Those marked estimated, or near, are cases in which the actual junction was not seen, 

 but was calulated from the thickness of the Trenton limestone above. 



Water Power. The great interior and the west arO' laboring un- 

 der a serious error which intelligent action may remove. They pro- 

 duce vast quantities of crude material needing manufacture. This 

 bulky and heavy matter they transport a thousand miles to be worked 

 ujj. They likewise produce immense quantities of food. This they 

 carry the same thousand miles to feed those who manufacture the 

 other material. They then bring back the manufactured article mur- 

 muring at its expense and praying for cheap transportation. More 

 simply and truly stated, the situation is this : At one end of a thous- 

 and miles is a man aud his tools ; at the other end is the heap of the 

 crude material he is to manufacture, the bulky food he is to eat, and 

 the market for his products ; and the problem is. Shall the mountain 

 go to Mohammed or will Mohammed come to the mountain? An 

 intelligent practical answer to this will go some way toward solving 

 the problem of cheap transportation. Agriculture, mining, and man- 

 ufacture form a triangle of industries that are mutually dependent, and 

 the nearer they can be brought together the more successful will 

 each be.
