It was not the purpose of the survey to
locate mines, but tbe result of Its labors
would prove of great value to prospectors
for minerals, es it could be seen st a glance
at the maps what the formation of a given
territory was. and. with a data furnished.
work could be intelligently carried on,
such niapa would be of practical use, and
of treat value to the Investor, mining men,
and all others Interested In we develop
ment of the country
It was proposed to advance tbe work In
Oregon, Washington, and Idaho rapidly as
nossible. Tbe coal lands would receive at
tention firat. Iron depot Its following.
Mr. H. M. Csks desired to know U sny
particular steps need be taken to determine
what work ahould first be done in Oregon.
Mr. W. B. kewbory believed that the Ne-
halem valley would 'prove an inviting Held.
It was tha opinion of many people tbat
large deposits of both ooal and Iron were to
be found there.
Mr. Weloott stated tbat that section cer
tainly would be given attention, U desired.
Tbe reausst should be put in some form so

Mr. Cake believed that the exploration of
tbe Nehalem country would prove of more
Interest than any other part of the state.
Tbere wae a prevailing sentiment tbat tbs
locality was rich in mineral deposits. A
line of railroad was proposed to pass
through the valley, and, from data now se
cured, there were nee prospects tor ootn
coal and Iron. Certainly the survey would
meet with the desire of tbe people of the
stste. - ;'
Mr. Wslcott snared those present, from
the feeling manifested, tbat the work would
be taken ap. and that the eoontry selected
would he examined most thoroughly. It
wss proposed to start the work In Oregon
and tbe only question waa where to com

Mr. Oliphent asksd the gentleman If tbe
matter eoold be facilitated by the Chamber
of Commerce tafclng up tbe matter, and by
resolution asking that the survey be mode
Mr. Walcott thought tbat It would, end ad
vised that the proper resolution be framed
and sent to the members of the Oregon del
egation at Washington, who would then
lav the matter before the interior nepers
meat It would thus be brought to his
notice. He would do all possible to hasten

At the conclusion of his interesting re

That we visited the offices of the clerk.

efficient o (Boers, their books snd accounts
neat and well kept. We found from the
Investigation that we made that the county
court is carefully iapectlng the books and
accounts of tbe sheriff, clerk and treasurer,
and did not deem It necessary for us to go
to tha expense of employing an expert to
expert the books and accounts of the
officers. We did, however, maxe en ex
amlnation of the fees collected by the clerk
and sheriff and found that their account
of fees are properly kept, and that tbe fees
collected by these officers are being turned
over to the treasurer and receipted for by
him as required by law,
And now, having completed our labors,
