Icc 90, 600 Years Old

(Fron. tas Meas, Alma, C2ieTGd9.)
The altitude of the Stevens mine on
Mount Mcclellan is IL, 500 feet AT
the depth of from SO to 200 feet the
crevice matter, consisting CT silica,
calcite, and ore, together with the sur
rounding wall rock, is solid frozen
aass. Mcclellan is one Of the highest
es stern spurs Of the snowy range; 1t has
the form of horseshoe, with a hold
escarpment of feltsphatic rock nearly
2, 900 feet high, which in some places
is nearly perpendicular Nothing unu-
sual occurred until a distance Of some
80 or so feethad been made; then the
frozen territory was reached, and 1t has
continued for over 200 feet. There are
no indications of thaw, summer or
winter. The whole frozen territory is
surrounded by hard, massive rock and
the lode itself Is as hard and massive
as the rock.
The miners, being unable TO eXcav'
ate the frozen material with pickor
drill, found that the only way was to
kindle large wood flIe at nightagninst
the back end of tho tunnel, and In tho
rlorning take out the disintegrated
orc. This has been the mode OF min
| ing for more than two years, The tun
mel is over 300 feet deep, and thele Ii
no diminution OF the frost. There Is
40 far as can be seen, no opening OF
channel through which the frost coult
possibly have reached such a deptf
| from the surface. There are otheI
mines in the same vicinity in a lik'
frozen state. The theory is that th'
rock was laid down in glacial times
when there was cold enough to freez
the very earth's heart. In that case tn
mine is an ice house whose stores hay
remained unthawed for at least 30, 90
years! The phenomenon Is not uncom
mon or inexplicable when opening
can be found through which curren
OF air can pass; but CAGES which, lik
the Brandon frozen we'll and th
Stevens mine show no way for air Gu
rents, are still referred to imbedde
:cebergs and the glacial period.
