, G.. F. Becker, OF the California Stat
University, in a paper recently read beior

that the formation of that part Of tn

, at the depth of 1900 feet, has run int
; the syenite, or plutonic rock. Above th
average depth the cuttings have bee
through a porphyry, described as a trt
, chytic green stone or porphylite, whic
: is volcanic rock, overlooking the olde
, syenite. Prof. Becker shows that fo
over mile, the east wall of the lode, o
the lower levels wherever struck, is syt

east wall has not been reached, goo
grounds exist for infering the existenc
of syenite to the east Of the vein; thu
although the syenite had been pierced
