j NEW METHODS OF PROSPECTING
Fox those who delve in the
gi’uiid seeking the treasures cl
4he earth—gold, coal, iron, silver
copper, lead, tin and so forth, there
seems to be encouraging news m
the recent reports of the “Geophy
sical Methods of Prospecting.”
Some time before we received
pamphlets relative to “Radio Pros
pecting.” The ‘‘Science of Geophy
sics” has also been more or less
looued into , but we didn’t pay a
great deal of attention for the rea
son that we haven’t been able to
find, until recently, any government
reports on the new “sciences.”
In a pamphlet to hand in the
mails the other day we learn that
the United States Bureau of Mines
has published, in Technical Paper
420, a treatise founded on Geophy
sics, a science based on, or dealing
with, new methods of prospecting
for subterranean deposits.
Heretofore radio geopliysic pros
pecting was classed with the divining
rod and the doodle bug systems of
locating minerals beneath the sur
faces. They were looked on a3
fakes, bum propositions and the
contrivances of nutty folk who had
weazened their brains flitting around
in the desert country looking for
something that didn’t exist. The.
government paper referred 10
Technical Paper 420) praeticallv
indorses the Science of Geophysics,
30 we are giving out what little in
formation we have and those who
are interested in prospecting may
learn more about it by correspond
ing with the American Society of
Geophysics, Lincoln University, Phel
an Building, San Francisco, Cal.
The method, in geophysics, isn’t
30 new either. For ’a number of
years back Dr. Emerich Herzog, a
famous mining engineer and geolo
gist, worked out the principles of
what is known today as the science
of geophysics. We understand that,
bulletin number one, which reviews
the methods based on scientific
principles, yet written in readable
manner, is now ready for distribu
tion for the cost of transportation,
ten cents. Later bulletins will be
distributed at actual cost of pro
duction. For those who trek thn
hills with gold pan and shovel,
there may be something of great
help in locating underground treas
ure.
Roughly, the methods are purely
a
electrical. Measured currents and
resistances to depths up to 600 feet :
are read and the resistances offer j
clues to what the ground contain, j
The finer parts and the details are
made knowd in the printed matter
relative to the science.
