Work in the mines during the week
has gone ahead without hindrance or
mishap, and good progress is noted
all along the lode. 40 tons of
$14.14 ore were extracted from the
$3.50 of the Ophir from the raise on
the $500.
At the Con Virginia the northeast
drift is now in 154 feet. The water
in the Crown Point-Belcher incline is
still kept 40 feet below the 1600-foot
level of the incline.
At the Ophir, on the $3.50 level,
they have extracted 159 cars (esti-
mated at 143 tons and assaying
$14.14 per ton. At a point 100 feet
in from the raise, in the southwest
drift started from the west crosscut
from the southwest drift, they have
put in ten sill floor sets of timbers.
On the 2400 level, they advanced the
southeasterly crosscut seven feet,
making a total length of 80 feet, with
face in quartz and p%orphyry, the for
mer assaying from $1.OO to $1.5O
per ton. Work in this crosscut is now
discontinued and at a point 40 feet
in from the main southwest drift at
the end of the sea- crosscut, they
have begun to cut out the ground
preparatory to starting a two-com-
partment raise. On the $500 level,
they have enlarged and retimbered
the old joint Ophir-Mexican winze

of Central Tunnel Dump ore and 80
tons of custom ore.

154 feet. They passed through vein
p%orphyry and %Stringers of quartz, the
latter assaying from $1.0O to $3.50
per ton.
The report of the United Comstock
Pumping Association shows that they
have pulled Starrett pump No. 2 from
the middle compartment of the winze
and are now installing an air lift
pump, which is designed to hold the
water at about so feet below the $500
level, where the water will lie held
until mining work of the companies
require the water to be held at a
lower point. The pumps at the va

throughout the week.
At the Sierra Nevada, on the $500
winze station, they have finished
breaking out for sheaveS, have com
pleted all heavy timbering and have
partially Jagged the station.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY DESCRIBES
EASTfRNMOST CITY OF UNITED STATES

A report on the PASSPORT quad
rangle, Maine, recently issued by the
United States geological survey, deals
with a region of more than usual in
terest. Eastport, from which the
quadrangle receives it's name, has the
double distinction of being the east
ernmost point of land in the United
States in West Quoddy Head, marked
by a lighthouse a few miles south of
Eastport, but still within the quad
rangle. The natural beauties of the
region and the large stretches of pro-
tected water along the irregular coast
attract to this part of Maine many
summe visitors, although it has not
yet become SO populous a resort as
the coast of Maine farther west or the
Canadian coast farther east. Some
conception of the extreme ir%regularity
of the coast may be gained from the
statement that Eastport may be
reached from it's sister town Lubec
by a 3-mile ferry, whereas the
traveller following the shore would
have to walk 100 rocky miles to get
from one of these towns to the 9TH
er.
The Eastport region is one of the
few places in the Atlantic states that
still counts among it's inhabitants the
direct descendants of the native own
ers of the soil. These are the Passa-
maquoddy Indians, who form a small
village at Pleasant Point, where they
live as temporal wards of the state
and as spiritual wards of the Catholic
church. Because they have adopted
SO freely the ways of the white man
these Indians have ceased to be pic
turesque, but tourists are interested
in them because of the really artistic
baskets of sweet grass and dyed
wood woven by the women. Only
once a year, on Corpus Christi day, do
they deck themselves out in cere-
minial robes and with songs and
dances recall the savage glories of
long ago. This feast day of course
attracts spectators from all the neigh
boring town. Though now very up to
date, the village of these Indians as
late as 1888 consisted mainly of
tepees, and it was then common to
see them clad in their native cos
tunes. Their school, conducted by
sisters of charity, and their church
play an important part in their lives
and have been a source of great inn
provement to the tribe.
To the geologist the Eastport re-
gion is of remarkable interest. Its
rocks, which belong to the periods
known as Silurian and Devonian, in
clude thousands of feet of alternating
lava flows, beds of consolidated vol
\canic ash, and consolidated muds,

STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS.

For many years information con-
corning state geological surveys was
difficult or impossible to obtain.
Much Of 1t was scattered through
man. publications, and many facts
regarding organization and methods
were not pssplished. This need of &C
curate information became so appar-
ent that the United States Geolog-
ical Survey has pu~bfished these data
in a single volume. Bufleton 465, en-

CHRISTIANA, April 27.-Thou-
sands of American visitors are ex-
pected here during the summer to
witness the celebration of the centen-
NAL of the independence of Norway
from Denmark. TIE celebration will
also commemorate a hundred years of
peace on the Scandinavian peninsula.
An exhibition which will seek to
show the progress made in Norway
during the last century, will be
opened by King Haakon in Christi
ana on May Is. Norse-Americans
have been invited to participate in
the exhibition and in the celebration
generally. In a special pavilion
called Norway Abroad" the Norwe-
gians who have sought a home lin
America will show their hOme-stay-
ing countrymen the life they lead in
their adopted home.
The plans for the exhibition and
festivities have met with great inter-
est and enthusiasm in the United
States, a substantial indication Of
which is the appropriation by North
Dakota or $4,000 for the expenses
of the official participation of that
state. Alfred Gabrielsen has arrived
to take charge of North Dakota's ex-
hibit. Minnesota and Wisconsin will
also be adequately represented, but
in a less official way. An interesting
feature of the exhibit of these states
will be the publication of special his
tories of the states, showing the
GERS, who helped to build them up,
and the prosperous conditions under
which they now live.
One of the most interesting festiv-
ties of the program will be a great
home coming gathering of Norwe-
gian-Americans, and preparations are
being made to entertain at least fiji
~ty-thOusand people. Some societies
from the Norwegian states have char
tered their own steamships and will
sail direct from New York to Chris
tiana. These parties will be accom-
panied by their w bands. Ameri-
cans are expected to take a very con-
spicuous part in the celebration, not
only because of the large number OF
Norwegians settled in America, but
because of the good feeling prevail
ing between the two countries. The
stars and stripes will be een every
where displayed beside the red, white
and blue of Norway.
In the parade of May IT the De-
corah college band from DEBORAH,
Ia, will march in the place of honor.
Under the leadership of Professor
Sperati this band will tour Norway
during the summer.
The Fourth of July will be cele-
brated with all of its latest safe and
sane attachments. The celebration
of Americas natal day will center

which show that in these ancient
times the Eastport region was a
veritable American bay of Naples.
bordered by volcanoes hat poured
lavas out upon the floor of the ocean
and showered ashes into it's waters.
On many of the weather-beaten sur
faces of the rocks the lavalike struc-
ture appears as perfect as On a piece
of modern lava. The outward con
tour of these Silurian volcanoes has
been completely destroyed in the
wearing down of the land during mil
lions of succeeding years, and even
their exact location can be but rough
ly surmised. Only the lava flows and
ash beds remain, like scattered ruins
of fallen temples.
We are all familiar with those
| startling upsets in the stability of the
land which earthquakes produce, but
probably few of us realize that most
of the land surface of the earth is
undergoing almost continuous slow
movement of uplift or subsistence.
Geologic studies around Eastport
yield evidence that such gradual land
movement has lately been in progress
! there and has been one of the most
recent events in the geologic story of
that region, for it is known that dur
ing and Immediately after the in
vasion of this part of the continent
by the great ice sheet from the north
west in glacial times the land stood
as much as 200 feet lower than 1t
does today. Even those who r un-
initiated in geologic lore can see in
the clay deposits which cover the
lowlands and locally carry clamshells,
in the gravel beds that extend high
up the hillsides, and in occasional
rock-cut cliffs far above the present
sea cliffs, convincing evidence that
the land once stood much lower than
now. When the great covering OF
glacial ice melted away or retreated
northward the land rose somewhat
rapidly to about it's present position,
and, remarkable as it may seem,
there are good grounds for believing
that it's previous subsistence was due
directly to the weight of the glacial
ice, and that the uplift occurred in
response to the decrease of weight as
the ice melted away-surely a re-
makable mobility and constituencies in
anything so phlegmatic and resistant,
according to usual standards, as the
rocky crust of mother earth.
