STRANGE ANIMALS OF PRE-
 HISTORIC TIMES

North Platte river generally carries considerable volume of water, while the South Platte is dry except during times of floods, because its water is used for irrigation farther upstream, The North Platte is $50 miles long and drains about 2s,500 square miles. At the City of North Platte the river has maximum discharge, according to the United States Geological Sur vey, of about 10000 cubic feet sec ond and minimum discharge of only 70 cubic feet second. Its average volume of flow during the nine months from March to November is about B. 500 cubic feet second.
 From Dexter to 0galalla. Nebr., South Platte River and the raildoad are close to the bluffs bordering table land. Here and at other places where the bluffs come close to the river many travellers in the days of the Overland Trail suffered from attacks by Indian and white outlaws. who were wont to swoop down unexpectedly from their hiding places in the hills to murder and plunder. It is diff cult for the modern traveller sur rounded by the luxuries of the rail- way train to realize the hardships and dangers endured by the men and wom- en of indomitable courage and energy who under such conditions invaded and finally conquered the west.
 The fossils found in the Ogalalla and Arikaree formations show that western Nebraska was inhabited in what the geologist terms late Mioeene time by animals of very different typ es from those living there now, and also that very different physical con ditions prevailed at that time. In place of the dry, barren plains of to- day there were numerous streams and swampy lowlands.

IN THE MINING WORLD
ALASKA. MINING INDUSTRY IN
 1914

The certainty of railroad connection
 with the Yukon basin and the proba-
 bility of an early development of the
 coal fields greatly stimulated the
 search for mineral deposits in Alas
 ka during 1914, according to Alfred
 II. Brooks, geologist in charge of the
 Division of Alaska Mineral Resources,
 United States Geological Survey, in report numbered Bulletin 622-A, recently issued by the Survey. The
 mining industry in Alaska as whole
 was prosperous in 1914, though the value of the total mineral output was somewhat less than that of 1913, larg- ely because of the decrease in the price of copper, for the gold output
 was little larger than that of the previous year.
 A noteworthy feature of the mining industry in 1914 was the great mum
 Der of explorations made on behalf of capital looking for properties that would warrant development on a large scale. This research was most notable in the south-eentral region, which will be directly benefited by the building of the Government rail road, though the new railroad will un- doubtedly directly or indirectly bene. fit all parts of the Territory. The regions tributary to the proposed line will receive the direct benefit, but, other regions will obtain cheaper fuel.
 The activities in the mining districts in Alaska are described in detail in NIT. Brooks report, which contains al- so a chapter On the future of placer mining in Alaska. Between 5000 and 5000 men are engaged in placer min ing and prospecting for placers, and nearly third of the white population of the Territory is directly or indirect ly supported by the plaeer-mining in- dustry. The question of its future is therefore to them-a most important one. Will it continue to decline or are the known auriferous gravels sufficient to justify the belief that the indus try will hold its own or will inereasef It is believed that the future of the Industry must depend, so far as now can be determined, on the exploration of auriferous gravels of lower gold tenor than those which in the past have yielded most of the gold, though there is, of course, always the hope of finding new bonanza deposits, such as have in the last decade yielded large returns.
 No one can deny that there are ex- tensive deposits of auriferous gravels in Alaska, but because of the lack of systematic prospecting of gravels car rying small amounts of gold it is difficult to reach any definite conclus- ions about the extent of deposits that can be profitably exploited when cheaper transportation and fuel have reduced, the costs of mining. In view of the importance of the subject the Survey has published in this report a summary of the data relating to it. The general conclusion is drawn that with cheaper fuel and transportation there is no reason to believe that plac- CT mining will continue to decline. A copy of Bulletin 622-A may be ob- tained free on application to the Direc- tor of the Geological Survey, Wash ington, D. c.

OIL DISPL.ACES COAL

Owing to the great output of petro- leum in California and it's uss as a manufacturing, railroad, and steamer fuel, the production of coal in Wash. ipgton has been considerably reduced curing recent years. It is estimated that the consumption of California oil for fuel on the Pacific Coast is equivalent to about 21,0oO,o00 tons of coal, or between 6 and ' tines the output of coal in Washington, or for that matter in all the Pacific Coast States combined, in 1914.
