HIPPO STEAK GOOD EATING
Tastes Something Between Pork and
Beef and Is Esteemed by Whites
and Natives.

The hippipotamus, as any m who
has travelled in Africa knows, is very
good eating, says Capt. Fritz Du-
quesne. in Success Magazine, in an
article. entitled New Animals for
America" The flesh tastes something
between pork and beef. 1t is highly es.
teemed by whites and natives alike,
1t is known among the Beers, who
were the first whites to eat it, as zee
koe speck (sea-cow bacon) when it is
cured. The hippopotamus is p~ractic.
ally the beef of Africa. The fat, which
lies between the skin and the flesh,
and averages about 200 pounds, is one
OF the purest animal fats known to
science. 1t is in great demand for
soaps and cold cream and brings a
nigh price from the African trader.
of course, people would have preju.
dices against hippo steak at first, but
they would soon learn to eat It. At
present, according to some investiga.
tors. a great deal of the sausage sold

pose of the cold storage method,
which kept meat for years, waiting for
a favorable market. should make PEG.

TRINITY RIVER BASIN.
Gold Gravels in California Investigated
by the United States Geological
Survey.

The gold bearing gravels of the Trim
ity river basin, California, form the sub
ject of a brief report by j. S. Diller,
of the United States geological sur
vey. The basin is especially noted for
its placer mines which have been worked
since the early fifties, and it contains
the La Grange mine, the largest hy-
draulic mine now in operation. In trac-
ing the early geologic transformations
of the region Mr.. Diller states that
there were many advances and retreats
of the glacial ice through long period,
and shows that the movements of the
glaciers were closely related to the de-
velopment of the valley terraces dur
ing the last cycle of erosion, when the
modern streams were trenching their
present valleys deeply below the gem
eral level of the plateau. Glaciers,
Mr. Diller says, are gravel mills" and
the gravel and powders of the till of
the earlier glaciers, having thoroughly
decomposed, liberated all the gold for
concentration by stream action in the
gravels Gaping the terraces Of the pres
ent streams In thus initiating the con-
eentration of gold, glaciers have dis
tinct economic aspect.
Mr. Diller discusses three distinct
cycles of erosion and the resulting con-
centration of gold in the different types
of gravels of the area, and past and
present development Of mining. Ger
tain of the deposits, he believes, are
worthy of careful prospecting, especially
the beds Of gravel on the bars and
benches Of the upper part Of Trinity
river. If the dredges already started
at Trinity Center and Poker Bar prove
as successful as they promised, he says,
new impetus will be given to placer
mining in the basin. A copy Of this re-
port CONTAINED in bulletin 470-B) may
be obtained by application to the d.
