In the spring of 1880 the Census of the Mineral Industries West of the Rocky Mountains was placed in my charge in addition to my duties as geologist, and occupied much of my time both during the period of field work in the Washoe District and since.

And in general such an erosion influences and is in turn influenced by the wh
