DOES MINING PAY?

Such eastern papers as the New York
Sun and the Philadelphia Ledger are
fond of stating that mining does not
pay, and that every dollar taken out
Of the earth costs on the average S1.25
to $3.50, the natural reply would be
were it SO, men would long ago have
abandoned mining perforce. To live,
men must eat. To buy food, they
must have money. If, therefore, they
are engaged in business which nets
an average loss, instead of an average
profit, some must starve, and this
point reached, the business would be
abandoned. But an ingenious Stats
tican has been at the pains to compute
the money invested in the shape of
dol lars, labor and property during the
past thirty years in the United States,
together with the yield of the mines
during the same period, with the fol-
lowing result:
Capital invested, S 6oo,ooo,o 900
Labor value 47o, 200, 900
Property of miners $4,000, 900
Total S1,1zo, 200, 900
Product since 1850 1900, 900, 900
Value of mines 400, ,ooo, 900
Value Of mills, etc 100000, 900
Total s2,76o, 900, 900
Profit S1,659,Soo, 900
Average annual profit
for thirty years $4,000, 900
One-thlrd paid treating ore,
transportation, etc I7,5s5,333
Net annual average 35,o1I,667
1t would thus appear that every dol
lar invested in mines, good and bad,
has on the average paid nearly $50
per cent. on the investment in thirty
years.-LeadvM Circular.

MINERAL FORMATION.

MINERAL FOR4K4 TON.
The mineral matters which have
proven useful to man form three cate
gories-lst, the earthly, as gypsum,
clay and marble; I'd, the carbonceous,
as coal, Ignite and petroleum; sd;
metallic, as iron, gold and silver.
The metals occur rarely native, Of
tener as ores, that is, combined with
sulphur, silica, carbonic acid, etc.
then form series Of deposits, of which
tAe physical and chemical characters
and history differ widely. They may
be grouped in three classes, as follows:
Superficial deposits.
Strati6ed deposits.
Unstratifed deposits
Superficial deposits include the &C
cumulation of gold, stream tin, plati-
mum, gems, ETC., which are obtained
from the surface material gravel,
sand and clay, derived from the de-
composition of the rock masses,
through which metals or ores were
sparsely distributed. Superficial de-
posts have probably furnished nine
tenths fall the gold that has..been.ob-
tanned by man, the greater part of the
tin, all the platinum, anG all the gems,
except the emerald, which is mined in
South America.
Stratified deposits may be subdivid-
ed into several groupes, such as:
1st. Ore forming entire strata for
example, beds of iron ore.
I'd. Ore disseminated through strata
as copper in the sand stones of Lake
Superior.
sd. Segregated masses in strata, as
balls, kidneys and sheets of clay, iron,
stone IN the shales of the coal measures
etc.
Unstratifed deposits have been di-
vided into:
1st. Eruptive masses, as in the iron
beds of Lake Superior, and in Russia
and Sweden.
cd. Disseminated through entire
rocks, as the cavaties in the amygda
oil trap of Lake Superior, filled with
copper.
sd. Contact deposits, as the Lead
vile deposits.
4th. Stock works, as the Silver
Cliff inflterations.
sth. Fahlbands, or rotten layers, in
the silver mine of Konigsburg, Nor
way.
9th. lmpregnations, as in the silver
bearing sandstones of Silver Reef, in
Southern Utah.
9TH. Chambers or pockets in lime
stone, as in the Emma, Flagstaff, Eu-
reka consolidated and many western
mines.
Mineral veins are divided into three
classes, as follows
1st. Cash veins are confined and
limited both literally and vertically to
a single stratum, as the lead deposits
of the Mississippi valley.
end. Segregated veins are confined
to metamorphic rocks. The quartz
veins in the gneisses and schists Of
New England and Allegheny belts are
examples. The ore bodies are in OBJ
long masses.
sd. Fissure veins occupy crevices
which have been formed by subter-
raneous forces, and have been filled
from foreign source by precipitation
from heated chemical solutions COM
ing from below. They traverse all
kinds of rocks, and are without def
mite limits.
