Muddiest of Rivers.

The Missouri is the muddiest river in
the Mississippi Valley; it carries more
silt than any other large river in the
United States except possibly the Rio
Grande and the Colorado. For every
square mile of country drained it carries
downstream 3S1 tons of dissolved and
suspended matter each year. In other
words, the river gathers annually from
the country that it drains more tfan

Great Coal Reserves,

When the total production of coal In
the United States, great as 1t is, Is COM
pared with the known tonnage In the
ground 1t sinks into relative insignifi
canoe. Thus, four recently described
coal fields 10 Colorado are estimated by
the United States Geological Survey to
contain more than II billion short tons
of coal, or three-fourths of the total
amount of coal that has been mined and
lost through mining processes in the
United States since the beginning OF the
industry. These are known as the coal
fields OF the Grand Mesa and the West
Elk Mountains, Colorado, and are dis
cussed by Willis T. Lee in Bulletin $40,
issued by the United States Geolog-
ical Survey. These fields constitute
parts of the Uinta coal region, in the
Rocky Mountain province, and lie partly
in west.central Colorado and partly in
eastern Utah. The part Of the Uinta
region described In the bulletin is divided
into four more or less distinct fields,
called Grand Mesa, Floresta, Mount Car
bon, and Crested Butte.
The Investigations described In the
bulletin extended over period of three
years and were made for the purpose of
ascertaining the geologic relations of the
coal. bearing rocks to other formations,
of classifying the land by legal subdivis.
ions as coal land and noncoal land, and
of determining the value of the coal land
by ascertainiDg the thickness of the coal
beds, the character and quality of the
coal, it's accessibility with reference to
topographic features, and it's location
with reference to lines of transportation
Because of the uncertainty in many
places as to the number of coal beds and
he still greater uncertainty as to their
variations in thickness, no close estimate
can be made of the quantity of coal in
the fields. However, computation
based on moderate estimates of thickness
gives l2,17S,2l4,O00 short tons as the
amount of recoverable coal In the Grand
Mesa and West Elk Mountain fields.
A copy of Bulletin $40 can be had on
application to the Director Of the Geo.
logical Survey at Washington, D. G.
