WHEN AMERICA
WAS YOUNG
VAST SHALLOW INLAND SEA AND
SWAMPS WHERE ROCKY
MOUNTAINS NOW STAND
The United States Geological Sur
vey has just published a report which
though technical, nevertheless em-<
bodies some interesting history of the
early ages of the North American con
tiuent. it tells of the rise aud fall ot
a portion of the continent millions of
years ago, long before the age of man,
at a time when strange beasts in
habited the country, when tho climate
was subtropical, and when a peculiar
swamp vegetation flourished, the re
mains of which W'ero converted inlu
the present greut coal beds of the
West.
Late in what is termed by geologists
• ‘ Curdoniferous time,” according to
W. T. Lee, the author of the report
(Professional Paper 95-U), there were
mountains in Colorado and new Mex
ico comparable to the present Rocky
Mountains. During the Triassic period
and much of the Jurassic, which fol
lowed, a time to bo measured in mil
lions of years, these mountains were
eroded away. Late in the Jurassic
period a wide area had been worn
down so near sea level that a slight
subsidence of the land allowed sea
water to enter from the Pacific Ocean
and spread over Wyoming, northern
Colorado, and eastern Utah. Near the
close of the Jurassic a slight uplift
expelled this sea. After some time
this area began again to settle and
the streams spread fine sediments over
the bed of the shallow basin lately
occupied by the sea and over the low
lying lands. This subsidence intro
duced the Cretaceous period aud cul
minated in the occupation of the region
by a sea which reached from Utah tc
the Mississippi Valley and from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean.
The subsidence was slow at first and
and the streams spread their muds
uniformly over an area extending from
New Mexico to Montana and from
l tali to Kansas. Only small areas of
the Rocky Mountain region were not
covered by them. In the streams,
swamps and bayous of this early Cre
taceous time lived huge reptiles; some
of them were 85 feet long and 20 feet
tall, with a bulk many times as great
as the largest elephant of today. By
the close of Lower Cretceous time
the water from the Gulf of Mexico had
spread over the graded plain as far as
the present Kock Mountains. This
invasion of the sea was followed, ap
parently without great laps of time,
by a still greater invasion in tho Up

per Cretaceous epoch.
The first deposits of Upper Creta
ceous age— the Dakota sandstone—
were spread out uniformly over the
level plain, which then included the
whole area that was later pushed up
to form the Kocky Mountains. Over
those sands, which were laid down
along the advancing front of the son,
were deposited the murine sediments
us the sea moved- forward. in its
outers lived great numbers of ser
peut-iike swimming reptiles; and ovei
it soared pterodactyls, the fosil 10
mains of which show that they mens
ured IS feet from tip to tip of wings.
On its shores and in its waters sported
large diving birds, which still retained
the tenth inherited from their reptilian
ancestors.
. —_
On the shores of this sea, especially
along its western margin, great
swamps developed and in them grew
a variety of semitropieal plants, such
as palm and fig trees. The resulting
carbonaceous material which accumlat
>ed s peat was later converted into
coal. The sea did not attain its max
imum size at once. Probably at no
one time was the whole interior basin
under water. The advance of the sea
and the filling of the basin kept pace
with each other, so that sediments and
fossils which indicate nearness to
shore and coal beds which indicate
swamps abovo sea level are found ut
many positions from botom to top
of the Upper Cretaceous formations.
At the close of the Cretaceous period
notable changes were produced in the
geography of the region. The interim
throughout the Cretaceous period, was
now lifted; its waters were poured
buck into the oceans, and the moun
tains whose roots had been buried
were resuscitated. In some places the
erosion that followed removed from
these newly lifted mountains the Cre
taceous rocks that once covered them
and cut deep enough Into the underly
ing formations to obtain the pebbles
of older Tocks, which may now be
found in the lower part of the oldest
Tortiary beds. In other places the
Cretaceous rocks were not entirely re
moved. Beds that once lay 5,000 feet
'below the level of the sea were lifted
to form mountain tops that now
stand more than 13,000 feet above
sea level.
WISH TO BE LEFT ALONE
The proposed annexation by the city
of Juneau of that part of. the city
northwest, that has been agitating the
minds of everybody who will be ai
feeted, was discussed at a meeting
held for that purpose last Friday, ac
cording to a late report. Those out
side the city limits have expressed
their desire to bo left strictly alone as
they do not wish annexation to the
mother city. At that meeting a com
mittee was appointed to frame up
rules for tho purpose of organizing to
fight the proposal.
