make plants grow, and potash for
fertilizer. Scarcely q day passes that
some valuable information Is not
added to the store of knowledge about
what the country holds. A series OF
reports, emanating from the WASH
ington Headquarters. announces the
discoveries to the public. These re-
ports guide the r liners and prospect
ors In their own exploring activities,
and enable them to narrow down
their searches. They have helped to
add many millions Of dollars to the
developed wealth Of the American
people.
Many important contributions have
been made by the geological survey
In the fields Of petroleum discovery
and production. Here and there its
biologists have detected structural
conditions favorable to oil and gas
occurrence where the less methodical
prospector or wildcatter had found
none, and throughout the petroleum
world Its mapping Of structure, its
appraisals Of productive possibilities,
and It's hypothesis relating to petro-
leum origin and occurrence command
the highest respect. In the oil fields
Of the public domain and Of the In
dian wards Of the federal government
its petroleum engineers exercise sup
ervision over prospecting, drilling, and
production operations, gage the pro-
duction. and determine the royalties
due. Similarly, its mining engineers
supervise the operations OF the pros
pector and the miner of coal, phos-
plate rock. potash, sodium, oil shale,
and sulphur on government and In
dian lands, and exert wholesome in
fluence throughout the several indus
tries involved in the directions OF
safety, efficiency, and conservation.
Recognition Of the value OF rich
metals is so alluring that nearly
everyone who in the course Of walk
finds stone which gives back bright
glints to the sun. or reveals peculiar
coloring, wopAers whether he has
found gold or some other valuable
mineral. The result Is that hund-
; reds of specimens of rock annually
are sent to the survey with requests
for advice as to their nature and
value. These go first to general
expert, who can determine at glance
the nature Of most Of the samples.
Nine out of ever. ten either are not
especially valuable or are entirely
worthless, and the inquirers are adj
vised not to waste money on assays
or in attempts to develop a WORTH
less property. Those samples con-
corning which the initial examiner
has any doubt are referred to special
lists who are familiar with particular
minerals or the locality from which
the specimens come.
Production Of Large Scale Maps

factory for intensive use desires an

most general being mile to the inch.
When It Is recalled that the ordinary

'cipai Affairs to Control
Expenditures

To halt what he termed "illegal
spending" on the part of political SUBJ
divisions in the state, Charles Verret,
assistant attorney general, Thursday
proposed creation, by legislative
enactment, Of a department Of mu-
nicipal affairs"
Verret would place in the hands Of
the proposed department all control
of expenditures by various municipali-
ties and other taxing units in the
state.
The department would mot tell
counties and other similar units what
they could debut it would tell them
what they could not do in connection
with expenditure of funds" Verret
said.
He proposed that in the hands of
the department be placed power to
refuse counties, school districts OF
other civil governmental groups the
right to issue warrants or other types
OF promises to pay in excess Of their
lower to pay.
Verret said the number of illegal
warrants which have been issued by
counties Is astounding" He said he
believed many counties had taken ad-
vantage of legislative enactment
which allows counties to issue war
rants in anticipation of tax collec-
tions, for payment Of current debts
incurred in actual operation.
It was Verret's contention that
many of the counties had issued tax
anticipation warrants for purposes
which he termed illegal within inter-
probation of the law.
Payment by tax anticipation war
rants for road work and similar pieces
Of construction he termed illegal. II
was Verret'S contention counties had
no right to exceed their normal rev.
cnue for this purpose.
Under the proposed law, which
verret has not yet worked out COM
pletely, counties might enter into road
building contracts but the projected
department would have the power Of
withholding payment, unless the con-
tractor agreed to wait for his money
until payment was available. without
issuance Of anticipation warrants.
Many financial difficulties now be-
setting counties could have been
avoided by intelligent handling Of
funds and expected funds" Verret
claimed.

THE GEOLOGICAL Subway

THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Washington, D. c., Jan. 3.-Explor-
er, prospector, map maker, and
guardian Of mineral deposits-these
are some Of the roles that Uncle Sam
plays through the United States
Geological Survey. As q fact-finding
agency the survey is busy over wide
and far-flung domain. It explores
the wilderness and charts it as well
as the more settled areas. An out
standing example among its explor-
ing expeditions was that by small
boats through the Grand Canyon,
where extremely valuable results in
topographic mapping and in informa-
ton as to geology and the available
sites for great dams were obtained
only through the greatest daring and
fortitude on the part of its engineers.
Incidentally, during that expedition
the engineers had some shocks wholly
apart from the hazards they braved.
Though isolated in the depths Of the
canyon, through their portable radio
they learned of the death of Presi-
dent Harding within a few minutes
after it occurred and before it was
known to most people of the country:
likewise they heard Of the anxiety
Of their friends for their safety, be-
cause the supposed wreckage of one
of their boats had been seen farther
down the river.
The Geological Survey was created
by congress March 3, 1879, upon the
recommendation Of the National
Academy Of Sciences. It's first duties
were the classification Of the public
lands and examination Of the geo.
logical structure, mineral resources
and products Of the national domain
In more than half century of ex-
istence, other duties have been added
some Of which gradually grew to such
proportions that they were separated
and made the functions of still newer
agencies such as the bureau Of eth.
nology, the bureau of reclamation
and the bureau of mines.
The surveys headquarters, with
offices, laboratories, and other facili-
ties, Is In the Department of the In.

would cover nearly an acre Of ground.
Congress has authorized its compile
ton by 1914. About 100000 square
miles exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii
have been mapped, and the work has
been completed in ten states, the Dis
trict OF Columbia and Hawaii.
Aside from its value as base for
recording geologic information the
topographic map has come to have a
high value as a groundwork for all
engineering planning such as rail-
road and highway construction,
bridge building and the location Of
other edifices. It is the one great

work Of making and publishing these
maps has been carried on by the
geological survey for more than half
q century, yet 1t Is so huge task
that 1t Is far from ended.
Preliminary or progress maps of the
entire country, both geologic and
topographic, have been prepared and
published on small scales. Surveys
for complete information, on scales
adequate to show the necessary de-
tails, are going steadily forward. The
topographic mapping on the large
standard scales has thus far covered
less than half the country. When
