SURVEY WORK
ALMOST DONE
In the State of West Virginia
by the Federal Gov
eminent.
ONLY THREE COUNTIES
And Parts Of a Few Others
Now Remain to Be
Surveyed.


WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. sO--
The field force of the Geological Sur
lvey has completed the work around
WEIGH and Jaeger as far as the West
Virginia part of it is concerned and
has moved on to Naugatuck. Tho
work at We:ch and Jaeger has been
completed within a week and that
around Naugatuck has Just been be-
.gun.
When the Naugatuck section Ie
completed, the party will move OH
to Dlngess, the work around which
place is expected to be completed
this fall.
Another party has Just completed
the work around Plnerille. Wyoming
county, and is now around Mullen.
east of Pineyille, on the virglnian
railroad. 1t is expected that the
work in Wyoming county will be
completed this fall.
With the completion of the field
work. which 1t is expected Will be
done before winter sets in. practic-
ally the entire coal fields of West
Virginia will have been surveyed aud
the Typographical sheets for that dis
trlct will either have been completed
or will be in preparation.
With this work, which is now UNI
der way completed, the work of the
Geological Survey in West Virginia
will be nearly completed. AT pres
ent there are but three entire coun.
ties unsurveyed, and twelve but
partially surveyed.
Morgan, Hampshire and Hardy
have not been touched by the Geo
logical Survey, while parts of Berk-
eley, Mineral. Randolph. Nicholas.
Webster, Pocahontas, Greenbrier,
Monroe, Summers, Wyoming, Boone
and Logan, remain unfinished.
Berkeley county will also be COM
pleted this yeor. for force is now
working on a quadrangle which en-
braces the northern part OF this
county, along with portions of Mary
land and Pennsylvania.
The work in West Virginia IL
farther along than in almost any
other state. About two-thirds OF
Ohio has been survey and in about
half of the state the maps have been
prepared. With work which is go.
ing on there this fall in the country
between Jackson and Portsmouth
practically the eastern half of the
state win have been completed. OF
the atlas sheets published by the
Geological Survey. 1875 have been
used on Ohio and SO on West vir-
ginia. But these SO sheets represent
a larger proportion of the area OF
West Virginia than the 125 shcets
represent of Ohio.
Work in Pennsylvania has been
greatly delayed by the failure OF that
state to provide its portion OF the
funds with which to carry on the
work.

TO ABOLISH CIRCUIT COURTS
Provided for in Bill for the Revision
Of the judiciary Title.

Washington. March S.-The aboli-
tiOn of the circuit courts of the Unit
ed States is provided for in the bill
for the revision of the judiciary title
The Joint committee on revision of
laws will introduce the bill during the
present week. Ten chapters remain
TO be drawn up, and these viii be as
amendments introduced from time TO
time
The decision reached 10 abolish the
United States circuit courts was bas-
ed upon the grounds that district
judges sit in circuit courts and tran
sact nine-tenths of the business. Ii is
pointed out that there is no reason
for the maintenance Of circuit courts
when certain cases may be brought
in district courts, others in circuit
courts, still others in either court.
while frequently it requires a decis-
ion by the United States Supreme
Court TO determine which is the. prop
er court for an action 10 be brought
in.
With circuit court judges sitting
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals. as they frequently do, the
abolition of the court will have no eff
feet upon their tenure of Office of a
number Of clerks and deputy clerks.
although. as in the case of judges
more than half of the district court
clerks do the work of the circuit
courts. The passage of the bill will
result in the abolition of 76 circuit
courts in the United States proper.
