Can Find No Gold in Iowa.

In the annual report of the lowa geological survey, Prof. Samuel Calvin, state geologist, declares hopelessly absurd the idea that oil, gas or gold in paying quantities can ever be found in lowa. Prof. Calvin shows that the strata in lowa makes the existence of large amounts of these products impossible. He advises the public to waste no capital in a useless search for products that do not exist.
