COL. WHITE STILL BOOSTING.

Col. A. A. White OF st. Paul, who
two years ago purchased from the
government Will Horse island and a
large number of villa sites on Flat
head lake. was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there is no more
beautiful country lying out of doors
than that found along the shores OF
Montana's greatest lake and he has
backed this sentiment by investing a
large sum Of money there in real cs-
tate. With the opening of the now
branch of the Northern Pacific rum
ming from Dixon to Poison, it is prob
able THAT more cities of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming section OF Montana. 1t is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation OF summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will ap-
ereciatc this fact. Tho colonel al

deal to advertise the Flathcad country

WHITE SOX CONFIDENT. Coming Champions Leave for Final
 Dash for Pennant.

Chicago, Ill.,, Sept. 14-Eight games in the lead, the Chicago Amer jeans left last night for Detroit to start their final drive for the pennant there today. The club will return for a game with St. Louis here Sunday and then start East for it's final games of the season. The players are confident of beating Boston.
 The schedule of the Boston Amerl- cans was heightened by two games last night when MT. Johnson, presi- dent of the American league. gave permission for the playing of two postponed games that it was thought would not be staged. One of these games was scheduled at Washington and the other at Detroit. By MT. Johnsons permission they will be played at Boston on date yet to be determined. The local Americans have sixteen games to play.

and finally over the bluff at Queen ston, Ont, where Niagara Falls was born. Names have been given by geologists to the successive lakes that submerged this area, and an inter eeting and complicated history has been disciphered. The unraveling of the history of these positions of the ice fronts and the elevations of the land is a work of deductive reason ing which has occupied the minds of geologists for many years and com pared with which the exploits of the renowned Sherlock Holmes are those of an immature schoolboy.
 A recent publication of the United States Geological Survey. department of the interior, the Detroit folio of the Geologic Atlas of the United States. presents elaborate maps illus trations, and descriptions of all the geologic phenomena of this region. The author, Prof. William H. Sher- ger. of the Michigan State Normal College. Ypsilanti, gives the results of hi. own studies and of a long series of investigations by eminent scientists. The work was prepared in co-opera- ton between the Federal Survey and the State Geological Survey of Mich igan.
 Besides the interesting lake history the folio contains a discussion of the glacial period and of earlier geologic ages There are many rock forma- tions deeply buried beneath the gla- cial drift, as shown by the records of deep borings, one of which is moro than 4,O00 feet in depth. These rocks range from the Trenton limestone, of Ordovician age, to the Coldwater shale. of the Carboniferous. Among the mineral resources of the area are clay, sand, gravel, glass and securing sand, building and crushed stone, lime, cement, rock salt. brine, and ocher.
 Concerning the search for oil and natural gas in this area, Professor Sherzer says:
 There seems little justification for further heavy expenditures in this search. though the heavy flows of pocket gas from many places in the Antrim shale will probably continue to arouse false hopes and to stimu- late unwise expenditures. If this pocket gas, which at times gives pres- sures exceeding 100 pounds to the square inch, were confined it could be utilized. It has. in fact, been used for years in sec. 25, Southfield Town ship, where the original pressure was 37 pounds to the square inch. The supply from each well will be ex- hausted sooner or later. but new wells can be put down or the old ones caa be deepened'

Between this outer beach and the river are no less than 12 dis tinct shore lines marking lower stages of the lake waters. One of them, the Elkton shore line, passes through the city just north of the Grand Cir GUS and Madison Avenue at an ele- vation of about 615 feet above the sea; one of the lowest, the Rouge shore line. is near the Union Station. The outlet of the lake was at first past Fort Wayne to Wabash River. Changes in the positions of the great ice lobes and in the elevation of the land later shifted the locations of the outlets northward and westward across Michigan through the Grand River valley, then eastward through the Mohawk valley to the Hudson.
