VALUABLE STUFF
RIVERS TAKE AWAY
Sediment Borne to the Oceans
Amounts to Millions of
Tons Annually.

According to the figures of a light
ming calculator writing for the Inde-
pendent. from every square mile drain
ed by the Mississippi eighty six tons
OF salts are deposited annually in the
Gulf of Mexico. The average outflow
OF the river is placed at $4,000 cubic
feet per second, and from the analy-
sis of this water the amount OF ma
terial in solution transported by the
Mississippi has been calculated. It.
reaches the enormous quantity of 1885,
$4,000 tons per year.
The amount of sediment carried By
the Mississippi in addition to these
salts is enormous. The quantity de-
livered annually to the Gulf of Mexico.
according to Fl. L. Abbott. is S12,500.-
100000 pounds, or about 4OSo00 600
tons.
These figures are the result of an in
vestigation of the quantity OF Western
stream waters made by the United
States Geological Survey TO determine
their fitness for irrigation
The average discharge of silt and
mud per year by the Colorado River
ton to the suspended solid matters
carried by this river there are also
enormous quantities OF dissolved suo1
stances transported into the sea.
These dissolved salts are 4,55o,0co
tons of common sail. $4,000 tons OF
Glauber's salts, 900 tons OF lime,
100000 tons of gypsum and 4.S00,000
tons of magnesium suiphate or Ep-
som salts, making a total OF l9,49o,U0O
tons of dissolved matter annually car
ried into the Gulf of California by this
river. In spite of this enormous
amount of dissolved matter. the Col
orado River is not considered to be a
stream of high mineraliZat ton for the
western section OF this country. This
is due to the fact that the amount of
water is SO enormous. in proportion to
the dissolved salts. that they are only
Il very small proportion of the total
discharge.
The concentration OF the salts in the
Elm Fork of the Red river in Okla
homa. is by far more than that in the
colorado. This particular river an
nually discharges 1900, 900 tons of
common salt, which is equal to 1850
tons per square mile of area drained.
while the discharge Of salt from the
Colorado is twenty tons per square
mile. The total amount of salt an
nually carried away by the Elm Fork
is 2,3S9000 tons
IL must be borne in mind. however.
that these quantities. vast as they are,
represent only a fraction of the total
matter transported. The mud. sand,
silt and products Of rock decomposi-
ton are deposited along the entire
course of the river, and what proper
ton of the whole at last finds its way
into the ocean no one can say, but
the traction cannot be large I.

housemen and dealers looked for. In
the bright markets prices held up we'll,
and only from two points come reports
of weakening in values. and from
those two the weakening is only frac-
tional and due to local conditions
rather than to any all-pervading cause.
The deliveries in Richmond consisted
entirely of the dark classes OF the
weed and almost entirely of the sun
cured goods. The sales of the sun
cured on the warehouse floors amounted
To something over three quarters OF a
million pounds, but not quite = million.
Much of the stock offered was In the
bad order that has characterized the
offerings for several weeks past, and
III this respect the buyers were disap-
pointed for they had been led to be-
lieye that what remains of the goods

Possibly because Of this disappontme nt

they otherwise might have been. Any
