THE GEOLOGIST AND PROS
PECTING
The location of mineral deposits at
grass roots must grow more infrequent
from year to year, especially in those
areas that have become the home or
hunting ground of intelligent men.
Much virgin territory remains, and it
will be many generations before the
most distant has been prospected. But
it is not upon these distant localities
that our industries must depend. Man
ufacturing industries do not quickly
follow to the source of raw supplies.
Supplies must be brought to the in
dustrial centers, and the nearer those
supplies are to the industrial centers
already built the more valuable do
they become. Naturally, supplies close
at hand wil be the first to be exhaust
ed, and gradually the manufacturer
draws from known sources farther and
farther away, until the expense of
transportation becomes so great as to
threaten the industry. It is at this
stage that the prospecor loses his im
portance, and the economic geologist
has an opportunity to exhibit his skill.
With all visible ore exhausted, it is
no longer a question of following
stringers and indications to other veins
or bodies of mineral, searching with
small deposits as a guide to larger
ones, but is a matter requiring an in
timate knowledge of ore deposits and
the formations in which they occur.
The surface of the earth, that por
tion of it which a prospector may ex
amine with care, is a very limited por
tion of the whole. The surface of the
earth as known to the geologist, or
that portion respecting which he has
considerable knowledge, may extend
from daylight to several miles in
depth, certainly far beyond human
means of penetrating with shafts or
boreholes.
It is in the study of these buried
formations and the minerals that they
contain that the geologist becomes es
pecially useful to industry. The geol
ogist is not infallible—he is not work
ing with an exact science, or not with
one whose factors are all known. The
most that he can do is to guide, to re
duce the amount of useless risk, and
increase the amount of profitable work.
Not only in oil but in the mining of
almost every mineral of economic im
portance geological knowledge may be
used to advantage. Our mining
schools of the future will probably
spend as much time in teaching how
to use geological knowledge as they
spend in teaching pure science, and
as we now have mining, metallurgical
and chemical engineers, our colleges
will soon be graduating geological en
gineers.
VALUABLE COLLECTION
IS GIFT OF MORGAN
TO LONDON MUSEUM
LONDON, June 20 (by mail).—The
gift by J. P. Morgan of New York to
the Victoria and Albert museum of the
collection of stained glass which oc
cupied five windows of one of the cor
ridors caused widespread satisfaction
here.
The collection is of peculiar in*°rest
to students and designers. The earli
est items of the glass are four small
panels of French glass of the latter
part of the thirteenth century. Two
of these represent scenes from “the
temptation in the wilderness.” The
subjects of the other panels, evidently
contemporary, are “The Miracle of the
Feeding of the Five Thousand” and a
scene from the life of St. Nicholas.
The rest is entirely of German and
Swiss origin, and provides material
for studying the distinctive develop
ment of art, particularly in the Rhine
valley, toward the close of the Gothic
period and during the Renaissance.
