Tennessee Valley Rich in Minerals
Resources Are Expected Furnish Raw Materials for Local Industries
and Basic Ingredients Of Fertilizers.

Knoxville. One part of the valley
has been rendered desolate by the
fumes Of sulphuric acid from copper
mining-a catastrophe which will be
overcome by new processes. There Is
iron Of a high grade In the Blue
Ridge.
Altogether, it is the conviction of
the Tennessee Valley Authority geolo-
gists that the mineral resources Of
the region barely have been scratched.
Some of them, like the forests, have
been exploited. ruthlessly in the past,
or made the piaythings Of spectators.
Now the plan is to exploit them wise
ly-with the new possibilities opened
up by the prospect Of cheap electricity
for electro-chemica and electro-met-
allurgical processes-and for the bene-
fit Of the local people.
Besides studying the nature OF the
land for dam construction and for the
location of new deposits. the geolo-
gists have been enlisted to help solve
the agricultural problem. The light
limestone soil on the hillsides is a
ready prey to erosion. with the result
that the richest land in the Tennes-
see Valley rapidly Is being dumped
into the Gulf of Mexico by way OF
the Ohio and the Mississippi. If the
process were allowed to go to its ulti-
mate conclusion there would be no
cultivatable soil left. It has happened
hundreds Of times In the past, Maj.
Eckel says. but today, with the aid OF
mans carelessness, the process Is 60
ing on about 100 times faster than
during past geological eras.
Stream Flow Studied.
Another important Job Of the geolo-
gists is that of stream gauging at the
headwaters of the Tennessee tribu-
taries. At present 180 C. w. A. work.
ers are employed. These streams are
subject to great fluctuations in flow
from day to day and even from hour
to hour. Some of the rivers have been
known to rise from 80 to 40 feet in
day. Automatic, clock-operated
stations are being installed which
will keep continuous records for go
days, SO that the engineers can be
given a complete picture Of what
Is happening. The Tennessee has 81
major tributaries. each of which is
made up of numerous smaller streams
flowing out of the hills.
There is also the problem Of siltage
to be solved by the biologists. Mil
lions are being expended for the crea-
ton Of great artificial lakes. Yet in
a comparatively few years, it has
been determined, these could be
transformed into boggy morasses by
the soil wash from the surrounding
hillsides. This siltage must be de-
termined and checked by taking land
out of cultivation and binding it with
forests.

DENIES ROOSEVELT.
REbUKED IN TALK
Methodist Editor Declares
Inference of Attack Is
Unjustified.
BY the Associated Press.

A denial that he had delivered a
rebuke to President Roosevelt or had
impugned his character in q recent
Chicago speech was made in state
ment last night by Dr. Harry Earl
Woolever, editor of the National
Methodist Press, who declared there
was no justification for drawing such
inferences of an attack on the White
House.
He said that he urged support of
the Presidents efforts in behalf of
recovery, quoting from the speech:
Every citizen should be hoping
and praying for the success of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's administration.
Personally the President is a most
congenial, democratic individual The
speaker has never received anything
but the utmost courtesy from the
incumbent of the White House.
Lack Of Character"
President Roosevelt is not respon-
sible for the conditions of today, nor
is any other one individual. We are
all responsible. There is lack of
character in America"
DR.. Woolevers statement continued:
IT reviewed the disclosures in the
Senate concerning the lack Of integ-
rity and honesty as revealed by that
body in recent months, including
bankers and high Government Off :
cials.
Il spoke of Ogden L. Mills and
Andrew w. Mellon being ridiculed
for receiving large rebates on income
u-t,i OF
of the Treasury Department.
II pointed to the corruption re-
ported in the P. w. A. and the C.
w. A, saying that Harry Hopkins,
chief administrator of the c. w. A.,
had admitted that it had failed in
many places because of dishonest
administrators and dishonesty in
certain sections, even among small
town merchants who collected money
given by the Government for the
poor by boosting their bills and COL
lecting for goods they never delivered.
Then I said:
Dishonesty Top to Bottom"
"'There appears to be dishonesty
from the top to the bottom through
our national life and it is time We
all repented and commenced to
build Christian character such as
that which our forefathers builded
who founded this Nation
Referring in his speech to a news
paper report having to do with Mr..
Roosevelt taking a depreciation al
lowance on some property for tax
purposes, Dr. Woolever quoted him
self as saying:
''If this be a confession on the part
Of the President, may he take all OF
us down to the altar in confession,
repentance and seeking the new life"

The cliffs echo the ringing ham

on horseback, are pushing their re-
searches into the remote coveS OF
some of the oldest mountains on

rock masses are more than a half
billion years old, belonging to the So
called "Pre-Cambrian" ages, before

planet. The ancient hills are yield
ing slowly some of the mysteries
buried in their depths. There is
gold, silver and copper in the noun

other precious stones. There are

Light Is Mystery.
There are geological mysteries

ample, is the weird Brown Noun
tain light" in Western North Carolina,
a ball Of fire which has been re-
hably reported at intervals for the
past century atop one of the highest
peaks in the Blue Ridge. Some say
it is reflection from the copper COW
ers of stills, some that it is an op-
tical illusion due to distant head
lights of automobiles or railroad
trains. although it was reported be-
fore either of these were dreamed of.
The country people believe that it is
spirit demonstration and geologiStS
say 1t probably is natural geological
phenomenon which they cannot ex-
plain.
Much of the area in East Tennessee
itself is limestone and dolomite
region of very ancient formation. a
land of hills honeycombed with caves.
Of underground rivers and of the
curious formations known as sinks. "
These are deep valleys formed by the
collapse of the roofs of ancient and
long dry underground rivers. In the
