Egyptian Geological Survey.

For more than a year now the Egyptian Government has been carrying on an important geological survey in the mountains along by the Red Sea and in theSinai Peninsula. English geologists are engaged in the work, and their duty is to investigate the mineral possibilities of the country, report on matters of archaeological interest, draw maps, etc. The places, they explore have not, in some cases, been visited for perhaps 2,000 years, and they are finding many evidences of mineral wealth, including old emerald mines.
