THE BIOLOGIST AND PROS
PECTING

The location of mineral deposits at
grass roots must grow more infreQuent
from year to year, especially in those
areas that have become the home or
hunting ground of intelligent men.
Much virgin territory remains, and it
will be many generations before the
most distant has been prOspected. But
it is not upon these distant localities
that our industries must depend Man
ufacturing industries do not quickly
follow to the source Of raw supplies.
dustrial centers, and the nearer those
supplies are to the industrial centers
already built the more valuable do
they become. Naturally, supplies close
at hand viii be the first to be exhaust
ed, and gradually the manufacturer
draws from known sources farther and
farther away, until the expense of
transportation becomes so great as to
threaten the industry. 1t is at this
stage that the prOspecOr loses his i'm
pOrtance, and the economic geOlOgist
has an opportunity to exhibit his skill.
no longer a question of following
stringers and indications to other veins
or bodies of mineral, searching with
small deposits as guide to larger
ones, but is a matter requiring an in
innate knowledge Of ore deposits and
the formations in which they occur.
The surface of the earth, that por
ton Of it which a prOspectOr may ex-
anime with care, is very limited por
ton of the whole. The surface of the
earth as known to the geologist, or
that portion respecting which he has
considerable knowledge, may extend
from daylight to several miles in
depth, certainly far beyond human
means Of penetrating with shafts or
boreholes.
1t is in the study of these buried
formations and the minerals that they
contain that the geologist becomes es.
peciaIIy useful to industry. The geol-
Ogist is not infallible-he is not work
ing with an exact science, or not with
one whose factors are all known. The
most that he can do is to guide, to re
duce the amount Of useless risk, and
increase the amount of profitable work.
Not only in oil but in the mining of
almost every mineral of economic i'm
pOrtance geological knowledge may be
used to advantage. Our mining
schools Of the future will probably
spend as much time in teaching how
to use geological knowledge as they
spend in teaching pure science, and
as we now have mining, metallurgical
and chemical engineers, our colleges
will soon be graduating geological en-
gineers.

Wilson s Drift
Into Socialism

and the Whole Party Is
Tuning That Way.

Washington, -. c.. April Owing
10 the action Of its leaders. the Demo-
cratic party has turned Socialist, in
the view Of former senator Joseph W.

unless the party repudiates its pres

son, IL viii become the Socialist party
in two years 1Ir. Bailey considers
that he has not left the Democratic
party but that the party has left him.
