1906, which report is now accepted as
a standard and authentic description
of this wonderful section of the coun-
try at pages 40 and so Of the buiie-
tin, says of the geology OF the sheep
Creek Basin:
"The formations of Gold creek ex-
tend without interruption southwest
ward to Taku Inlet, but only the two
outer divsions,-namely, the piack
slate and the group of greenstones
and intercalated slates-are cut by
Sheep Creek. On the ridge between
Gold and Sheep Creeks the band or
states with their intrusive dikes OF
dark diorite is about $500 feet across
and this width is only slightly dimin-
ished in the vicinity of Grindstone

distant. AS in Gold Creek the black
states contain dikes of dark dirite

general trend of the formation. : :

somewhat irregular dixie of the coast
range type of diorite. This rock
closely resembles in composition the
ore-bearing bikes of the Treadwell
mines, and here it has been impreg-
mated to a certain extent by sulphides
and locally contains stringers Of
quartz. This intrusion cuts dixie of
the dark dirite about 600 feet north
west of the Gould and Curry work
ings, thus establishing the relative
age of these two types of rock.
"At the head of Sheep Creek is a
considerable thickness of thin-bedded
black limestone lying next to the
main greensboro contact. At first
sight this limestone seems to be but
little affected metamorphism, but on
closer inspection shows that practic-
ally all of the carbonaceous material
which gives the dark color has been
changed to graphite. This mineral &C.

boundary between these limestones
and the greenstones is much less reg
ular than the corresponding horizon
farther north. This is apparently due
to the intrusive nature of part Of
the greensboro in this vicinity. 1t is,
however, impossible to distinguish the
intrusive greenstones from the other
portions, which are believed to have
formed as volcanic flows. On the
geologic map this boundary is great
ly generalized, so that the irregular
ity of the contacts does not appear.
"The group of greenstones and in
terbedded states, corresponding with
similar rocks farther north, separates
the band of black states from Gas
tineau Channel and forms the noun
tains lying between the basins of
Sheep and Grindstone creeks and tide
water. The contact with the black
slate band follows fairly straight
course from a point just northeast
of Robert Peak to Taku Inlet, just

who has been engaged i'll that occu-

faith in the value of the properties
and that they had in them the max

IMPORTED COTTON
FUM|GATEO AFTER
FEBRUARY |, 1915

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. 1.-THE
acting secretary of agriculture has
signed a regulation requiring that af !.
ter February l, 1916, all imports of
raw cotton must be fumigated at the
port of entry before it can be release |
by the custom officials. The purpose
of this Is to make certain that the pink
bollworm found in Egyptian and other
imported cotton, and other destructive
cotton insects found abroad, shall not
be introduced into American cotton
fields. The danger from the pink
bollworm is especially great, as this
insect may infest seed left accidental.
ly in the bale through faulty ginning.
If this seed should become mixed with
seed used for planting, or be planted
accidentally near growing cotton, ths
pink boil worm might get foothol1
and cause the great damage in this
country that it does in foreign cotton
fields.
Fumigation is required after thor
ough study and after hearings on the
subject by the department, which es-
tablish clearly that hydrocyanic acid
gas, properly used, will kill all insects
in the bale without damaging the quail
ity of the cotton. The department he's
worked out method whereby whole
bales can be fumigated in a vacuum
tank quickly and without danger to
the operators
The requirement of fumigation will
be in addition to the previous regula-
ton still in force, which requires thai
all mills using foreign cotton screen
their buildings completely and burr
all seed found in the foreign bales.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-'The Russian
armies show an increasing disposition
to reassume the offensive at many
points on the eastern front. They are
not only pressing attacks against the
Austrians in Galicia, put for the most
part are holding up the German rush
in midPoland.
The Russians also assert they have
thrown back the invaders near Svien-
tsyany, where the German cavalry cut
the Petrograd railway betyfeen DTinsk
and Wilma.
The Germans are battering the head
of the bridge near Dvinsk, and in the
continued fighting the Russians are
apparently holding them in check.
Counting the captures in Galicia, the
Russians have lately been taking more
prisoners than losing.

night by Sheriff Coxwell, of this
place, who brought him to Leesburg

route home from Albany in an auto
mobile at what is charged was a very
high rate of speed.
1t is alleged that several persons
came near being struck by the car. An
effort was made to have the car in

LONDON, Sept. 16-The British
prize court has condemned and confis-
Gated the greater part of the Ameri-

the Norwegian steamers Kim, Alfred
Nobel, Blafornstjerne, Blfornson and
Fridland. The meat cargoes are worth
ten million dollars. The steamers
were seized last November
Sir Samuel T. Evans, president of
the court, in a lengthy argument said
these ships were carrying towards Co
penhagen thirteen times the amount
of food which under normal conditions
would be taken to that port. That fact
gave practically overwhelming assur-
ances that the goods were intended for
Germany, although it didn't prove con-
clusively that they destined for an
enemy OF Great Britain
He stated that the exports from
America to Copenhagen alone multi
piled twenty times, three weeks after

Sci PARATE STORIES.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 16.-The Geor
gia songbirds which inhabit Druid
Hills are gradually becoming tame
and no longer afraid of human beings.
The remarkable phenomenon is due to
the strict enforcement for several
years past of that rule that no bird
OF any kind may be molested in any
way in this most beautiful of residen-
tial parks, and the result is that hun
dreds of mocking birds, red birds,
thrushes and other sweet-singing birds
find it happy place of refuge.
Known as the millionaire colony"
of Atlanta, because it abounds in SC
many handsome residences and spac-
ious grounds, Druid Hills has unusual
natural beauty as well as that which
the landscape gardeners have added
ALI wild plants and wild flowers and
shrubbery are protected Just as the
birds are, and it is against the law
to pick wild flowers ar leaves of any
