Geological Survey Continues.

The work of the geological survey
in West Virginia will be continued for
one more year, at least. Such is the
decision OF Secretary of Interior Lane
after the geological survey had de-
clded that TO proceed further with the
work in that state until some OF the
work in other states is farther nd
vanceG. The entire West Virginie del
eSatlon, except one or two who we're
unable to accompany the others call
ed upon the secretary of the interior
TO explain to him that il seemed hard
~ fair after cooperating for years
with the state of West Virginia that
the federal government should sud
denly withdraw from the ARRANGEMENT
after the state had provided the an.
preparation for continuing the work.
The secretary regarded the matter i'm
much the same light as the West Vir.
ginians and consented to permit the
work TO proceed for at least another
year.
