Origin of Ore Deposits.

| In another part of this issue appears
| an excellent article from the Mining
| and Scientific Press on 1.-THE Genesis of
Ore Deposits" 1t suggests the extreme
difficulty of acquiring a perfect knowl-
| edge of the origin of ore deposits.
The prevailing opinion unquestion-
ably is that the deposits are formed
from mineral solutions, but this itself.
II true, fails to entirely solve the prob
lem. Whence came the solutionsq Tt
is hardly admissible to believe that the
mineral solutions We're of the first for
| nation. The waters must somewhere
have picked up the minerals which
they contain. 1t would seem that the
metals must have been gathered from
the solid crust Of the earth by the
waters as they percolated through the
rocks and ultimately found their way
into the assures where the main pre-
cipitations occurred.
1t is true, as intimated by the journal
referred to. that the waters laden with
their metals held in chemical solution
may have permeated the wall rocks at
or less porus state. But, as before re-
marked. the gold. silver, copper, iron
or whatever the metals may be, very
likely formed a part of the solid earth
distributed irregularly throughout the
entire mass. from which it was gath
cred by the percolating waters. If so
1t is quite possible that what are termed
the wall rocks also contained more or
less of these metals.
1t is not likely, though, that the wall
rocks alone contained enough of these
| minerals to make up the enormous de-
| posts that are found if many assures,
1t is far more reasonable to believe
that the metals We're gathered I'D by
the waters from points far and near.
the wall rocks contributing or not, lust
as it might happen.
| Inc prevailing idea that lodges grow
richer with depth seems to have moth
| ing to sustain it but the fact that the
| SPECIFIC gravity of the metals, being
greater than the ordinary country rock
they would naturally settle to greater
depths in the assures. But the deposit
tion of ore bodies is a chemical process
rather than one of mere gravity. The
solutions doubtless begin to part with
their metallic contents as soon as the
chemical condition are right for such a

Mr.. GAGE TO THE RESCUE
Monetary Stringency Relieved by a
Pre- mise to Buy Bonds-Decreased
Copper Supplies-The Metal
Market.
The METAL MARKET.

Copper stocks opened weak, and during
the last seven days took wide range
first falling and then rising again. The
weakness, as is we'll known, was owing
to the monetary stringency that has an
peared in Wall street. That this was
the cause seems to be quite generally
conceded in the Eastern money centers
and it finds confirmation in the fact that
other stocks as well as copper were very
shaky, some of them showing sharp de-
clines.
The Strengthening of the market is as
cribed to Secretary Cages promise, IL
necessary, to buy s25,O00.OOO worth of
bonds for the purpose of putting more
money into circulation. Although it was
not actually done, it gave Wall street
confidence and stocks took an upward
turn.
The Boston News Bureau gives most
favorable statement of the condition of
the Amalgamated Copper company,
showing that it is earning s1,000,00O a
month net.
The statistics of copper supplies show
diminished quantity abroad the de-
crease in the visible supply, being 1878
tons for the first half of November Cop
per strengthened somewhat in London
and the opinion is freely expressed that
it will not go below lie in the American
market for some time. u
Silver slightly weakened and lead held
firm. The table below shows the fuc-
tuations in the stocks:

any too much. From 1850 to 1870 the
". The annual average was probably
Increased fully four-fold. And yet
when silver was partially demonetized
in 1873 and its use further limited in
subsequent years, monetary strin-
gency at once set in that was felt
throughout the entire commercial
world. ''
So, while i: is true that the proluc-
ton Of gold has largely increased dur
ing recent years, 1t has all been a.,-
sorbed into the arts and the money
systems of the world, and business has
been adjusted to the increased supply
II any considerable portion Of this
larger supply. is shut off, it must in
evitably have an effect directly the
reverse of what happened when the
supply was Increased. First will come
a shrinlage of prices as result OF
tight money market. Speculative val
ues would suffer first and probably the
most, for there is the most room for
shrinkage in that field. If continued
for any considerable length of time it
would extend to other things and then
would come a check to production.
1t may not be owing to the South
African situation, but monetary
stringency is already reported in Wall
street which the Boston Herald de-
clares has paralyzed speculation, and
there is a strong suggestion that the
United States treasury may have TO
come to the relief of the situation by,
in some way, releasing money for CIR
culation If the disbursement of money
by the treasury will relieve the situa-
ton, it stands to reason that an equal
amount of new gold from the Rand
would have the same effect wherever
it might be placed. Hence It follows
inexorably that to stop the supply from
that quarter must have the same ef-
feet as to tie I'D a similar amount in
some great treasury like that of .he
United States.

Weli-knoWn mining man of Utah, has
a project on foot for the running of
drainage tunnel 10000 feet long from
point known as Niger Hollow, near
Park City, through the mountains to
the Crescent mine, which it is intended
to tap at a depth of 2,.4O0 feet. The
tunnel, besides its value in prospecting,
would give fine drainage for the region
and also serve as a roadway for the
transportation of ores to Park City.
1t is stated that p TIL. Grautz holds
his Hidden Treasure mine at Deadwood
at million dollars and is not anxious
to sell even at that rate. Mr. Graut1
has recently shipped rs tons of ore to
Denver, of which it is claimed the poor
est will return $500 to the ton, and the
higher grade $500. One ton. Mr.. Grautz
is quoted as saying, will yield 100000.
A special to the Denver Daily Min
ing Record states that EliZabethtOwrl,
N. NJ. is in great glee over a mining
deal by which Kansas City syndicate
has become the owner of the Big Red
Banadana gold mine and five others
contiguous to it. All of the mines are
said to be in an advanced state of de-
velopment, showing exposed values of
nearly 100000 in ore bodies. The SUI
perintendent is reported as saying that,
he expects to take out 100000 during
the next IL months.

tiating for a controlling interest in the
Yankee and Waltham claims, near EN-
pire. Colo. AS soon as the transaction

comprise large bodies of low grade sui
phide ores. A representative of this
syndicate was on the ground recently
who considers it advisable to erect a
pyritic smelter or other suitable reduc-
ton works on the premises to handle
the output Of this group of claims. The
ore is not of sufficient value to justify
shipping and smelling at present rates,
but owing to the enormous size of the
ore bodies it is deemed advisable to ex-

Monetary Stringency.

Not only our mining exchanges, but
the leading trade and business journals
of the country are devoting consider
able space to the question of the tenn
porary suspension of the Transva al
gold supply, and it's probable effect
upon business. The conclusion quite
generally reached is that the produc-
hion of gold is now so much greater
than it was a, few years ago. that the
stoppage of the supply from the Trans
Eaal-nearly one-third of the whole
will have no appreciable effect.
For example. it is stated that of the
$4,000, 100000 produced since the discov-
cry of America, more than half has
been produced since 1860, and more
than fourth since 1885. The very
small annual product prior to 1850 Is
stated and compared to the average
of more than $500, 900 900 year since
1891.
Such reasoning proves literally MOTH
ing because it only takes into account
one side of the question AS well
might it be argued that to reduce arbi-
Hrarily the output of pig iron one-third
would not cause any scarcity Of pig
iron because the total product is, per
a1aps, twenty times as great as it was
q few years ago. The conditions which
fix the demand must also be consid-
cred.
This is true Of money even more
markedly than of other things, because
money being one side of every business
transaction, the volume of business
and range of prices upon one side and
the quantity of money with which TO
exchange the goods and price them
upon the other, must necessarily he so
adjusted as to balance. In the early
part of the century and in former ones
when the output of the precious metals
was very small. there was, in sense,
plenty of money because the world S
business was also very small and the
range of prices very low.
But as the production of gold and
silver increased, making money more
abundant, the effect was first, to raise
prices, and then to stimulate produce
rfon and general business, so that no
matter how greatly the money supply
may have increased, there was never

The Mining and Scientific Press says
that the silver mines of Cerro de Pasco.
Peru, We're discovered in 1880 by an In
dian shepherd. They are estimated to
have produced since their discovery
$685., 100000 in silver. They are at an
altitude of 14,250 feet above the sea.
The argentiferous deposit is described
as consisting chiefly of a ferruginous
sandstone, in the neighborhood of lime
stone. conglomerate and slate. A tun-
mel $500 feet in length was run at a
cost of 100000 to drain these mines. 1t
required 20 years to complete it. A sec
ond tunnel, So feet lower, was run $3.50
feet in 46 years at a cost of 81, 100000
At a mile from its entrance the tunnel
branches, the branches having a total
length of mile. A third tunnel was
started in 1877, but when in 800 feet was
abandoned. These mines produce gold,
silver, copper and lead. Most of these
ores are amalgamated by the patio
process in 20 mills. The higher grade If
lead ores are smeited.

: The Idaho County Free Press speaks
in an optimistic vein concerning min
ing conditions in that section of Idaho.
1t states that new mining districts are
rapidly coming to the front, with mos.
excellent prospects ahead. The Buffalo
Hump, Marshall lake, Rapid river and
Imnaha districts are all said to he
looking well. The mineral deposits are
varied in character, consisting Of gold,
silver, copper, lead and coal. The
prospective development of coal meas
ures is a most encouraging feature Of
the situation. Coal is a most import
ant factor in all this mountain region,
and the value of a good coal mine in
reasonably close proximity to mines of
other metals can scarcely be overesti-
mated.

About Permanent Blooms.

Some Of our exchanges, referring to
the small number Of business failures,
assume it to be proof that the present
alleged BOOM in business is here TO
etay. .
It is to be hoped that they are right,
but the proof suggested is very far
from being conclusive. When a boom
is actually on there are never many
failures. The reason is that in such
seasons there is always a great ex-
ransion of credit, and so long as credit
can be easily obtained, failures will
naturally be few. The failures come
when the credit begins to suffer curtail-
ment. @I
A real boom is generally accom-
panied by an! abnormal and unsafe ex-
pansion Of credit. But there isqalways
a limit-,a day when liquidation must
come and then comes the collapse, or
at least, a sharp check to the boom
There may be good and substantial rea-
sons for the present Improvement in
business. and there undoubtedly are
some. but it is certain that the expan-
sion of credit is also an element to be
reckoned with
In the matter of business failures it is
the most important one for it stands to
reason that no business man will go I'M
der so long as he can get an abundance
of credit. 1t is also clear that bust
ness man heavily in debt is bound to
fail almost upon the moment when his
credit gives out.
To say that because there are now
few failures being recorded therefore
prosperity is here to stay, is about the
same in principle as to claim boom
is here to stay because there is a
"boom.' Changes in business condi-
tions are all the time taking place, and
1T is full easier for boom to break
that it is for it to begin.
In fact there never yet was a boom"
that proved permanent. The one we are
said to be enjoying now may prove an
exception, but it is too soon to be
sure.
