Peat Beds are Valuable. Ind'iawapolr.'', July '29. Willis S. HUtciiiey, state geologist is very much interested hi a reeernt dispatch from Wiushiivglon, 1). C n whidh the government's ' estimates of the value cf t'lie peat 1cJs in northern Indiana U placed at $?.8,0O0,000,00O. "I am not prepared to say," said Mr Blarchlev, fhat the estimate is tvx high or too low, but I lo know that the state (has an almost unbe iievaible wealfh in, äts peat beds, and that the industrial iwarW is just awiakeaning to the great advantage offered by the jeat fiekls. Two yc'ars ;;.g I issued a report setting forth ith v-flue of t'hes bc'd's. The repKrts cirUilatcrl skJWly at first, but now there is a brisk lena.nd for them, arod the dMiiand is growing.
