GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
An Important Work to be Commenced
at Saratoga and Laramie.
Laramie Boomerang.
Fiank Tweedy, of the United
i States geological survey, accom
panied by his assistant, James Mc-
I Farland, is in the city awaiting in
structions from Washington to
i commence work upon the topo
; graphy of this section of country.
Air. Tweedy is not doing the geo
logical work proper but will pre
i pare maps of the topography of
I the country, showing the contour
and grades, and the geologists will
go over the country later on and
place their work upon the maps.
They are about to start upon an
important work. There will be
three parties in the field and they
will work what they call the Lar
amie and Saratoga sheets, taking
in a section adjoining this city
and Saratoga of thirty miles
square. Mr. Tweedy expects to
get to work here by the first of
September. He is awaiting in
structions from Washington and
also awaiting his outfits from
Montana, consisting of twenty
head of stock besides a complete
camping outfit.
They are unfortunately missing
some delightful weather in which
to do their work, as they will have
!to cross directly over the moun
tains west of the city. They will
first establish a base line and then
triangulations will follow. Mr.
