minutes for refreshments at Contra
liza, Ill. Down toward the end of the

myself when / saw a comedy young
woman standing close by. OF course,

seat when lady was standing, so ]
politely asked her to be seated and
withdrew. l went around to the

THE ELK MOUNTAIN REGION.

Professor Lake is authority for the
following account of the geological
structure of the Elk Mountain region:
The general geological structure of
the Elk Mountain region is that OF
great fault fold" an anticinal fold or
arch, running generally with the axis of
the range, broken along its crest by a fault
The eastern slope of the fold is gentle,
but the western is very steep, and even
overturned or inverted. In the center
of this fold is a mass of eruptive quartz
porphyry and diorite, which breaks
through the sedimentaries not ouly in
dykes, but also in immense masses form
ing entire mountains, of which White
Rock (diorite), Crested Butte and Goth
ic Mountains of quartz porphyry are
typical. Some of these suggest that
they are remnants of laccolites, those
reservoirs of molten rock from which
the stratas have been removed by
erosion.
and ernptions are post Cretaceous, but
their characteristics show them not TO
be of Tertiary type. The intru sion of
these enormous masses of molten mater
ial, together with the mechanical heat
engendered by the violent folding to
which the region has been subjected
has produced widespread metamorph-
ism of the su rounding rocks, including
the coal which is metamorphosed into
anthracite. This metamorphism, com
bned with other phenomena has made
the region peculiarly favorable for me-
tallic veins.
| The coal forming period, which on the
eastern flanks occurred near the close of
the Cretaceous, appears to have occur
red, on the western slope, at an earlier
date in the same age.
/ The ore deposits in the Irwin and
Ruby districts are of Cretaceous age as
the vein and ore deposits traverse the
Upper Cretaceous rocks and penetrate
the Cretaceous coal horizon.
On Copper Creek, near Gothic, Sc
ries of nearly vertical tissure veins trav-
'erse the eruptive diorite rocks. These
veins are mineral bearing, and at the

The fact that three feet of oil
sand has been passed through in
the Gunnison well at a depth of
$50 feet, is not only very encour-
aging, but clearly demonstrates
that oil certainly exists in this re-
gion, and that a good substantial
flow may be reasonably expected
ed when sufficient depth has
been attained. The Palisade Oil
Co. which has control of this new
enterprise, is pushing the big bore
down as rapidly as possible, and
will soon reach the depth from
which they hope to secure a flow.
Nothing of any value was expected
by the company until the well had
attained depth of nearly 1000 feet,
but as the oil sand through which
the drill has passed contained 90
per cent values, a gusher of the
Beaumont type is likely TO devel-
ope at any time. 1t is not at all
improbable that before the snow
flies, Gunnison will be the center
of an oil producing region, and
derricks will dot the valleys of
Ohio creek and East river the en-
tire distance to Baldwin and Crest
ed Butte. The immense coal beds
found at the southern base of the
Elk mountain range undoubtedly
indicate that if oil exists anywhere
in the Grand river coal fields, it
will be found on the line of drain
age with the great veins of coking
coal that lie in the vicinity of
Crested Butte. 1t is a noticeable
feature of the coal formations in
this district that the greater the
altitude in which the coal is found
the more likely it is to be of the
harder variety. All the veins that
have so far been found in the up
per stratas of the Laramie group,
range from the hard bituminous,
to the best grade of Anthracite.
The Crested Butte coke is known
throughout the west, and is OBJ
tanned from the oldest formation
that has yet been opened in Colo
RADIO for the purpose of mining
coal. These bituminous coal beds
invariably dip to the south from
Is to 20 degrees, and this alone is
that oil exists in the lower forma-
tions.
