SNAKE RIVER GOLD.

The following article on the
origin of the fine gold of Snake
river, is from the pen of Robert
Bell of this county
The origin of the fine gold of
Snake river has been subject of
much speculation for years, and
has entirely baffied the theories
and researches of the ordinary
prospector, who has traced it
from the mouth of the river to
its very source, only to find, con-
trary to the experience of almost
all other placer fields, that the
same uniform tineness and filmy
conditions of the delicate colors
prevail throughout.
One of the most plausible the
cries that have been suggested
touching the origin of this ex-
tensive distribution of the prec-
ious metal was advanced by Capt
n. l.. Turner, o West Point man,

If | do this or the other thing,
people will laugh at me, seems a
very weak argument to urge
when one is confronted with a
duty but is strong enough to
keep many young man from
taking q brave stand for the
right. Boys smoke cigarettes,
not because they like them, but
because companions will jeer if
they refuse. Boys use profane
words, or disobey their parents,
through silly fear of some
body's mirth, if they are pure of
speech, and obedient. And the
somebody they dread is one
whose opinion is not worth their
consideration for a single instant.
Let the boy who means to be
manly, study to be something
bigger than a mere moral COW
ard, a reed shaken by the wind.

cent in value, but they are also
flakey in shape, and are washed
down stream with every summer
flood enriching the low shifting
bars at every short bend in the
stream where favorable condi-
tion for their concentration is
presented. Bedrock is not i'm
portant TO the deposition of the
values. In the high banks of
loose gravel that border the
stream, as well as in the low bars
and flood planes, the richest val
ues are represented by thin lines
of gray silt or calcareous sedi-
ment. These lines of enrichment
represent flood periods. They
are usually from a few inches to
one foot or more in thickness,
and one to ten feet apart. The
intervening space all carries
gold, but much more sparingly.
Subjected to microscopic ex-
animation many of the colors
show rounded edges and a con-
cave or cup-shaped depression in
their fiat surface, and quite a
proportion of them are coated
with a sugary incrustation of
silica or some other substance,
which involves the necessity of
securing them in a cleanup bar
rel or an arrastra pan before
they will unite freely with mer-
curry. Under a sharp focus of
the microscope all the colors
show delicate like tracery
of fine brown lines, that suggest
chemical reaction. The PARTICLES
were probably precipitated from
their original watery solution as
chlaride or bromide of gold and
afterward transmitted to metallic
by natural process.
Aside from the above charac-
teristics, under a powerful glass
the fine particles reveal the
natural yellow color and worn,
knotted appearance of high
grade gold nuggets. The only
natural alloy that the govern
ment assay Office at Boise, Idaho,
accounts for on shipments of
Snake river bullion is a small
amount of silver, and as the fine
ness of the bullion after deduct
ing the silver does not exceed
$50 there remains considerable
room for other natural allows.
which it is not unlikely may be
in part made UP by platinum or
iridium. In fact, a gray white
metal in impalpably fine particl-
es, but just as readily separated
as the gold in banning, has been
noticed at several points along
Snake river. This is supposed
to be one or the other of the
rare metals above mentioned.
A series of analyses of concen-
trates and bullion from different
points along the stream are be-
ing made by the writer at the
present time and should they
prove to contain an appreciate
amount of either platinum or
iridium, the fact will lend an
added interest and incentive to
the recovery of Snake river fine
gold.
An absolutely reliable method |
of saving the gold and the other
natural advantage of fine climate,
railroad transportation, cheap
labor, power and ground, are in
ducements that should make
this an attractive field for ipves-

vestigating the problem in the
early eighties. Capt. Turner adj
vanced the theory that the gold
was originally held in solution
by the waters of a great inland
sea or lake that occupied the
Snake river valley subsequent to
the Miocene period and that the
gradual and repeated evapora-
ton of this great body of water
by subsequent lava flows result
ed in the precipitation of it's met
allie contents, generally and
evenly over its basin area. This
theory would seem to account for
the uniform size and quality of
the golden colors so generally
disseminated throughout the
enormous acreage of fine gravel
beds through which the Snake
river now courses.
The geological record of the
rocks left along the borders of
this stream, and in the Grand
Canon below Weiser, offer con
elusive evidence of a land locked
body of water that covered the
whole body and that probably
exceeded Lake Bonneville in
depth and areal extent at some
of its higher levels. This great
body of water, which might apt
| ly be called Lake Idaho, for the
purpose of this article, was crea-
ted by the closing of the lower
valley by great dam of brown
Colombia lava $500 feet high,
now plainly exposed by erosion.
1t highest level is indicated by a
stretch of conformable shoreline
conglomerate gravel, along the
west side of Wood river, near
HALEY, at an altitude of 5000
feet. At this level the waters of
Lake Idaho must have extended
along the present course of the
valley from below Weiser to the
foot of the main range, and Gov
cred a distance of fully 500 miles
in length by $50 miles in breadth
and over 1000 feet deep at it's
deapest point.
This lake suffered numerous
and extensive variations of level
during the later Tertiary periods.
Some of the more recent horiz-
ons are still exposed at Pocatello,
where on either side of the Port
neuf Estuary, in plain sight from
the depot, we'll defined benches
or terraces of shore line gravel
are left exposed 100 feet high
above the town; and a succession
OF low step terraces of ake-shore
gravel, cut by the main track of
the Oregon Short Line railway
between Pocatello and American
Falls, plainly indicate the rapid
recession of the lake levels of
this period, and its final drainage
and complete obliteration by the
erosion of the Snake river chan
mel to its pres ent level.
These varying lake levels are
well established throughout the
valley within vertical range of
1000 feet, and are now represent
ed by the beds of conglomerate
gravel alternating with great
flows of black basaltic lava of
more recent date. Most of these
conglomerate deposits are gold |
bearing, and their sub-aerial dis
interrogation and erosion by recent
stream action is doubtless res
ponsible for the immediate source
of the fine float color now so
generally distributed through
the loose gravel and silt of the
present river channel and it's
wide fat bars.
Prior to the inception of the
great floods of black lava that
have filled the upper valley, the
shore lines and basin area of
Lake Idaho were almost all com
posed of granite and Palaeozoic
formations. These formations

In Mondays election the citizens

bOaSting of success up to the closing of

far from it! But a triumph for con-
servative management in town affairs.

Upon complaint issued by Prosecu-

Justice Dayton for the arrest of
Charles M. Thorpe of HattertOwn.
The complaint charged a violation of
the license law, and Il hearing was set
down for tomorrow, Saturday. On
account of the sickness of Mr. Thorpe,
the case has been continued to the
Goth inst. A search warrant was also
issued but Constable G. B. johnson

premises. Attorney Beecher appears
for Mr. Thorpe.
The case of Charles NJ. Thorpe
against Ormel e. Morgan was on trial
before Judge Curtis in the Court Of
Common Pleas on Thursday and Fri
day of last week at bridgeport. The
suit involves the title to 40 square
feet of ground in HattertOwn. On the
10th of August, 1901, Mr. Morgan, who
claims to own the property, tore down
fence that Mr. Thorpe had erected on
it. Whereupon Mr. Thorpe caused Mr.
Morgan's arrest. For that offence he
was tried before Justice NJ. J. Bradley
and acquitted. Mr. Thorpe then
brought the present suit to test the
question of title. The case was not
finished but is to be taken up later.
