EAGER FOR GOLD.
Foolish spaniards Had Themselves Low

e OOnsH ppanldrOS ha0 themselves Low
cred Down a Volcano.
Nicaragua boasts of volcano called
Misaya, about which curious but
hardly credible story is told. When,
in 1922, the Spaniards overran the
state, the volcano was very lively.
Many of the victorious Spaniards
thought that the raging fire at the
foot of the crater was neither more nor
less than the purest gold in molten
state. The puzzle was how to get it.
But at last a few men, more foolish and
more venturesome than their mates,
had themselves lowered down until, by
means of an iron chain with bucket
at the end of it. they could reach the
fiery mass. OF course, as soon as the
bucket neared the surface it was melted

when drawn up, were haltdead from

to the east. The hanging wall here
cross-dike shattering the main north
and south dixie disrupting the lode,
which became impoverished. the quartz
and states becoming shattered and the
gold bearing material so ditfused that
it did not pay prOfitably in its oper-
atlons. Here, however, is one of the
evidences so often met with in this
great lode or vein system, the lack OF
sinking to great depth and proper
series Of crosscuts being run. Too
much has been taken for granted with
out thorough developments. We know
that the gold was not dropped into
these assures from a bird S wing, and
there Is every reason to believe that
the gold bearing rocks will descend as
deep into the earth as the slate uplift
or tilt, which ever may be chosen as
the most preferable theory. The gold
bearing rocks are wide and long,
filed with pyritic matter, which in
most cases is a crystallized sponge OF
sulphur, if | may be allowed to g5c
that term, which is the base of this
pyritic matter, acting as it did as a
web for the deposit of the metalloids it
has gathered the gold particles which
are found in state of what we call
fine quartz gold. which when examined
under the microscope are found to be
tetrahedrons. Indeed, it is doubtful
whether the crystal of sulphur can be
found on the line of these rocks that
does not carry more or less gold. In
order to more thoroughly understand
the nature of the gold bearing rocks
we must deal a little with technical
terms, and since like formations
throughout the world produce like
gold deposits, | will enumerate few
hornblendic, micaceous schists, feldspar,
soda-feldspar, lime-feldspar, orthoclase,
gneissoid, diorite dixie, syenite and
gneiss schlsts, mica -schistS, talc-Schists
These are conditions generally found,
evidence of which we find in the mines
under consideration, but no formation
so far as we know has been developed
anywhere that promises such great
depth as the states and syenites of our
California system. Hence, the justi-
fication for sinking deep shafts on our
lode line.
Speaking to the point: The section
now under consideration we find the
lode broken; the eastern wall fractured
and splintered, presenting the features
of disturbances, with its mineralized
conditions above enumerated.
The Bunker Hill mine, which adjoins
the Amador on the north, has some of
the features herein described. The
granite wall, however, partakes more
of the gnessic granite, or, perhaps, L
might more properly describe it as a
granite porphyry. In this mine the
body of quartz when found next to
the hanging wall is in shingle form;
that is to say, there is no continuous
shoot, but cab-like series of forma-
tions fish-shaped, head against tail
and vice versa; these are not uniform
ly profitable auriferous deposits. There
are particularly few of this number
that are regular in shape. The value
where the blue slate. rocks are found is
often highly cleaved and bodies of
quartz have been found rich.
In the interest of economical develop
ment, where delving into the everlast-
ing hills for fortune is the object of
man S toll, would recommend careful
study and intelligent activity.

Articles of Incorporation for a bank,
to be known as the Calaveras County
Bank, and to be established at Angels
Camp, were filed with the County
Clerk last Saturday. The capital
stock of $50, 900 has all been SUBJ
scribed. the stock holders being George

not particular as to his range. One

hat, cutting feather from the trim

Citizen. San Andreas, March "a, 1900.

. Paloma has sensation in the dis
appearance of Victor Peterson, a we'll
known business man of that place.
The whole affair is shrouded in mys-
tery, which the local officers have been
unable to solve. Peterson was en-
gagged in general merchandising and
was doing profitable business. On
Thursday evening week ago,
March 18th, he left his home to go to
the barber shop OF Louis Blais to be
shaved. leaving his store open. He
did go to the barber shop and was
shaved. When he left Blais' place no
one saw whittier he went, but there all
traces of him were lost. He has not
since been seen nor heard from. Peter
son was married about six months
ago to a divorced woman, formerly
Miss Herbet. So far as known his
home life was happy. His affairs have
been found in prosperous condition
and thoroughly straight. Iti thought
that he had between 5000 and S400 on
his person when he disappeared. He
had this money in Gwin mine checks.
which he had converted into cash the
afternoon of the day on which he dis
appeared.
There seems to be feeling in the
community that Peterson has gone to
seek new pastures, though there is a
possibility of foul play. A careful
search of old shafts and tunnels has
been made, but without any results.
Considering that Peterson left his
stock of goods, his gold watch and
personal jewelry, his best clothing,
and; indeed, all his worldly possessions,
the sum of money he carried away
looks insignificant.
The Sheriff s Office has been ap-
pealed to and is taking a hand in the
search. The following description of
Peterson has been sent out: He is a
scandinavian, between 80 and 40 years
Of age, rather heavily built, 3 feet 8
inches tall, wears light moustache and
is of light complexion. A peculiar fea-
ture of the case is, that though her
husband disappeared on Thursday
evening, Mrs. Peterson made no in
quiry concerning him until Saturday
morning following.
