Herald, l6 West Colorado street; telephone
Red 675.) Prof. Claypole lecture tonight
at Memorial hall, on Mineral Veins and
Mining" attracted large audience. The
professor dwelt on the unknown antiquity
OF mining and said that the tin in Solomon's :
temple was mined in Spain and the source
Of the supply kept secret. The formation
OF mineral veins is commonly supposed to
be due to the action of fire, but this it not
true. They are the result Of water filling
in the crevices made by earthquakes with
deposits of minerals. The depths of the
earth are usually filed with hot salt water
which holds in solution nearly all known
minerals. This hot water in rising to the
springs on the surface deposits its minerals
on each side of the crevlces as it rises. Hot
water will hold in solution large quantities
of nearly all minerals, and deposits them
according to their solubility. Miners know
that minerals are associated. The presence
of one usually indicates the presence OF It's
associate. Why, geologists cannot tell, but
it is valuable to know these combinations.
Most ore is found in the older rocks OF the
earth. Granite and gneiss do not contain
them. As rule, precious metals are found
in the oldest stones, such as porphyrn.
There is no greater gambling IN the worlu,
the doctor said, than placer mining, but
quartz mining is more stable where the de-
