the state, known as the Rock Island

director of the survey, has issued
this statemene after making an in

in this vicinity, particularly along
Rock river and in the neighborhOod
of Gable and ShCrrard. Mr.. DeWClf
personally investigated The geological
conditions in this part OF the state
and found that the resources here
warranted an immediate survey if
the funds are appropriated by the
legislature. The appropriation asked
for is $4,000 more than has been
granted in previous years.

a survey should be made. According
to DR.. Udden, the surrounding terri

ticularly coal, cement and clay de-
pOSits. the value Of which cannot he
fully appreciated until geological
surrey is made. The coal deposits
in this vicinity have scarcely boon
touched, says DR.. UGdcn, and no cG-
fort at all has been made to develop
the cement resources. According to
his investigations. there are valuable
cement deposits along the Rock river
and in East Moline which could be
worked at a great profit.

Opod mineral resources of the state
1t says in part:
Illinois ranks third in mineral
production. Complete figures for
1908 are not available, but probably
the total will not differ greatly from
that for 1907 when the value of the
output amounted to $l52, 221,2S4
omitting pig iron, produced in Hi
noiS but mainly from imported ma
tcrials and a part of the zine pro-
duction for the same reason, the out
put was 93i15,40i This total,
large as it is, is small in comparison
without possibilities. For example,
since 1892 the Portland cement out
put of the state has remained nearly
stationary despite the increasing use
OF such cement and the presence of
abundant material within the state.
In the meantime many new plants
have been built in neighboring
states. In many lines of clay goods
we import rather than manufacture.

A horse belonging TO lerch & Greve,
painters and decorators, and an Elm
street car had set-to yesterday after
noon in which the horse had the better
of the argument and compelled the car
TO retire from the field with a black
eye. The horse is one which has not
been an inhabitant of the city very
long. and it seemed TO have an in
Stinctive animOsity for street cars. for
when it met with one yesterday after
noon about 4:30 on Seventh avenue
and Twenty-eighth street, it immedi
ately arrived at the conclusion that 1t
was n case of life or death.
Despite the efforts of John Greve
and Fred Green, both of whom were
in the wagon, the horse reared up on
| its hind legs and started out to ami
hilate the street car, which had stop
ped when it saw the fight approaching.
The horse pranced up to the car on its
hind legs and made a desperate lunge
at the car. This caused the horse to
ldll over. Ill failing, however, IL IidH-

no sooner fallen than it was on its

After it had run a few blocks and dis
covered that the street car made no at
tempt to follow, it came to stop and
was captured soon afterwards by the
drivers, neither of whom was injured
in the melee.
