no THE ADVANCEMENT OF ART
Economic Inquiry, Conducted Along
Scientific Lines, Means Much to
the Human Race.

Notwithstanding the growth in re-
cent years of the work of the geologi-
cal survey along practical economic
lines, scientific work has not been
neglected, according to the annual re-
port of the director for last year. In
fact, in the survey the scientific inves-
legations are inseparable from the
economic work, though the one or the
other may predominant in purpose &C
cording to the needs of the particular
research in hand. In any field econo-
mic work of the highest rank is i'm
possible without full knowledge of the
scientific laws and principles pertain
ing to the subject Of the work, but as
there Is no application of geology
which does not involve unsolved prob
lens, some of them of the highest i'm
portance, the best knowledge available
Is nevertheless relative. 1t thus fol-
lows that the broad and searching
observations which should accompany
every piece of good economic work
comprehend data that are eventually
combined in the construction of new
scientific hypothesis, some of which,
as more observations accumulate,
grow into established laws or princi-
pies that are in turn Of the greatest
practical consequence. Thus the de-
tailed studies Of the metalliferous de-
posits in one region or another bring
to light evidence from which to deter
mine the genesis Of the ores and the
modes or conditions by their occur
renee, and the economic inquiry be-
comes more intelligent and successful
when once this new principle regard
ing the mode OF an ore occurrence is
understood
