retted ores which formed the original vein
Among the first things to be noticed on
cupriterous vein is the decomposed state OF
the upper portion, and back or outcrop, con-
sisting of reddish or brownish mass, of
light spongy condition. 1t is a mixture of
oxide of iron, and usually contains traces of
other metals in the form of oxides, carbonates
and sulphurets, but containing in most cases
no copper at all, until the vein has been de-
veloped to depth of fifty TO sixty feet, TO
that point of line of decomposition, or as far
as the atmospheric agencies have any influ-
ence. The sulphuret of copper is oxidized
into sulphate, which is soluble in water,
and carried away in the rains and streams,
leaving the insoluble peroxide of iron as
gangue in the lode By long experience, the
miner is enabled to form an opinion, with
some confidence, of the value of the lode,
from the character of its outcrop and the de-
composed state of the upper portions of a vein
is by every prospector looked upon as favor.
able indication of valuable ores at some depth
below. The nature of the rocks il examined
with great care by the miner: some kind of
rocks being more favorable to the develop
mcnt of ore than others, as II is certain that
the metalliferous contents of veins vary with
the character Of the enclosing rocks. With
the exception of iron the ores of no metal are
more generally distributed than those of cop
per. Each Of the chief members of the strata
which compose the solid earth h-crust have
been found penetrated more or less by its
loies, and the miner has not failed to recog.
nize the fact that the natsirc of the formation
has an important influence on the character
OF the lode. II is Of Importance, in calculat-
ing the value Of a lode, to take the dip in con-
sidcration, as in case Of a lode which varies
in its dip. those portions which approach
nearest to perpendicular ara the richest, and
the working, upon fssurc vein are those in
which the yield i of a more permanent char
acter and in which the mining interests have
attained the greatest development, though
segregated veins have produced large amounts
Of ore. The softncSs and toughness makes
copper very valuable for great variety Of
purposes, and the ancient historians mention.
Cd that It's use was known to mankind at q
very early date. As gold is the only yellow
metal, so copper Is the only red one. The
specific gravity Of the pure native metal is
above eight. 1t is often found in state OF
absolute purity, being however, the decompo.

Garfield County Carbonaic>.

From the Denver Tribune.
The movement already begun in the direc.
ton Of the Garfield carbonate fields aud the
preparations in progress, indicate general
grand rush when the season is fairly opened.
II estimated that by August or september the
county will have population Of 10000. This
expectation will probably be realized unless
the procession {. checked by we'll founded un-
favorable reports from that quarter. While
n county organization has been provided for
by legislative enactment and the principal
offices filled by appointment, 1t cannot bc
rendered operative until the way is cleared
10y the advance Of warm weather, which ar.
riycs late in that altitude. The whole coun.
try seems to be possessed of the idea that this
is to be a srcond Leadvillc, aEd some of the
more cStrayaynnt profess to believe that
l.radvillo at its hest was only respectable
pointer in comparison. That it is an extern
sivc mineral bearing section there is no doubt,
hut the extent aud value Of its ores is yet TO
bc asccrtain.-l, and this Is the main question
to be considered in making calculations for
the future. However, there is perhaps quite
as much cause in the few facts thus far de.
velopcd to justify craze as there was for the
rash 10 Lcadyillc in ls77-ls1s. The res, re.
mains to he demonstrated by pick aud shovel,
powder and drill When these forces get to
work we shall not he long leit in doubt as TO
the character and value Of the deposits.
When the Ieidyille carbonstes were brought
to light 1t was new thing in the Colorado
chapter of revelations, hence each locator of
u claim firmly believed IL to be filled with
mineral worth from FIVE hundred TO five
thousand dollars per ton. This naturally
produced n crop of prospective millionaires,
numerically stronger and more dazzling than
the regular line of Colonies and lSrgaders
A year or two later most Of them were mus
tered out, but the rise of the new camps will
bring them TO the front again with strong re-
Inducements. Whatever the sequel, the hope
is universal that the great Silurian for,hstt!!S:
mapped out by llayden's skil)fnl surveyors
may contain sufficient treasure to strengthen
and enrich the State by n steady flow in bul.
lion, and the addition of millions to its popu.
lation. IL would be remarkable phenom-
enon II so large n field showing miles Of con.
tact veins by outcropping Mt the surface and
20 many evidences of assures, should prove
entirely barren of profitable grades. As the
year grows older we shall see.

The New Postal Route.

From the New York Proof sheet.
Since the withdrawal Of fractional currency,
the postal authorities have received many
demands for a simple and more economical
manner of transmitting small sums Of money
from one point to another. Tho,ma,,er was
referred to the General Superintendent Of the
Money Order system. DIR. Mcdonald, who
devised plan that he believed would fill the
requirements, which he presented to Post
master James, who duly approved Of it, and
ii was passed by Congress.
Mr.. Plimlcy, III. superintendent in the
money order department in this city explain
cd the new system TO Commercial reporter
this morning. The plan is he said to reduce
the fee on five dollars and over, and in addi.
ton to issue postal note" for any sum
undcr Ave dollars, for uniform rate Of three
cents. and to do away with the necessity of
notifying the receiving post office that such
an order has been issued. Besides being
cheaper, the new system will be more oxpcdi-
tious 20 those who desire to send small sums
through the mail. Newspaper offices will be
largely benefited by the new system. Persons
at distance can remit the price of subscrip-
tion by simply dcpositinu the amount at their
post office. For this they receive slip Of
bank note paper on which is engraved the
usual requirements and rules. At its end are
three rows Of figures, the first row in large
type running from one 10 four, and the other
double row in small type running from one to
nine. When the amount is paid in, if it bc
for instance, SS.25, the postmaster before he
hands over the postal note, punches out figure
three in the first row, two in the second and
five in the third. That means that 1926 is
the amount that the holder is entitled to re.
ccivc. All the postal notes are issued to
bearer, and the Postal Department does not
assume any responsibility. The note is sent
by mail to It's destination the same AS an or.
binary letter, but becomes invalid after three
months, but can be renewed by making APP
piica.ion t Washington on the payment of
an additional fee of three cents. The new
note will he issued on or about July /.
Delta chief., 1883-04-18

Mr.. Hardwck, discovcrer of the subterra-
mean stream of water near the Garden of the
Gods, has sunk an s-foot we'll to discover the
size of the stream, and has reached the con-
clusion that the stream is 10 feet deep by IL
feet wide. The depth of the water varies
being always lower after sundown than ut
nny time during the day. During the months
of May and June the depth of water in the
well increases so much that II frequently fills
the hole or well and ovcrtiows. The water
Is excellent, and there is some talk of sup
plying Colorado Springs from this discovery.

Points on Copper.

A writer to the San Francisco Daily Er.
change says: The orisi,,al form in which
copper exists in veins is the sulphuret Of cop.
per or copper pyrtes. All other copper ores

or iron, or sulphur pyritcs and other sulphu.

LcadviIIc's bullion output.
From the Herald.

Il'H he
We give below the statement of the bullion
output for the quarter ending April /. 1t is
compiled as accurately as possible, the figures
being taken from the smelter's books except
in the case of the Grant Smelling company,
where, owing TO the illness of Mr.. Head, it
has been impossible to obtain the exact am
cunt. The estimate however is made on
conservative basis suggested by Gov. Grant,
and is rather under than above the true
figures. II will be seen that the product Of
the quarter is lower than for any quarter Of
last year. This is due to the fact that several
smelters have been undergoing repairs the
lower grade of the ores treated and the de-
probation in the value of silver and lead,
and the difference in the price at which the
former is figured being over three cents an
ounce, while the latter is figured ut si5 ton,
the price in Leadvillc. This alone is sufii-
cient to account for large part of the differ
cnce, and IL is believed that when the exact
amount of the shipments by the Grant Smell
ting company can be aseertained, that the
showing will equal IL not exceed that for the
first quarter OF last year:

From the Denver Tribune.
Though million less than the return for
the corresponding quarter Of 1852, the Lead
VILE statement just published Is nevertheless
n strong exhibit OF the condition OF the mines
The reduction in price Of silver and lead, to-
gc,her with the low grade Of much Of the ores
treated and the necessity o: closing a number
Of furnaces for repairs, accounts for the de-
felt, which will in all probability be made
up in the remaining quarters. As It Is, the
snelters have been yicldinga million month
since the first Of January. by adding the
value. Of ores on hand, we shall have a total
quite equal to that Of 1859 during the same
period. But estimating the balance from this
basis, We shall still have an increase over last
years returns from the State ~ large through
the splendid strikes made in other counties.
II may not reach the Anticipated $1,000 600,
but il will no; fail very much shor, Of thi,
aggregate.
