DATA FROM ANNUAL REPORT WORK OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY DURING YEAR 1909 Land Restored to Agricultural Entry After Being Withdrawn Pending Investigation As to Mineral Character—Alaska Work—Water Resources The thirtieth annual report of the Director of the United States Geological Survey, just issued, shows that important work was done by the survey in land classification. Large areas of land that had been withdrawn from entry pending determination of its mineral or non-mineral character were restored to agricultural entry after geological examination, and selling prices were placed on a million and a half acres of coal land. On information furnished by the Survey lands available for water-power sites on 26 rivers in Western States were withdrawn from entry. Nearly 24,000 square miles were topographically surveyed during the fiscal year. About 36 per cent of the country has now been mapped in detail by the Survey's topographers. The work on maps for an atlas of national forests to be distributed by the forest service was continued. Thirty folios covering as many national forests were finished and 19 others were nearly completed. Work on the one-to-a-million scale map (16 miles to the inch) of the United States was begun during the year. This will form a part of a world map that is now in preparation under international agreement between several countries. A conference on this map was recently held in London, where members of the survey represented the United States. Topographic and geologic surveys maps and its reports on underground waters and mineral deposits; the more technical interests are concerned with reports on statistics of mineral production and on technology, including reports on tests of fuel and structural materials and methods of preventing mine accidents; educational establishments require many reports which, superficially considered, do not appear to be so intimately related to industrial life, but which in the end may be of economic importance. SURFACE WATERS Analyses Made of Them in Various Parts of Country Waters taken from rivers and the lakes in the United States have been examined by chemists of the United States Geological Survey during the last four years to determine their mineral content, and especially their fitness for use by factories and for domestic purposes. The first report on this work, prepared by R. B. Dole, has just been published by the Survey as Water-Supply Paper 236, which contains tabulated statements of the results of analyses of waters taken from rivers and lakes east of the one-hundredth meridian. This paper is the first of a number of reports on an exhaustive series of analyses made by the Survey to determine the quality of the surface waters of the United States. It gives the methods of analysis, the location of the sampling stations, and the analytical results, the demand for the data having been great enough to justify the publication of the analyses before their detailed discussion. Another report soon to be issued will discuss the analyses in relation to stream flow, climate, forestation, geologic environment, pollution and other factors. Still another re- Work on the one-to-a-million scale map (16 miles to the inch) of the United States was begun during the year. This will form a part of a world map that is now in preparation under international agreement between several countries. A conference on this map was recently held in London, where members of the survey represented the United States. Topographic and geologic surveys were made in Alaska of areas exceeding 4000 and 5000 square miles, respectively. Two of the copper-bearing belt extending from the head of Copper River to White River was covered by a reconnaissance survey. Gold deposits, coal beds, and water resources of parts of Alaska were also studied, and statistics were collected to show the mineral production of the Territory. Geologic work was done in all parts of the country, the investigations including the iron ores of New Jersey, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee; the lead and zinc deposits and industry of the Mississippi Valley; the coal beds of Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming; the oil fields of Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nevada, and California; the peat deposits of Maine; the phosphates of Idaho and Wyoming; deposits of mica, manganese, copper, tin, tungsten, and tantalum in Western States; mineral paint ores in Pennsylvania; granites in New England, and building stones in Arizona. Mining districts in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon were investigated and contested mineral claims in national forests were examined. Co-operation with many States in geologic work was continued, and progress was made on the geologic atlas of the United States. Work was continued on the general geologic map of North America which is being compiled in cooperation with Canada and Mexico. It is expected that this map, with an accompanying descriptive text, will be published during 1910. The scale is 16 miles to the inch. A monograph on the Lake Superior region was completed during the year and will be published in 1910. Stream gaging at 829 stations and examinations of underground water resources were made during the year and cooperation with many States in these investigations was continued. The Survey's tests of fuels and building materials during the year included tests of cement in the lakes of analyses made by the Survey to determine the quality of the surface waters of the United States. It gives the methods of analysis, the location of the sampling stations,and the analytical results, the demand for the data having been great enough to justify the publication of the analyses before their detailed discussion. Another report soon to be issued will discuss the analyses in relation to stream flow, climate, forestation, geologic environment, pollution and other factors. Still another report will consider the quality of the waters in special reference to their availability for industrial use, and a paper on chemical denudation in the United States will discuss aqueous erosion in relation to geologic time. The report may be obtained without cost by applying to the Director of the Geological Survey at Washington. MACMULLAN WANTS BONDS Taxes Just Paid In, and No Money to Repair Bridges D. A. MacMullan, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, has made public the following statement at Santa Ana: "With nearly all the bridges and some of the roads in such bad shape since the recent storms, and all the money available insufficient to even put our bridges in first class shape, in fact only enough for patching,now is the time for us to forget our differences and get down to business. Let us hold an election for bonds for bridges and roads together, for the most skeptical person cannot deny their necessity at this time. The appointment of a committee of men of sterling integrity, that would insure the honest and judicious handling of the money. The co-operation of the various civic bodies; the merchants,the farmers,the automobile men and all the papers, should join in and give their opinions at the polls under this plan, as the election could then be held at a minimum cost,and we can at least settle the question cheaply. Let a petition be filed and the board of supervisors select a committee of such men as M. M. Crookshank of Santa Ana, C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, W. H. Burnham of Orange—all men of ability, who will serve gratis if the bonds fall to carry. Then the supervisors redistrict the county just for this election to make the least number of polling places; let interested parties volunteer their services as election officers at each polling place" It is impossible now that represent accurate distribution of the output States of origin, but statements may be placed concerning the leading States.

According to the Business imports of pigs,bales and old copper for ten months amounted to and the copper content and regulus imported at 708,482 pounds. If this December were equal monthly import for ten months the amount owing to the United States was about 311,800,000 against 218,705,487 pounds. Stocks of refined copper United States show an increase over those of but the accumulation of most part during these years. European shares have increased rather throughout the year and were probably nearly on January 1, 1909. The has remained close descriptive text will be published during 1910. The scale is 16 miles to the inch. A monograph on the Lake Superior region was completed during the year and will be published in 1910. Stream gaging at 829 stations and examinations of underground water resources were made during the year and cooperation with many States in these investigations was continued. The Survey's tests of fuels and building materials during the year included tests of cement used in the construction work of the Panama canal, tests of materials required for use in more than 300 public buildings, and the preparation of specifications for making purchases of coal for government use. The work of the Survey designed to prevent mine accidents included investigations of conditions in mines, tests to determine proper explosives and their use, investigation of explosive mine gases, and tests of mine lamps and rescue apparatus. The Survey's work of collecting statistics of mineral production was continued with improved results and a readier cooperation on the part of the producers. Separate chapters on particular products were published in pamphlet form and it is expected that the complete report for the calendar year 1908 will be ready for distribution before the close of 1909. During the year 134 books and pamphlets and 289 maps were published. The Survey's maps now comprise nearly 1800 sheets of the standard size, covering that many separate areas in different parts of the country. Nearly a million publications were sent out, of which about 450,000 were sold. Popular demand is largest for the Survey's topographic- Let a petition be filed and the board of supervisors select a committee of such men as M. M. Crookshank of Santa Ana, C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, W. H. Burnham of Orange—all men of ability, who will serve gratis if the bonds fail to carry. Then the supervisors redistrict the county just for this election to make the least number of polling places; let interested parties volunteer their services as election officers at each polling place and all owners of automobiles donate their time and machines, carrying people to and from the polls, and the bonds will carry. Put your issue for, say $60,000 for bridges and $340,000 for roads, at a low rate of interest, and make bonds of small denomination, and if regular bond buyers won't buy them we can have a popular subscription and those who can afford could buy them, although the board of supervisors has always been assured that bonds of this county would sell in preference to others, as the county is so rich in proportion to its present indebtedness, which is exclusive of schools, about $60,000 debt to $30,000,000 valuation. This is just a suggestion, though two of the parties mentioned above have agreed to serve gratis if so appointed. Any committee or body of citizens interested who will put their shoulders to the wheel and help this along can have a meeting with the board of supervisors for further discussion and arrangement. Respectfully, D. A. MacMullen, Chairman Board of Supervisors. We have something special to offer buyers of buggles. Wm. F. Lutz Co., Santa Ana.

The mines and the state country are now in a position to output of 1910 last of 1909. So many factors enter into the determination output that any forecast of the coming year may would be without value.

The figures, which have been collected by B. S. Butler, of the Survey, represent the actual production of each company for eleven months and include an estimate of its December output. The November figures for a few companies were not available and these companies furnished estimates for the last two months of the year. According to the statistics and estimates received the output of blister and lake copper was 1,117,800,000 lbs as against 942,570,721 lbs. in 1908, an increase of over 18 per cent. This not only exceeds the increase of any previous year but it is considerably greater than the total yearly increase since 1904. It is impossible now to give figures that represent accurately the distribution of the output among the States of origin, but a few general statements may be positively made concerning the leading copper-producing States. Montana shows a large increase, again taking first rank, a place lost to Arizona in 1907. The production in Montana will nearly equal or will possibly exceed the state's previous record output, 314,750,000 lbs made in 1905. Arizona holds second need to study and aid in advancing aviation throughout California. The officers are Mrs. John D. Reavis, president; Mrs. Dick Ferris, first vice-president; Mrs. Sidney Lee Grover, second vice president; Miss Jessie M. Flint, secretary; Mrs. G. H. McGinnis, treasurer. Already the membership includes a number of enthusiastic women of Southern California. As the first thing to do they have taken hold of important arrangements to further the Los Angeles International Meet which will be held from January 10 to 20, 1910. Through their association an aviation day at the top of Mt. Lowe has been arranged with the Pacific electric railway company for January 5 and excursions will be run up and down the incline railway at reduced rates. A large part of the proceeds will be turned over to the aviation week executive committee to help defray expenses. The women of the club are conducting booths in the large department stores of Los Angeles to boost the meet and to sell tickets for the Mt. Lowe benefit trip. They have begun an active campaign among the other women's clubs to see that they realize the importance of the aviation meet and what it means to all of Southern California. After the great aviation contests, the women's aviation club will take up systematically the study of the conquest of the air and will keep up to date in all respects with the program of the science and art of aerial navigation.

Peters has our thanks for the following interesting statement of business transacted in his office during the past ming and Oregon had each a free-use cut of between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 feet. The remaining National forest states follow with lesser amounts. "Of the timber cut under sales, Montana furnished nearly 36,000,000 feet, or twenty-four per cent; Colorado, 44,000,000 feet, or thirteen per cent; California, 39,000,000 feet, or eleven per cent; and Idaho 35,000,000 feet, or ten per cent. Those amounts correspond to the following percentages of the estimated stand of National forest timber in each state: For Montana three-tenths of one per cent; for Colorado four-tenths of one per cent; for California four-one-hundredths of one per cent; for Idaho one-tenth of one per cent. In other words, the cutting is far within the growth capacity of the forests." NEW REGISTRATION LAW Changes Made Necessary by Primary-Election Act The new registration affidavits have been received by County Clerk Williams and the registration for the 1910 election is in order. There is considerable change in registration laws, a number of which have been caused by the much discussed new primary law. Under the provisions of the new form the voter who registers must declare in his affidavit of registration to which party he intends to affiliate at the ensuing primary election. In order to vote at the general election in November, 1910, every voter must register this year before 40 days previous to the election day,and if the new register is not completed within the time at which the primaries are held, then the great register used at the preceding general election will be used. The August primary election will be held at the legally designated poll- It is impossible now to give figures that represent accurately the distribution of the output among the States of origin, but a few general statements may be positively made concerning the leading copper-producing States. Montana shows a large increase, again taking first rank, a place lost to Arizona in 1907. The production in Montana will nearly equal or will possibly exceed the state's previous record output, 314,750,000 lbs made in 1905. Arizona holds second place, with a slight increase over the 289,523,000 pounds produced in 1908. Michigan also exceeded the 1908 production, 222,289,000 pounds. Large gains were made by Utah and Nevada, and California also increased its output considerably. Statistics showing the output of refined copper by plants in the United States are not now collected by the Geological Survey. Figures published by the Copper Producers' Association indicate that the production of marketable copper from all sources, domestic and foreign, for the first eleven months of 1909 will exceed 1,400,000,000 as against 1,161,176,085 pounds in 1908. Statistics showing domestic deliveries for the first eleven months of the year, as given by the Copper producers' association, indicate a consumption of copper in the United States considerably greater than the previous record consumption—682,000,000 pounds, in 1906. Estimates based on figures for the first eleven months, published by the Bureau of Statistics and also by the Copper Producers' Association, indicate that the exports of copper will surpass by several million pounds the exports for 1908—661,876,127 pounds. According to the Bureau of Statistics, imports of pigs, bars, ingots, plates and old copper for the first eleven months amounted to 213,100,281 lbs and the copper content of ore matte and regulus imported amounted to 74,708,482 pounds. If the imports for December were equal to the average monthly import for the first eleven months the amount of copper entering the United States for the year was about 311,800,000 pounds, as against 218,705,487 pounds in 1908. Stocks of refined copper in the United States show a considerable increase over those of January 1,1909, but the accumulation occurred for the most part during the first half of the year. European stocks, however, have increased rather uniformly throughout the year and at the close were probably nearly double those of January 1,1909. The price of copper has remained close to 13 cents conquest of the air and will keep up to date in all respects with the program of the science and art of aerial navigation.

MONAGHAN FILES COMPLAINT Accuses Sugar Factory Contractors of Divers and Sundry Misdeeds Frank Monaghan, a stockholder in the Southern California sugar factory erected last year two miles south of Santa Ana has brought suit against the Case, Hinze Co., builders of the sugar factory on South Main street. The plaintiff asks that judgment be entered setting aside the acceptance of the factory by the sugar company, alleging that the acceptance was secured through misrepresentation on the part of the contractor's representatives; that the shares of stock now standing on the books in the name of the Case, Hinze Co. be cancelled and restored to the treasury of the company, and that the Case, Hinze Co. be compelled to complete and equip Stocks of refined copper in the United States show a considerable increase over those of January 1, 1909, but the accumulation occurred for the most part during the first half of the year. European stocks, however, have increased rather uniformly throughout the year and at the close were probably nearly double those of January 1, 1909. The price of copper has remained close to 13 cents throughout the year, the average monthly New York quotation for electrolytic copper being a little under 13 cents. Mine development has been active in most of the important camps, but especially so in the deposits of disseminated ore in Arizona and Nevada. The mines and the smelters of the country are now in a position to make the output of 1910 larger than that of 1909. So many factors, however, enter into the determination of the output that any forecast of production of the coming year made at this time would be without value. AVIATION CLUB Los Angeles Society Ladies Will Navigate the Air One of the novelties in the innumerable preparations for the Los Angeles Aviation Meet is the organization of the first aviation club in the United States by prominent society women of Los Angeles, Pasadena, and nearby cities. The Women's aviation club, as it is called, came spontaneously at a gathering of society people at the home of John D. Reavis in South Pasadena, but it has grown into a permanent women's club plan- July—Deeds 287, mortgages 154, chattel mortgages 30, releases 155, marriages 73.

CUT OF FOREST TIMBER California Third Among States Reporting Sales of Timber "The total cut of National forest timber during the year was nearly 460,000,000 board feet, of which over 100,000,000 feet were given away under free-use permits," says the Secretary of Agriculture in his last annual report which has just been made. The timber acquired under free-use permits was used by settlers,and by schools and churches within the forests. The Secretary says that the receipts from timber sales were about $700,000, and continues: "Free use of timber was heaviest in Idaho, with over 18,000,000 board feet, followed by Montana, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico, with amounts ranging from nearly 17,000,000 to less than 10,000,000 feet. California, Wyo- The plaintiff asks that judgment be entered setting aside the acceptance of the factory by the sugar company, alleging that the acceptance was secured through misrepresentation on the part of the contractor's representatives; that the shares of stock now standing on the books in the name of the Case, Hinze Co. be cancelled and restored to the treasury of the company, and that the Case, Hinze Co. be compelled to complete and equip the factory according to the contract, or that the sugar company complete the factory and take the cost and loss out of the value of the stock at par, or that the Case, Hinze Co. pay to the sugar company the costs of the work of repair. The complaint alleges that the factory instead of being a 600 ton plant is but a 400-ton plant, that the machinery is defective in many particulars. A conspiracy on the part of F. H. and F. B. Case to secure the acceptance of the plant is charged. It is charged that in order to show runs of 600 tons of beets cut daily,a large part of the juices of the beets were allowed to go into the sewer or waste ditch and that in order to make a showing on a twenty-four-hour run the clock was turned back to gain time. The defendants named are Fred H. and Frank Case and Henry W. Hinze, as co-partners under the name of the Case,Hinze Co.,and the Southern California Sugar Co.The plaintiff,Frank Monaghan,是 owner of fifty shares of stock,and he brings the action as a stockholder to protect the rights of the sugar company named as a defendant.
