With the breath of spring comes to
nil of I'ncle Sam's Geolol igleal Sur
vey men the call of the vast stretch
es of sagebrush and short grass cotin-
'^try of the West; the mournains and
ylaifers of the backbone of the coun
try, and the sn iw-hound territory of
Alaska. During the winter months
they have*been busy at their desks In
the office at Washington, hut now the
reports and maps of the last field sea
son are completed and the geologists,
the hydrogtphers, the topographers
the animal and plant fossil experts,
.and other specialists are spreading
throughout the United States and In
to the vast silent places of AI as a a.
There are over five hundred of
these field men of science . The to
pographers will invade the remote
places in many western States that
are yet .unaurveyed, and will also
push their wa v Into unknown parts
Of Alaska. Among the newly dis
covered coal beds of 'Arizona. Utah
and other states the coal geologist
Will busy themselves in the land clas
sification work that has proved to
be of such great economic value
The topographers and hydrogrn-
phers are perhaps more widely trav
eled than any other of the field men,
for they are going to carry their map-
making and their study of water
power and lakes and streams Into the
Hawaiian Islands Phosphate b (is
are constantly being discovered and

fertilizer, no less than potash, is con
fidently hoped for in the great pre
historic lak^ basins of the arid re
glon, where vast beds of the mineral

doubtedly deposited in the early ages
of the world.

for adequate preparations are made
to overcome most difficulties. * ^ „
matter of fact, what seems to the
first year man daily advent tires, of:-
tlme too thrilling, become, after a
year or two of servic*', simply a part
of the days work, and not of suffi

_ who have gone through trials and ex

along the vast Continental Divide or
who have placed their maps i n th<
nntroddep sections of Alaska in the
hands of ^'explorers'' who come later,
can scarce be prevailed upon to ad
mit that they have ever had any ‘'ex
periences.”
