Important appropriation for tho geo
logical survey carried hy tho sundry
ulvll bill, nnd unless the senate in
creases theso items, mining, Irrigation
and lumbar Interests will feel the effect
of tho homo legislation. In nil $f)40,
000 has been cut off tho geological sur
vey appropriation.
Tlio government was about to begin
the testing of mineral fuels of tho
West, Including tho coals and lignites
of tho Pacific coast. Little work of this
character can be done, for the appro
priation was only $100,000, when twice
that amount hat been annually appro
priated lor similar work in tho hast.
Instead of 1100,000 to carry on the
investigation of mineral resources, In
eluding black sand experiments at Port
land, tho homo grants but $50,000.
This will shut off the black sand work
entirely, when tha preeent special fund
is expended.
Tho appropriation for forest reserve
stirvoys is cut from $130,000 to $100,
000 and a cat of $00,000 Is made in
tho appropriation for topographic sur
veys, which form the basis of all the
geological survey work. Congress has
been Appropriating $200,000 annually
to gange streams preliminary to under
taking actual Irrigation work. This Is
cut to $100,000 and mesne material In
terference with irrigation surveys in lo
calities where new projects are contem
plated. Another cnt that will bo felt Is in
tho appropriation for the Annual report
on mineral resources of tho United
Mates. This will cut down the sub
ject matter of tho valuable government
document and will restrict tho Issue to
the Inconvenience ol the mining Inter
ests of tha country.

tion of tbo bnnd or finger, usually of
tho last Joint of tbo finger. Its Import
ance varies with tho seat of It; that Is

Involved. It may affect tho skin only,
tho tendons or sinews, or tbe fibrous
coverings of tbo bone tho periosteum.
A superficial whitlow, where tho In

bo extremely painful, but otherwise It
Is not n very serious matter; but this
