to get rid Of cut grass. Mr..
Blau said that he had suggested to Com
missioner West to have two or three
signs painted and placed in each alley in
the District warning property owners
against throwing rubbish into the alleys
He said that in one alley he recently found
a bushel and a half OF oyster shells, sew
eral hods Of ashes, a quantity of garbage
and q lot of cut grass, which had been

MODELS OF HANDICRAFT.
Unique Exhibition Of Books at the
Veerhoff Galleries.

A unique exhibition of hand printed and
Illuminated books has been opened at
the Veerhofr galleries. They are the
work of Robert Wilson Hyde of Santa

this city now for the first time. Some
are guest records, some are family reg
listers, wedding books, marriage certifi-
Gates and the like, with title pages
printed on parchment. richly embellished
with decorative borders and beautifully
bound. In some instances the decoration
is pictorial-an appropriate illustration
stained glass or tapestry design. There
Is one especially sumptuOus volume-a
hunting lodge guest book, which is bound
in deerskin and as a double frontispiece
sets forth an idyllic sylvan scene. This
book was literally evolved from the bind
ing, the deerskin suggesting first the
volume and then the picture. And in
the same fashion many Of the. other
books have taken form, fine piece Of

city. Then he went to California and al
most directly became associated with Mr..
Eaton. whose efforts to revive an intelli-
gent interest in the arts and crafts were
by no means fruitless Thus for a num-
ber of years Mr.. Hyde has been doing
decorative work and studying it's several
phases, but this Illuminating work he
took up on his own initiative and with
out special instruction. Some Of his bor-
der6 recall the work of William Morris
and others have medieval flavor, but
the poignant charm of his work is its
genuine originality Indeed, it is Mr..
Hyde's belief that. while one may In any
art build upon tradition. to be of real
worth work must of necessity reflect in
a measure the spirit of the time in
which the artist lives and SO, while fol-
lowing the masters, he has in each in
stance made his own Interpretation,
