UNCLE SAMUEL IS
RECORD MAP MAKER
Enormous Number of Geologic
and Topographic Maps Made
by Government.

The greatest official map making es-
| tablIshment In the country at present
is the United States geological survey.
In constructing the huge topoGrap phic
and gooosical maps Of the United States
every detail OF the work is done by the
survey. from the work OF the topog-
raphers who make the maps IN the
field down through the various stages
OF drafting. lettering. editing, enGrav
ing and ithographic printing in many
coored inks. There Is practically no
compilation about the geological sur
vey. maps; they are based on surveys
made on the ground, and the office
work consists simply In putting them
into form for issuance TO tho public
They depict most. faithfully the char
acteristics OF the areas surveyed.
Every wear with the coming OF the
open field season numerous survey
parties hurry away from the Washing
ton office TO the four quarters OF the
and the result OF their seasons work
Is the Topographic and geologic map
ping Of tens of thousands of SQUARE
from the most forbiddng swamps and
morasses to the lof,iest of the glacier
covered mountains Of the Rockies and
most valuable mineral deposits OF the
nation. While these parties are thus
travcrsinG untrodden fields. the sur
yey engraving and printing plant
through all the year. is turning out
hundreds Of thousands Of copies OF
the results OF the previous years field
work.
In A single midsummer month this year
the survey plant printed 1O2. 4o4 topo-
graphic maps. 5a45 geologic folios, each
containing many maps and 1tt,l79 copies
OF other geologic maps. charts, etc Be-
sides It's own maps a great number of
maps are also printed by the survey
engraving division for other branches
and departments OF the government
Stephen J. kubel. chief cngraver. has
run this extensive engraving and
printing plant under the director of
the geological survey for the past TWEEN
ty-lwo years. Years ago he instituted
an almost exact cost keeping system
which has enabled him to enter into
close competitive bidding on some of
the government contract work and To
run the engraving plant on thoroughly
up-to-date business lines.
Most OF the maps are printed In col
ors and for the total number Of 21S,-
9l9 maps and charts printed during the
month mentioned the number of sep
arate printings or Impressions was .2s7,-

America. which is now being printed
IN four sheets, shows forty two differ

patch from the west stating that the Nc
vada Hills property Will place its nc w
mill in commission within the next few
days or as soon as tha tanks have been
filled, and the water supply adjusted.
Considerable water is being encountered
In the underground workings and this is
now being handled by the electric pumps
on the eighth level. In view OF the In
creased flow from the mine. il Is now be =
hered that from this source alone Nevada
Hills Will receive water sufficient for ali
requirements.
The report states that up to the pres

portance to Nevada Hills. Up TO the
present time. the bonanza shoot has been
opened on the $50 and 40. the latter level
showing by far the highest value and the
greatest width OF ore. at last accounts
on this level the ore has been opened for
distance OF $50 feet In length Of which
200 feet averaged ten feet In width and
assayed $50 per ton 1t Is for the pur-
pose of cutting this shoot in depth that
the crosscut on the $40 Is being driven
While this is the most important ore body
In the mine. the property has a large
quantity OF lower grade milling ore from
which good profits should be realized.
The mill which the Nevada Hills COM
pany has been constructing, has a mini
mum capacity OF 120 tons per day. With
this plant in commission the company
should be able TO make very good earri-
ings. This, of course, is dependent on
the grade Of the ore treated. The bo-
nanza ore shoot averages In the neigh
borhood OF $50 per ton while in the Fair
view Eagle and Nevada Hills outside Of
this ore body, there is said to be large
tonnage OF good milling ore. Should the
company be able to maintain the grade at
S25 with the total milf capacity utilized
1t would not be unreasonable to expect
earnings OF around $500. 900 per annum.-

HALF BILLION TONS
OF COAL PRODUCED

For the first time in the history OF the
united states, the coal mines of the coun-
try In 1910 were credited with an output
exceeding half billion short tons, the
combined production of anthracite. hf-
luminous coal and Ignite having amount
ed 10 oOl 800 short tons, with a spot
value OF Sb29:529,7i5. This great output,
according to Edward w Parker, coal sta
tistlcian OF the United States geological
survey. was attained In spite Of the fac,
that most OF the mines IN Illinois. Mis-
souri, Kansas. Arkansas. Oklahoma were
closed for nearly six months by one of the
most bitterly contested strikes I'm the his
tory of the Industry, The heaviest ton
mage mined in any year previous to 1910
was in 1907. when a total OF 4SO 363, ,424
short tons was produced
Compared with 1909" said Mr. Par
ker. the output In 1910 showed an In
crease OF 4o.5s2,27o short tons, or SIS
per cent Prices generally were a little
higher in 1910 than in 1909. the average
for Pennsylvania anthracite being s2'i3
per long ton. against $2.O6 in 1909. and
The average for bitumlnous coal was Slip
per short ton In 1910, against s107 in
1909. The total value increased 1880 per
cent.
Except for the states affected BY the
strike order, the increase in production
was general among the more important
coal-producing states. The output OF an
thracite in Pennsylvania Increased from
SlOIO,S59 short tons. valued at s1ia. 1Sl. :
5SI. TO S4.4S5,2 ,23G short tons, valued at

cent more than the entire output OF the
United States In 1870 and more than half
OF the total output in 1880.
The largest increases in production In

Sioux Falls, May % Sioux Falls
may have an aviation meeting after

Monday moor a number of busl-
ness men met at the MONDAY lunch
at the Gates cafe representatives of
one of the big aviation concerns,
who presented a proposition for the
three days aviation meeting in Sioux
Falls. Since the last proposition
was Submitted a number of the lead
ing members of the Commercial
club, who did not look on the prop.
osition with favor at that time, have
changed their minds, and the senti-
ment was strongly in favor of the
meeting.
The proposition was discussed at
all angles. There seems to be a
fear that the meeting might prove
a failure, which Was something to
be avoided. But when the repre-
sentatives of the aviation concern
offered to make a guarantee CT a
flight there was a weakening of the
DIRECTORS.
Finally Secretary Schlosser was
authorized to correspond with the
Curtis Aviation company, the Mois-
ant Aviation company, and any of
the other responsible companies and
put up to them the proposition
which the Commercial club will
insist upon and that is that flights
must be guaranteed. The CONNER
-ciaI club proposes to protect the
people of Sioux Falls and surround
country against any frizzle In
other words a guarantee must be
made that outsiders especially will
receive a return for the money eX-
pended in coming here for an avia-
ton meeting.
If the proposition of the CONNER
cial club is accepted an aviation
meet will be held in this city inside
the next three weeks.
The Molsant people put on an ex-
hibition at Sioux City last week

minutes and gained a point Of five

And at that, the weather conditions
were not favorable.

BAD O NEAR
SIOUX FALLS
Many Buildings Destroyed, But
No Lives Lost

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 20.-A
disastrous tornado visited the coun-
try IN the vicinity of Deli Rapids
sixteen miles north Of this city
Thursday evening, injuring three
persons and destroying at least
three buildings, most of them farm
houses. The tornado started north
west of the town of Dell Rapids and
struck a corner of the town. The
names of the injured-a woman and
two children-cOuld not be learned.
In Dell Rapids nearly the entire
population sought refuge in cellars,
and in this manner avoided injury.
First reports stated that the town
had been DESTROYED. This resulted
probably, from the destruction of
telegraph and telephone lines, but
latter reports greatly modified the
effects of the storm.
Mrs. Frank Oldsback, who suffer
ed the 'oss of all her buildings. was
caught in a hailstorm with her two
children, while returning from a
schoOlhouSe and all three were bad
Iy bruised by hail. At Lyrons, a
town near here, a large livery barn
was wrecked and plate store fronts
were blown in.
The most damage to property
seems to have been donea It and near
LYONS, a small station on the South
Dakota Central north of this city.
At Lyons the front and roof of the
hardware store was removed. An
ice house was picked up and dump
ed on the prairie two hundred feet
away, while a buggy bed which had
been removed from its running
gear and was standing on horses
only four feet awav was not disturb
ed.
A new $1,000 farm residence and
barn on a farm one and a half miles
from Lyons yer leveled to the
ground. Another farm house ne ar
by was moved six feet from its
foundation A number of smaller
buildings in the neighborhood of
Lyons we're destroyed, but no lives
