the Standard reporter scenes of eight
years ago, when Elkhorn and its neigh

foot tunnel on the Margaret on Comet
mountain. A steam driven air COM

the prosecution of this work, and the
equipment was first class in every de-

slump in silver prices forced the owners
to close, after cutting four well-de-
fined lodges, the first of which, the
Magnet, the mother lode, showed a
large body of wire silver which assayed
not less than 200 ounces. The tunnel cut
the ledge at it's apex and being a wet

A report from Superintendent Blu
chairman of the Pic Mic at Silver City,
Utah, gives the assurance that the drift
with which he had broken into the
vein has now penetrated it a distance
of eight feet, and vet no second wall
had been encountered. The galena that
shows good values in silver as well as
lead is mixed up with the sulphide of
iron that characterizes all the mines
in that particular locality and that has
invariably given way to the precious
metals as depth has been attained.

The Genesis of Ore Deposits,

The Genesis of Ore Deposits.
No study in geology is more interesting
or important than that of the genesis of
ore deposits. There are many ideas in
regard to the depth to which veins will
carry value, and favorite one is that
veins increase in width and richness with
depth. That the facts do not bear gu.
this pleasing theory Is to be regretted
nor do they disprove it. The exploration
of large number of veins in every por-
ton Of the world has shown that as \
general principle the width and value Of
mineral veins bear no relation to depth.
In many regions vein groupings on the
present surface represent what was at
one time at a depth of thousands Of feet
from the original surface.
There is still diversity of opinion as to
the origin of the minerals found concen-
trated in veins and ore deposits of various
forms. some maintaining that the metal
lie minerals are derived from the enclos-
ing wall rocks. and others believe they
come from great depth-a depth far below
that which human ingenuity and progress
can ever hope to reach.
Some eminent authorities suggest that
chemical analyses of massive crystalline
rocks. made with greatest care. will de-
tcrmine that the minerals found in veins
and ore deposits are derived directly
from these rocks. If this were so it would
seem that valuable accommodations Of such
minerals would be found IN these rocks
at Instance from veins. but none have
Deen reported, though miles OF tunnel and
smart nave been cut through massive

mining regions the country rocks have
been found to be gold and silver bear

there has been no conclusive proof advance
ed that these values, whether great or
small, did not come from the same source
as the minerals in the veins. The as

are dense and in their normal condition

less alteration, some of their normal
constituents being replaced by others.

The Field Of the Cloth Of Gold.

Roberta B. Nelson, in ..St Nicholas"

cent display of Henry VIII. of England
and Philip I. of France when they met
in good-fellowship on the plain of
Cuisines. $50 years ago.
The Kings retinue had been selected
from the noblest of the kingdom. VOL
sey, with his three hundred followers,
headed the escort, and was followed by
dukes, earls, barons, and knights, with
their retainers. The escort numbered
four thousand horsemen, not including
the Queens escort, numbering nearly
two thousand persons and eight hun
dred horses. The French King had an
equally splendid retinue. King Henry
and his great cavalcade were taken, on
arrival at Cuisines, to the magnificent
palace provided by Wolsey. There was
an old palace there, and Wolsey had
established himself in that, and erected
one for his King. The palace was the
most beautiful place ina inable; it had
SO many glazed windows that it looked
as though built of crystal and much of
the woodwork both inside and out, was
covered with gold. All the way from the
gate to the door We're rows of silver
statues. Inside, the walls of the cham

A Victim Of Telepathy.

There came to me late one night a
stranger, in widest despair, resolved to
commit suicide that night If | could not
help him, says Professor Munsterberg
in the Atlantic" He had been ply
stefan, but had given up his practice
because his brother, on the other side
of the ocean, hated him and had him
under his telepathic influence, troubling
him from over the sea with voices
which Knocked him and with impulses
to foolish actions. He had not slept
nor had he eaten anything for several
days, and the only chance for life he
saw was that new hypnotic influence
might overpower the mystical hypno-
tic forces. l soon found the source of
his trouble. In treating himself for q
wound he had misused cocaine in an
absurd way, and the Authorizations of
voices were the chief symptom of his
cocainism. These products Of his poi
soned brain had sometimes reference
to his brother in Europe, and thus the
telepathic system grew in him and
permeated his whole life. l hypnotized
him. and suggested to him with sue
cess to have sleep and food and a
