SURVEY NEAR CHADRON
Twenty Members in Party That Made
Trip During Spring
Vacation.
Twenty students of geology made
an purvey during the spring recess at
Chadron, Nebraska. Prof. L. O. Why-
man accompanied the man when they
left Lincoln, Friday night. March 25.
After an all night ride they reached
Chadron and were taken by automo
bile fourteen miles northeast of the
city.
The men bunked in an old home
steader's shack, a driller's shack, and
box tent. Many difficulties were
encountered during the week and they
began at once when a blizzard swept
down on them and lasted for nearly
twenty four hours. The box tent was
nearly blown over several times dur
ing the storm.
The White river which only a few
hundred feet from the camp furnished
all the water nsed by the men. The
rooking was done by a cook engaged
from Chadron.
Prof. E. E. Schram joined the party
Wednesday evening and returned with
the men. During the inspection he
fell in the White river.
The men taking this trip covered
six square miles of land which they
mapped. Many fossils were found
and the structure and formation of
he land was thoroughly investigated
Final reports on the inveetigatior
will be made by the men before full
