128 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF ALABAMA. 



5. BLACK WARRIOR RIVER TRIBUTARIES. 



At Clear Creek Falls, in Winston County, within a distance 

 of half a mile, there is a fall of over 100 feet, distributed as 

 follows : 



Rapids above Upper Falls in 100 yards 6 feet fall 



Upper Falls, about 45 feet fall 



Still pool for 275 yards 00 feet tall 



Lower Falls 27 feet fall 



Rapids below Lower Falls 30 feet fall 



No discharge measurements have ever been made on this 

 stream. It is thought best not to attempt to approximate its 

 flow by any water-shed rule, as the stream originates from big 

 springs. Actual discharge measurements will be made during 

 1902. 



Little Warrior, or Locust Fork, is an important stream on 

 which no surveys have been made. On December i, 1901, a 

 hydrographic station was established on this stream at Palos, 

 Ala., by Mr. R. C. McCalla, U. S. Assistant Engineer, and will 

 be maintained by him. 



Mr. B. M. Hall and his assistants will make a series of dis- 

 charge measurements at this station during 1902. The only 

 measurement so far was on January 18, 1902. The gage stood 

 at 0.85, and the discharge was 849 second-feet. 



There are other tributaries having shoals that can be devel- 

 oped, but they have not been examined.
