Book Description
Excerpt from Geology and Mineral Resources of the Herscher Quadrangle Very little of the topography, except the bluffs of Kankakee River, is determined by the bedrock of the area. Nearly all the relief features are con structional by glacial agencies, but in the path Of the Kankakee glacial torrent they have been modified by running water and subsequently by wind. The greater portion of the quadrangle is occupied by a shallow basin between two glacial moraines (broad ridges of glacial drift), one on the southern edge and one in the northeastern corner. Nowhere is the topography rough, and the total difference in altitude between the highest and lowest points in the quadrangle is only about 210 feet. Pilot Knob, in sec. 2, T. 29 N., R. 10 E., is the highest point and stands Slightly more than 750 feet above sea level.

Book Description
Excerpt from Political and Commercial Geology and the World's Mineral Resources: A Series of Studies by Specialists The purpose of the accompanying series of studies is to shed light upon the vast importance of commercial control of raw materials by different powers, or by the citizens of those powers, through invested capital. The question of domestic and foreign governmental policies of the United States is closely involved. It appeared to many of us who were engaged (as all the authors of these papers were) in studying the mineral problems during the war, that our Government had never grasped the vast political significance of commercial domination, and especially of the control of mineral wealth; and that other more seasoned nations had done so, and thereby affected the interests of America and her policy very deeply, without her being aware of the circumstance. With the rapid increase of the world's population and the exploring and exploiting of the hitherto undeveloped natural resources, competition for this wealth has become and will still become keener. In past ages war, pestilence, and starvation held down the earth's population; and in the last few years all these grim spectres have returned in force, suggesting the possibility of a permanent return of the old primitive days. Nevertheless, modern science and organization, if not quenched by vast social disorders, will so safeguard life, as in recent times, that the world is in a fair way to become crowded. All of us, like Germany, yearn for our "place in the sun, '' and our share of comfort and power. Of all the fundamental necessities for this, nothing is so much in the nature of a fixed and unmultipliable quality as the metals; they constitute the basis and foundation of our modern civilization and power over man and natural forces. Other raw materials arc of vegetable or animal origin; they propagate and duplicate themselves in successive incarnations according to the law of life; they are born in some magical fashion of air and water, with a minimum of the earth, and they return their loans faithfully to air and water and earth with the passing of each generation and the dawning of a new. There is the hint of such a law of growth in the mineral kingdom, but it is so vastly slow that the evanescent animal man has no personal interest in it; for all his purposes and by all his standards of measurement it is inert, and these riches, once dug and used, will never again be available. The treasures of commercially valuable ore-deposits have been hid by nature whimsically throughout the earth, here and there, by no rule of geography or latitude, and with a great disregard of equality.
