Adrninisf ration. — In accordance with the act of 1869 the governor 

 appointed John S. Newberry chief geologist and E. B. Andrews, Ed- 

 ward Orton, and John H. Klippart assistant geologists. These nomi- 

 nations were afterward confirmed by the senate. In addition the 

 following-named persons were employed as local assistants: Rev. H. 

 Hertzer, M. C. Read, Frederick Prime, jr., W. P. Ballantine, G. K. 

 Gilbert, Andrew Sherwood, R. D. Irving, W. A. Hooker, W. B. Pot 

 ter, Henry NeAvton, and H. A. TMiiting. Rev. H. Hertzer was paid 

 from the chief's salary as compensation for the reason that his time 

 was but partially devoted to the work. Messrs. Read, Prime, and Bal- 

 lantine received small salaries during the working season, while the 

 rest of the gentlemen served for their expenses. The corps organized 

 and was ready for work by June 1. Mr. Klippart, for many years 

 secretary of the State board of agriculture, had charge of the agricul- 

 tural department, and Prof. T. G. Wormley, one of the ablest analyti- 

 cal chemists in the country, of the purely chemical work.
