Porphyry Ia ore Bodies.


People are wonderfully timid just
now and very liable to lose their senses
whenever a little block OF porphyry is
struck in the Sisrra Nevada crosscuts.
Experience should have fought them
that these droppings Of the hanging
wall into the ore vein are the best evil
dences in the world OF the size and
strength Of the formation. They are
never found In narrow seams OF ore but
always in large ore bodies next the
hanging wall.
It should also be remembered that the
ore body In the Sierra Nevada is being
approached from the hanging wall, aud
not from the foot wall. rs was the case
with the big bonanza. These blocks or
horses Of porphyry aro therefore to be
expected, even as they were found next
the east wall OF the Con. Virginia and
California. Those excited no feelings OF
alarm because Of the amount OF ore en-.
countsred before they were reached. The
theory is that these powders Of por-
phyry were detached from the hanging
wall during the process and period OF the
formation Of the ore body. sank into II,
and thus became surrounded by the ore.
Very large horses are often found to
have gravitated to the point where the
ore body begins to narrow, and there to
have remained, US was the case with the
n encountered ON the 1850 level Of the
