INFORMATION BUREAU
IS GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
RECOGNIZED BY PEOPLE
IN ALL PARTS OF COUNTRY
CORRESPONDENTS.

The recognition by citizens general
ly that the geological survey is bur-
eau of information as we'll as field
service has gradually placed upon 1t a
large burden of work as we'll as of re-
sponsibility. The amount of corre-
spondence involved in performing this
public duty may be indicated by the
fact that approximately $4,000 letters
of inquiry were handled in the differ
ent scientific branches of the survey
last year The scope of these inquir-
les is not less noteworthy, for they
range from requests for information
concerning the geology of every part
of the United States or the water sup
ply, both underground and surface, of
as widely separated regions as Alaska
and Florida, or for engineering data on
areas in every state in the union, to
inquiries regarding the natural re-
sources of foreign countries especial
ly those of Central and South Amer
lea.
Enters New Field.
The changes In the worlds trade In
metals and other mineral products
curing the last year brought to the
geological survey a new opportunity
for special service. The inquiries con-
corning possible sources of this or that
product began early in August
and the secretary of the interior gave
to the public an interview outlining
the expected developments in the min
eral industry. His statement was fol-
lowed by special press bulletins issued
by the survey on the more important
subjects. In September, 1914, how
ever, the demand for authoritative in
formation had become so lively that
bulletin-"Our Mineral Reserves"
bulletin 599)-was quickly prepared
and issued. In this publication the
whole subject of the country's ability
to meet the emergency demands for
was summarized and the
survey offered to serve as an agent in
