The Preservation of the Falls of St. Anthony
The Falls of St. Anthony are on the Mississ ippi River, about 2000 miles above its mouth. The thriving city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, occupies both banks of the river in the vicinity of the falls, and the prosperity of the city is clue to the great water power, so easily utilized, furnished by the river falling 40 feet. The river-bed and banks at the crest of the falls are of limestone belonging to the upper magnesian. Under the bed of the river at the crest the thickness of the limestone is only 11 feet.
