Topographic mapping and investiga-
tons Of the water supply OF various sec
tious Of Maine are being carried on this
season by the United States Geological
Survey in cooperation with the Maine
State Water Storage Commission. The
field work includes the mapping OF the
areas known as the Wsldoboro and
Washington Pond l5-minute Qusdrangles
In Lincoln, Knox and Waldo counties.
These quadrangles have each an approx
innate area of 2l5 square miles. The
work is being done by Topographers
W. II. Griffin, J. II. LeFeaver, j. Nj.
Perkins, and j. a. Davey. This map
ping will include the detailed surveys
necessary to prepare maps according to
the usual standard of the Geological
Surveys topographic work In Maine,
showing all rivers, towns, roads, and
railroads, as well as the surface relief OF
the country by means of 20-foot contour
lines. The completed map will be en-
grayed on the scale OF mile to ! inch
and will probably be ready for distribu-
ton about two years after completion OF
the field work.
In its Investigations OF surface water
the Geological Survey publishes records
Of stream flow in Maine which are fur
nished by the State Water Storage Com
mission, Cyrus C. Bsbb chief engineer,
and which include hydrometric data col
lectsd at % gsging stations and records
OF the fluctuatlon in level of Moosehead
Lake, Green Lake, and Branch Lake.
At these gaging stations the height or
stage OF the rivers is determined each
day by local observers and measure
ments of the discharge of the streams
are made by engineers of the Survey.
From these data the quantity OF water
flowing past the stations is determined.
This information is of use in Maine
chiefly In the design, construction, and
maintenance Of power plants, IN the
study of water storage, and in the se-
lection of suitable water supplies for
municipalities. The records are pub
lished In the annual report OF the Maine
State Water Storage Commission and 10
the water-supply papers of the United
States Geological Survey. Information
relative to stream flow in Maine may be
obtained by application to c. c. Babb,
chief engineer, State House, Augusta,
Maine, or to the Director, U. S. Geologi-
cal Survey, Washington. ID. G.

EIGsiT GYPSUM PLACER CLAIMS
LOCATED IN SNOWY NOUN
TAIN COUNTRY.

1t has just become known that there
were recently located in the Snowy
mountain country eight gypsum plac-
er claims covering 16O acres. The To-
cations are in Section 25, Township
II n, Range q. Here the outcroping
of the gypsum bed, white as the driv-
en- snow, has been a land mark for
many years it not being generally
known that the substance had any
commercial value. The bed is 26 feet
and four inches thick and extends
over about a quarter section Of
ground.
Three locations covering 20 acres
were made by John w. Vipond, owner
of the Vipond coal mine, F. c. Metz
ger, member of the Musselshell
county board of county commissioners
and w. v. Lewis, well known sheep
man of that section. Five other loca-
tions were made by people living in
that part Of the county.
That the gypsum bed had any COM
mercial value was never realized by
anyone until rumors became rife OF
the proposed construction OF the n. p.
railwy thru that part Of the country.
1t hen became evident that the noun
tain OF white earth would some day
mean the development of great in
dustry, and the people who have Sc
cured the land will no doubt some
day profit by their foresight.
| Gypsum is used in the maaufact-
ure of plaster of paris and stucco, and
is also used extensively as fertilizer.
