Professor Schramm Has Harrowing
Experience on Expedition lo Mexico
Following the rough and un
surfaced bed of the meandering
Sonora River and fording its
treacherous" waters, in many places
filled with quick sand, 72 times in
30 miles of travel was the danger
ous and harrowing experience of
professor E. F. Schramm, head of
the geology department of the
University of Nebraska, in his re
cent expedition into the northern
province of Sonora, Mexico.
Mr. Schramm has made pre
vious trips into Central America
and Mexico, where in the past few
years he has been conducting a
series of extensive geologic sur
vevs. Roads are a thing unknown to
this particular province, Mr.
Sch nm explained, and are rough
and rocky, -necessitating slow
travel, usually taking from six
to seven hours to cover To miles.
