Importance. 1t is the source of the
copper deposits. 1t is shown that
the most valuable copper deposits
known in this region are situated
near or at the contact between the
Nikolai greensboro and Chitistone
limestone. The copper is not, how
ever, restricted to that horizon, but
is found in many parts of the green
stone and even extends into the
limestone to a distance of at least
900 feet above it's base. The Ken

made a first shipment of LOO tons
of ore to the Tacoma smelter early
in April, is described in the report
and also the nearby copper proper

claim, on Dan creek. An important
fact concerning the copper ores is
that they are connected with faults

surveys.
Four important geological forma-
tions are represented on the map.
They are, beginning with the oldest,
the Nikolai greensboro, the Mccarthy
shale, and the Kennecott formation
The Chitistone limestone and Nc
Carthy shale are of upper Triassic
age and are separated by an uncon-
formity from the Kennecott forma-
ton, which is of Upper Jurassic age,
possibly extending into the Lower
Cretaceous. One of the important
geological facts brought out by this
work is that a large part of the
shales which were considered by ear
lier workers as belonging to the Nc
earthly shale is in reality part of the
Kennecott formation. This correc-
ton to former maps was made pos
sible by larger collections of fossils
and much more favorable opportun-
ity for study.

MINERAL RESOURCES OF N|z|NA DISTRICT

The United States Geological Sur
vey has just issued a bulletin on
1.-THE geology and mineral resources
of the Nizina district, Alaska" by
Fred H. Moffitt, and S. R. Caps, of
the United States Geological Survey.
The report describes the region in
which the Kennecott Bonanza copper
mine and the gold placers of Dan and
Chititu creeks are situated The re-
port contains a topographic map of
the Nizina district-the Nizina spec
iaI map-based on surveys made in
1908 by D. c. Wftherspoon, and r.
M. LaFollette. This map portrays
an area of about 500 square miles
on a scale of 1:62500, or about
one mile to the inch, with contour
intervals of so feet, and was used
as base for Moffitt's and Capp's
geological work in the following sum-
mer.
The geology of the Nizina district
was first described by Rohn, who
visited the region in 1899, and later
by Schrader and Spencer, of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey. who
made a reconnaissance survey in
1900. This earlier work estab

We guarantee mmt late and positive
relief to all sufferers from constipation.
In every case where our remedy fails
to do this we will return the money
paid us for 1t. That's a frank state
ment of facts, and we want you to
substantiate them at our risk.
Rexall Orderies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
effects, They have very mild but
positive action upon the organs with
which they come IN contact, apparently
acting as a regulative tonic upon the
relaxed muscular coat of the bowel,
thus overcoming weakness, and aiding
to restore the bowels to more vigorous
and healthy activity.
Rexall 0rderies are unsurpassable
and ideal for the use of children, old
folks and delicate persons. We cannot
too highly recommend them to all suf-

Chihuahua, Mexico. June 14.-It be- came known today that influence had been brought to bear at Mexico City to keep General Orozco's rebel army out Of Chihuahua. Orozco, who among a large number of insurreetos is more popular than Francisco I. Madero, Jr., is still encamped with his ragged army 30 miles north.
 Meantime all military authority n this zone has been invested in Ger 4eral Villar an old federal commander, and nothing has come from Mexico City to dispel the general belief that Orozco is to be shelved or at least kept in an obscure position.
 Orozco confidently expects to enter the city at the head of his troops. The inhabitants hope that he will not enter Chihuahua. as the presence of three thousand more armed mean would present a problem.
 Governor Gonzales has received no definite word as to whether the federal troops are to evacuate. At present it is impossible for the federal troops to move on account of the lack of raii- road facilities.
 Harry Ives of Cheshire, Conn.,. has dug up two large copper. nuggets on his land. He has found evidences of copper there before.

WORKING UP INTEREST FOR
 FOURTH OF JULY OBSERVANCE
Believed That There Should Be Some Attractions Here to Draw the People to This Natural Center.

Quite a feeling is being aroused about the city for the arranging of a celebration of the Fourth of July this year which will be out of the ordinary and savor. possibly of one of the day of an old home week. It is maintained that Norwich is the natural center, with all it's trolleys, for the reception of a large crowd on that day, and a big celebration would be the means of getting 10000 or more people here and keeping local people at home.
 Suggestion has been made that fly ing machine be secured. an auto race or hill climbing contest be planned, with a ball game, parade of civic or ganizatien, and in the evening have a big display of fireworks.
 There are a number who are waxing enthusiastic over the idea of such a celebration, but the matter seems to lack sympathetic support to get it started. It is claimed that the most successful old home week the city ever had was arranged for in two weeks, and that there is now plenty of time to plan a big drawing card for that day.
