NEW METHODS OF PROSPECTING

Fol those who delye in the grund seeking the treasures of the earth gold, coal, iron, silver
 copper, lead, tin and so forth, there Iseems to be encouraging news ln the recent reports of the "Geophy sical Methods of Prospecting.
 Some time before we received pamphlets relative to Radio Pros pecting" The Science of Geophy- sics' has also been more or less looked into but we didn't pay q great deal of attention for the req Ison that we haven't been able to find, until recently, any government reports on the new sciences" ! In a pamphlet to hand in the mails the other day we learn that fthe United States Bureau of Mines Ihas published, in Technical Paper APO, treatise founded on Geophy- sics, science based on, or dealing with, new methods of prospecting for subterranean deposits.
 1 Heretofore radio geophysic pros pecting was classed with the divining rod and the doodle bug systems of locating minerals beneath the sur faces. They were looked on as fakes, bum propositions and the contrivances of nutty folk who had weazened their brains fitting around in the desert country looking for something that didn't exist The government paper referred to Technical Paper 42O) practically indorses the Science of Geophysics, so we are giving out what little in formation we have and those who are interested in prospecting may learn more about it by correspond ing with the American Society of Geophysics, Lincoln University, Phel- an Building, San Francisco, Cal. The method, in geOphysics, isn't so new either. For a number of years back pr. Emerich Herzog, a famous mining engineer and geolo- gist, worked out the principles of what is known today as the science of geophysics We understand thal bulletin number one, which reviews the methods based on scientific principles, yet written in readable manner, is now ready for distribu tion for the cost of transportation. ten cents. Later bulletins will be distributed at actual cost of pro duction. For those who trek the hills with gold pan and shovel, there may be something of great help in locating underground treas ure.
