 Such forms are also charact- eristic of the valley of Ibex Creek, where along the west side a gravel terrace Or bench of hard pan, in part roughly stratified and in part of slide material, extends nearly to the head. The ter race is maturely dissected by the many tributary streams. which have cut a succession of gulches. The cutting of postglacial gorges and the lowering of it's bed by Texas Creek evidently resulted in a cuickening of erosion and marked downcutting by it's tributaries all along the line, leaving the old gravel depos- it's as terraces along the mountain sides. Along the Salmon River road up the hill from the Daly-Alaska camp, near Eleven Mile, there are exposed well-stratified clay and sand up to an altitude of about 450 feet. These depos- it's were probably laid down in marine waters and there fore indicate an uplift of at least 450 feet since the re- treat of the glaciers there.
 The valley of the West Fork of Texas Creek is bordered on both sides by steep, rug ged mountains, ranging in al- titude from 4,500 to about 6,400 feet. Up to attitudes of about 5000 feet the hills are timbered with hemlock and spruce of good grade, in quantity adequate for all mining and building demands. No examination was made as to the possibilities of devel- opingl water power, but the two Corges and the gradient of the main stream and trib- utaries suggest that sufficient for all needs could be develop ed.
 GEOLOGY The areal geology of the region east of Salmon River is taken from map by West gate; that shown of the reg ion west of the river was sketched in by the writer from distant views and is therefore only a rough ap- proclamation. The fact which it is desired to emphasize ls that the contact of the coast range batholith and the sedi- ments- to the west is not smooth and flowing" but ir- regular and that belts of metamorphosed andesitic turf, 1 graywacke, slate, and associ- 1 ated greensboro and argillite ! are found on the American 1 side of the boundary and af- ford many contacts near i which promising prospects have already been located l and near which others may 1 be sought. Many prospects other than those described 1 and located on the map have been staked but are not in- cluded here for the reason that in the short time avail able the writer was unable either to visit them or to get i accurate information about them.

AGED MAN STRUCK BY AUTO
MOBILE

Mr.. George w. Copenhaver. 10
years old, of Kearneysville, was
struck and knocked down when he
stepped from behind another car d.
rectlv in front of the delivery truck
of Lloyd Brothers, in Martinsburg.
Saturday morning. The machine
struck Mr.. Copenhaver, who was
marketing a wagon load of produce.
knocking him down. but leaving him
apparently uninjured. Carroll Lloyd
was Immediately called and offered
to take Mr.. Copenhaver to his home
at Kearneysville in car. The in
jured man insisted that he had not
been hurt. and that he would drive
his team on home himself, after
finishing his marketing. Mr.. LLOYD
had young Grim accompany the old
gentleman, in case of further
trouble, and they started out the
Charles Town pike for home. Here
the injured man was suddenly strick-
en- with dizzy spell and fell off the
wagon, landing on his face on the
road. He was taken back to the
Hospital Immediately, where it was
found that he had sustained a con-
cussion of the brain. beside face lac
erations. 1t is not believed that the
brain concussion will prove serious,
but the unfortunate man has been
rather delirious from the fall.

TWO SISTERS DIE IN AUTO
CRASH

Two sisters were killed and their
mother, father and brother injured
when an automobile, in which the
family was riding, struck parked
car on the Baltimore State road, near
Ridgeville, Md, last Sunday morn
ing. and upset The dead are Anna
May and Louise Spencer, aged 16
and / 8 years, respectively, daughters
of Charles P. A. Spencer, of Mount

erations about the head and shoulder
and body bruies. Mr. Spencer and

The family were on their way to

four miles east of Ridgeville, the car
of C. ]. Belts. of Akron, Ohio, going
east, became disabled and he stopped
the machine by the side of the road.
S. w. Kinsey, who lives near Mount
Airy. drove up about this time, park
ed his car about 1875 feet from the
disabled machine and went to the aid
of Mr.. Belts. A few minutes later
the Spencer car drove in sight, going
east. The attention of Mr.. Spencer.
who was driving, was evidently cen
tered on the mishap ahead, for his
car crashed into the parked machine
and upset. His two daughters
were caught under the upturned car
and their skulls crushed. One died
while being taken to the Office of a
physician in Mount Airy. The other
was rushed to the City Hospital in

GERS injuries had been dressed she
was taken to the hospital. Spencer

HAIL STORM DOES MUCH
DAMAGE.

The heavy wind. rain and hail
storm which passed over jefferson
county Monday afternoon about 8
o'clock did considerable damage. The
hail lasted for about fifteen minutes
and from general observations it is
thought the apples in some of the
orchards may be injured badly. Fol
lowing a path that struck the farms
of M. T. T. Perry, c. F. Wall, John
L. Burns and Engle Bros, consider
able damage was done by the wind
and hail. Trees were blown down
and telephone lines were wrecked.
While attempting to repair the
spouting on the house during the
storm. Littleton Brown. colored, who
IS tenant on the farm of Milton
Rouss, was badly shocked by light
ming and had to be removed to the
Charles Town General Hospital.
On the farm of Mr.. A. C. Link. be-
tween Dufields and Shepherdstown,
IL sheep that had taken refuge be-
meath tree was struck by lightning
and killed.
In Charles Town the hail did un-
told damage to gardens. Late corn,
beans, tomatoes and other vegetables
was literally cut to pieces. In one
garden we noticed a sweet potatoe
patch that was cut so clean of its
foliage that it looked as If a lawn
mower had been run through it.
