Denver Mining Industry.

Denver Mining Industry.
A great geologlst, Sir Roderick
Murchison IN fact, once made an
unfortunate remark, the effect OF
which has been felt aver since,
though the opposite of what was
intended. He was led to say, in
the early fifties, that certain quartz
veins in Victoria call them
"reefs" down there-and their
contents, would not be persistent
IN depth. He based his belief on
mistaken theories as to the in
formation, with perfect data TO 60
on. Later, ia spite OF the warning,
the miners did follow the vein
down and have been doing SO ever
since, to over $500 feet in some
cases and over 1000 feet 10 many
sthers, and with the best success,
The saying was unlucky because
proved to be wrong by the facts,
and TIA mining wcrld never SO.
over IL, an is SILL quoting it In
dlsparagement Of all geological
science. A reaction set in that has
made itself felt to this day, so that
even now we find intelligent r1iners
holding a belief that ores are
likely TO improve in amount and
grade as they go down. This
feeling shows its self in such state
ments as "the ore runs so and 30,
and they only down so many feet"
wait till We get down
little farther" and 80 on. There
is another reason for the idea, to
be sure, based on the old ascension
theory of vein filling.
But now comes another set who

extend into the underlying rock, we
can tell about where to expect bot

after the structural relations are
understood, we can sometimes
make a guess as to the most likely
position in which to look for an ore
body. Or, in regular veins, it may
be that the ore chutes of given
district may have general trend
in one direction. Again, there is

working rules of probability. which
must be taken for what they are

About the bottom fact now known
about gold is that all original pyri-
tes OF small grain texture contain
gold To a greater or less extent. or
course this does not cover such se-
oondary large crystal pyrites AZ
those found In the coal measures
and elsewhere. but only the pyrites
in veins or comparatively unsltered
pyritous deposits derived from
veins. 1t is not yet known whether
the gold In this pyrites is in chem.

niRute particle OF gold is simply
covered with a coating OF sulphids
OF iron, whether the particles Of
gold are in the metallic state, but
alloyed with silver or other metal
which combines more readily with
sulphur than the gold does, and

nent national paper currency base'
upon gold and silver bullion
actually in the hands of th'
government, currencJ Incapable
OF fluctuations in value or OF sud
den expansion or contraction.
s. With the development Of oul
mines Of gold and silver this rep
resentatIve national currency will
grow more abundant, keeping
pace with the growth OF ofpopu'atioa
and inasmuch as coin is no longer
used OF needed except for small
change in the daily transaction OF
business, gold coin or silver bullion
would never be called for except
in limited amounts, occasionally,
for the settlement of international
balances. The government guaran-
tee backed by the metals them
selves would be absolute security,
and the gold and silver would re-
main In the government vaults,
while the representative paper
currency would circulate in their
stead.
6. Under this system no large
permanent gold reserve and no
new issue of government bonds
would be needed The option Of
redeemlng its currency with gold
or with silver bullion SO It's market
value would protect tho governs
ment against any combination to
advance or depress the relative
value of either metal
This is the only plan by which
practical hi metallism can be at
tanned. The objection of mer-
chants, manufactures ana bankers
to the free coinage of silver at any
fixed ratio to gold, is tho belief
that there cannot be two legal
standards in operation at the same
time without thereby creating a
practical mono metallism of the
cheaper metal, thus reducing the
value OF the dollar and at the same
time excluding the other metal.
But there should be little or no
opposition to q system which,
while maintaining the existing
gold standard, establishing practi-
cally bi-metallism in the shape of
a national currency payable either
in gold coin or its equivalent on
the day of rsde mption IN silver
bullion.

A NEW SILVER PLAN.

Henry b. Blackwell, Of Boston,
Mass, advances a new solution of
the currency question. He says
the business of the country cannot
recover from it's present paralysis
until congress has defined by
Legislation the exact meaning OF
two works--"dollars" and tariff
OF the two q definition of the
dollar" is by far the more inn
portant.
The repeal of the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman law did not
settle the silver question. 1t
merely terminated q compromise.
1t put an end to a truce between
the two conflicting opinions and
brought us face to face with the
inquiry--What shall the American
dollar represent ? Like the re-
peal of the old Missouri compro-
mise it clears the deck for action.
But the battle 10 still to be fought.
A majority of the congressman are
avowed bi-metallists. They be-
lieye that in this they represent a
majority OF the American people.
The advocates OF gold standard
have demonetized silver. A satis-
factory settlement of the silver
question can be effected on the
following basis:
Gold bullion to be received and
coined as at present, and paid for
by the government, when desired,
in national paper currency. All
silver bullion of Ansrican produc.
ton to be also received by the
United States treasury from day to
day at its average gold market
during the preceding thirty days

the world--ssy in New York,
Paris, London and Berlin. Ma
tiosai paper currency to be issued
in payment for said silver bullion,
of denominations frsm one dollar to
one thousand dollars, as preferred
by the seller of silver, payable on
demand either in gold coin or
in silver bullion OF equal value
with gold coin on the day of re-
demption, at the option OF the
government.
The advantage OF this system
are these:

nent use for all silver OF American

verse is true. This is probably
only another reaction from the
earlier one, due to the tendency oi
SO many minds to always join the
opposition party. They hold thai
rs general thing, that is. with
enough percentage in its favor Ia
form a working rule or to bet on,
ores grow poorer and that there
are less OF them the deeper you
mine.
There is just about as much
foundation for one belief as an.
other. Statistics can be adduced
in endless profusion, to support
either side. There are all sorts OF
experiences that might be quoted
in favor OF one or the other. But
it is not a eubiect capable Of being
reduced to Mathematical demon
stration. You can't fairly take
one set Of occursnces, add them up
and weigh them against another
set, unless they are all OF kind.
II we remember rightly. it used to
be one of the axioms of elementary
arithmetic that it won't do to add,
subtract, multiply or divide Hes-
ry's apples by Georges marbles -
or something to that effect. bot
this is Just what the new crop OF
theorists are trying to do average
IN incompatiblos. They take a
certain number OF dissimilar mines
or steeply inclined contacts and
beds, OF all sorts OF ores and with
oil sorts of county rock, and find
that they improve as they descend.
Then another group equally di-
verse is found that grow poorer in
depth. These are added up separ-
ately and then a balance 10 struck
between the two groups. One OF
these new faddists claims 70 have
the records Of many hundreds Of
mines and thinks that he has by
them established the diminutiou
theory beyond doubt. But prob
ably an equally earnest advocate OF
the opposite notion could scare up
quite as many evidences for his
side of the argument. 1t is note
worthy that In all such coatrover.

Now there is this much sense in
such discussion, that because we
cau't see our way clear to at once
establish a definite law, this Is no
reason why we should not keep on
trying to find ont. Something
