REPORT ON INVESTIGATION .Declare Wonders of Nature's Han diwork in Southern Oregon District Haw Proved to Bs Most Interesting. OR"EGON3AJT XEWS B fR E A V. vrashlngrton, Oct. IT. Grants Pass. In Southwestern Oregon, has been the scene of Jmptirtant field work In min ing geology by the Vnlted States Geo logical Survey during the past sea son. A Government party consisting; of J. S. riller and Profssor G. F. Kay. of the Geological Survey, and James Btorrs as collector and packer of fossils, with VT. G. Moore, of Grants Pass, cook for the camp, recently com pleted the season s field work on the Grants Pass quaarangle. and the geo logists have returned to Washington. U. C. The primary purpose of the investi gation is to determine the mineral re sources of the region and make them known to the general public, thereby contributing not only to the develop ment of the suite, but also to that of the whoSe country. The topographic map uf the Grants Fass quadrangle was published last Spring by the Geo logical Survey and formed the basis of the geological field work of this season. Visit Mining Region. With map In hand the geologists visited ail th-5 important mines and prospects and studied many .f the rocky leiTges outcropping in the region traversed. The observations were noted on the topographic map. and when the work Is completed a geolo gic map will be prepared showing the Jl5'rlbution of all the most Important l.lmis of rocks, as well as the location of the most important mines and pros pects, so as to Illustrate the particular rocks wirh which certain deposits are associated. It will be readily under rfnori th.nt sucji a map will show the distribution of the important mineral resources. The rocks of the region are largely iarneous. In ages past they were melted and forced up from the Interior of tlie earth. ilany of them were poured o'lt upon the surface as lavas, but mnv others, like the granite mass nbont Grants Pass, did not reach the surface. Ore deposits of the precious metals in the region examined are found associated chiefly with Igneous rocks. RnU of -t'enrcnt Indu.ary. Intermingled with these igneous rocks, which cover over two-thlrda of th.e Grants I'ass quadrangle. are messes of slates and sandstones with occasional limestone of which over 40 lrtires have be.n mapped. The great development of the cement industry has larorely increased the economic importance of limestone, and the fact that limestones are uncommon in "Western Oregon gives added interest to thoss In the Grants Pass region. Thy are nearest the railroad at Gold Hill and Jacksonville. It Is expected that a preliminary report of the Summer's work will be published next Spring In "Economic Oeolosy for 1!J8." at which time copies cm he' obtained free of cost by ad dresslug the Director of the Geological Survey at Washington. Survey Klamath Mountains. The Siskiyou Mountains of South western Oregon and the Salmon. Trin ity. South Fork, and Tallo Pally Moun tains of Northwestern California all belong to the same group to which some years asro Major J. W. Powell, then Director of the I'nited States Geological Survey, gave the name Klamath Mountains. It Is a very con venlerf and useful term and Is com ing into general use. The Klamath fountains are at the meeting point of the Sierra Nevada. Cascade, and Coast ranges, and have long been noted for Their mineral wealth. The copper belt of Shasta County, 'al.. Is In tne Klamath Mountains and gold is widely distributed. Platinum nd sorreo other rare metals are com mon and though not yet discovered In large ore bodies this region is one of tiie most important sources of that metal In the I'nited States. Work to Be Published. Tim survey of the Klamath Moun tains by the I'nited States Geological Survey was commenced some years aeo and portions of the border region hive been examined in detail and the results published in the Redding geo logic folio of California, and the Rose "burg. Coos Bay. and Port Orford folios of' Oregon. Copies of these can be ob tained for I.", cents each. The Riddles quadrangle was geologically surveyed a year aito and the folio is In course of prcpiiratlon. . The work on the Grants Pass quadrangle Is a part of the same genera! plan, and when com pleted will bo published in the form of a folio which will contain the usual JUmbr of topographic geologic maps with a text describing the geology. The only report yet issued by the Geological Purvey concerning the Kla math Mountains as a whole is Bulletin J9S. which, with numerous Illustra tions, describes their topographic de velopment. The bulletins of the Geo logical Survey may be had free of cost by application to the Director. Recent Geologic Changes. Geologic changes in general are ap parently more rapid at the present time on the Pacific Coast than any ivhere else in the United States. It 3ias been tiie scene of great volcanic eruptions In comparatively late geolo gic epochs, building up a range or monstrous peaks from lessen in Cali fornia to Rainier In Washington, and this activity continued down to the time when the "great pathfinder" made his memorable trip across the conti nent. Irtcieed. there are signs about some of the old fireplaces that Vulcan is still alive, for fumaroles of hot sul phurous gases, boiling mud lakes, and hot springs are common at various places along the Cascade Range. Uttle earthquakes are numerous, and big onrt. although relatively rare, are well known. Oscillations of the land with reference to the sea are yet jlalnly recorded In a series of elevated bluffs and beaches whre the Klamath fountains receive the beat of the ocean's waves. Locally sand dunes are advancing over tha land and covering' the forest trees. WORK OF UNITED STATES BC Lf-f&SU OM mm, A after m mm Belgian and Boy Force Mate and Captain Overboard.

On his way to Peru, to gather evi dence of the pirating of the achooner Nuevre Tigre of Callao and the murder of captain and mate by J. Mortelmans. a Belgian, and T. Skerret. a boy. who sailed the schooner Into the South Seas and lost her on a reef In Apamama La goon, in the Gilbert Islands. G. G. Alex ander Attorney-General for FIJI, ar rived by the steamer Aorangl yesterday from Suva. He has been retained by the Fijian government. In this case, and will leave In a. day or two by the Kos mos Line steamer bound for Callao. The schooner Nuevre Tigre was a Peruvian schooner, which left Callao in November of last year on a coasting voyage. She had as. cnew four people, the captain and mate, both Italians, and J. Mortelmans and T. Skerret, a boy. Two Charged With Piracy. Mortelmans and Skerret are now un der arrest at Suva. FIJI Islands, charged with the piracy of the schooner and murder of the captain and mate. According to Skerret, who says that he had no part In the crime, but was coerced Into aiwlstlng Mortelmans by threat of death, when the schooner was a day or two out from Callao Mortel mans, who was the cook, ran up on the deck with a meat-chopper and attacked the two Italians. They clambered Into the rigging. Mortelmans then went to his cabin and came back with a gun. The cap tain and mate were In the rigging, and Mortelmans shouted to them that if they did not Jump overboard he would shoot them. Both men. begged, but the Belgian was obdurate. Finally both Jumped. Gives Scliooner Sew Xame. Skerret said he tried to get In a small boat and leave the schooner but was prevented by Mortelmans. and was forced to assist In sailing the schooner. Neither Skerret nor Mortelmans knew much of navigation, and they had many difficulties. They started for the Islands of the Western Pacific, with what ob ject is not clear. The schooner was repainted. The name Nuevre Tigre was obliterated and that of White Rose substituted. For two or three months they drifted across the Pacific, finally bringing up In the Gilbert or Ellis Group, where the schooner went ashore on a reef in Apa mama Lagoon, where she now lies, high and dry. Traders who talked with the two be came suspicious, and the Superintend ent of the native police was Informed. He went to Investigate, with the result that he gleaned sufficient information to warrant the arrest of the two men. who were taken to Suva, where they have since been held In prison.

Superintendent Unanimous In Ap proval of This and Eighth Grade Diploma System. SALEM, Or., Oct. 25. (Special- That the compulsory education law and the eighth grade diploma law have been beneficial im keeping children in school is the unanimous testimony of school superintendents in the various counties of Oregon. Their statements In this re gard are included in their special re ports to Superintendent of Public In struction J. H. Ackerman regarding the general condition or educational affairs. Not one of the superintendents sug gests a single amendment to the compul sory education law, so it seems prob able that Oregon has one of the most ef fective statutes of the kind In the United States. Superintendent Savage, of Josephine County says that the compulsory educa tion law has brought the percentage of school attendance up to 97 per cent the past year. The following excerpts from the reports of two of the County Super intendents fairly represent the consen sus of opinion of all the Superintend ents upon various topics of importance In the educational system: Superintendent Jackson, Linn County The compulsory attendance law has been of great value. The district boundary board appointed one truant officer for the entire county. In each case o tru anrr reported the truant officer before serving official notice has made It a rule to write a personal letter to the parent demanding that the law be observed. As a result but few official notices have had to be served. The Eighth grade examinations are prov ing a strong Incentive In holding the larger pupils in school. Many of tho rural achools send Eighth grade graduates to the town high achoola as a result of this system. Superintendent Belt. Yamhill County general years ago I do not believe teachers fully appreciated the importance of a well planned course of stuay, but now there Is a constant demand for the new course of studv. showing to me that the teacher realizes It is essential to systematic work In the schoolroom. . X great deal of good has been de rived from the school board conventions. At these meetings T have emphasized the importance bf levying special school taxes, and today more than one-half ot the dis tricts are voting a special tax to carry on their schools. The teacher's salary will be raised when the standard of the - profession is raised. I appreciate the fact that the standard of our profession has risen very much in the last few years the result of wise legislation and the influence of our normal schools. " MATTERS FOR GRAND JURY October Term of Circuit Court In Linn County Important. ALBANY, Or., Oct. 25. (Special.) Judge George H. Burnett will convene the Oc tober term of State Circuit Court for Linn County In this city tomorrow. W'hile the docket Is not particularly important the term will probably be of unusual inter est because of the fact that the first grand jury In Linn County under the new law will be empaneled tomorrow. Rumors are current that matters of considerable importance will occupy the attention of the grand Jury. The Jury summoned for the term, and from which the grand Jury will be chosen is composed of a number of the leading men of the county and is as follows: D. H. Bodine, C. M. Burkhart, Daniel Erb.

The cost of Interments has been greatly reduced by the Holman Under taking Company. Heretofore It has been the custom of funeral directors to make charges for all incidentals connected with a funeral. The Edward Holman Under taking Company, the leading funeral directors of Portland, have departed from that custom. When casket is fur nished by us we make no extra charges for embalming, hearse to cemetery, outside box or any services that may be required of us, except clothing, cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a saving of $25 to $75 on each funeral.
