VERY YOUNG QUARTZ.
Some Eut Fifteen Years Old
Sandstone Only Twelve ana

@,ate E.c,Ss Than Twenty.
It is a generally accepted theory
that quartz, sandstone, slate. etc,
are geological formations which re-
quire thousands of years to form.
A few days ago. in Virginia City,
Conductor Havenor showed the
editor of the APPEAL a specimen OF
quartz which never could have ez-
listed over fifteen years ago. The
quartz in question was taken out OF
the Yellow Jacket mine from be-
tween the timbers. The timbers
we're put in fifteen yerrs ago, and
the material forming the quartz
had apparently oozed through a
crack and adhered to the timber.
1t was about the size and had the
appearance of caulifoger. There
was O mass rather soft and crum-
bling to the touch, and in places
woven together like threads, and in
this mass, and a part Of it, were
three distinct and perfectly formed
quartz crystals. The mass had
been pushed through the crack
while in a plastic state, and then
formed in the bunch described.
The specimen in the possession of
Mr.. Havenor shows where 1t al
hered to the timber.
He also has piece of sandstone
taken from the creek at Stevens
mill nesg Dayton. The niil was
built twelve years ago and por-
ton of wooden stake driven into
the ground at that time is solldly
imbeded IN the sandstone, which Is
as firm and hard as any sandstone
of the old sandstone period. There
is rusty nail in the wedge.
About twenty years ago spring
was dug on American Flat. Week
before last it WAS found that a hard
qualification of slate had formed on
the bottom. 1t was broken up with
an az and Mr.. Have2or secured
some good specimens. The slate
was half an inch thick, perfectly
hare and brittle and had adapted it
self to the conformation of the
spring where it had formed like
scales OF teakettle.
VIII some biologists explain how
the theory will hold water that al
these classes of rock are the result
of thousands of years Of chemical
action.

The Flood Party Win the ODhir
Figs,t.
al! interest in stocks yesterday
was centered in the Ophir fight,
and when the stock touched$2O there
was vigorous crashing of teeth on
the part of those who had unloaded
at SIS. The sympathizers with the
Sharon crowd fousished dispatches
abont and offered large odds on the
result. Their claims to inside IN
formation caused many people
(who had not read the APPEAL care
fully for some days past) to bet
heavily on the Sharon Morrow
side, and these same are beautifully
out of pocket. During the past
few weeks Bob Pi1ley has been
representing the Bonanza firm IN
this city picking up all the stock
that could be found. Bob raked
Carson with fine tooth comb, and
when he got through Ophi- was
very scarce here. A dispatch re-
ceiveS here at 4 O'Clock announced
that Flood had won the fight by
GOO majority. That the outcome
of tie fight was considered a good
thing was evidenced by the half
dollar rise ali along the line, and
there was better feeling every
where. This rise was occaslone'i
by the knowledge of the fact that
Sharon only wanted Ophir for low
grade milling ores, while the Be-
nauza party will prospect the deep
levels and hunt for new bonanzas.
After the election the stock fell to
Sc, like a chunk Of lead dropped
down a well, thereby relieving the
anxious shorts who had vague
idea that the mani pulators might
hold it up ard einch somebody.
During the Ophir Gght very little
attention has been paid to anything
else, which has caused dull and
sluggish market. From this on
the outlook is much better.
San Francisco, Dec. l9.-Ihe
fight for the control Of Ophir. be-
tween the Flood and Sharon par

STEAMsHR OLD DOMINION,

PORTSMOUTH, VA, Oct IA, 1883.
 The Yale Business college excursion party, which left New Haven, October 12, on the 0. H. Northan1, reached New York in good condition for doing the city. After partaking of a hearty breakfast they took the elevate: :: railroad for Central Park, visiting the princi pal objects of interest including the men agerie, etc; thence by the elevated railroad
 to Fulton ferry, then to Brooklyn, crossing
 the new Brooklyn bridge to New York The party visited the Mayors office where they
 were politely and courteously shown the many things of interest including the DOT l traits of every mayor of the city since its organization They then received an invita-. | tion to visit the Governors room where each signed his name in an autograph book, on the identical desk once occupied by Wash ington. The party then regaled themselves with good dinner and started for the steam
 CT Old Dominion, which sailed at o'clock. Owing to the dense fog lowering over the water, the passage down the bay was not as pleasant as it would otherwise have been. When fairly out upon the ocean ve had an almost miraculous escape from collision with bark which had lost it's course and was bearing directly down upon us. The heavy swell which was running on Sunday caused seasickness with many and impressed them with the reality of storm at sea. Land
 was not sighted until 2 o'clock. Upon in- quiring we found it to be Hog Island. Later in the day fleet of T sailing vessels were passed, which had come out of Hampton Roads where they had taken refuge from the storm. We found that the Roanoke was grounded on the bar. We reached Ports mouth about o'clock in the evening, pass. ing over ths ground where the Cumberland was sunk with 800 souls on board during the war, landed and visited some of the principal streets and are now on our way to Norfolk.
