Mining
is a
Practical
Business.
True Fissure Veins
and Mineralized Zones
[From the Mining and Scientific Press. I

OF the character here referred to
has often been accounted for or
the assumption that these masses
have fallen into the fissure from
the hanging wall, and in the case
of simple fissure veins the appear
ance of a horse" in the vein has
frequently been ascribed to a
similar cause. In the first in
stance, masses of barren rock
occurring in a broad zone of min
eral undoubtedly represent mas
ses of the original rock which
have, to a great extent, escaped
the crushing due to the pressure
and movement which has fissured
and crushed the surrounding
mass, and being thus practically
unaltered is consequently better
able to resist the decomposing
influences of the mineral solutions
and remains as a barren mass of
the original rock. In the second
case the fissure has simply divid-
ed and the movement of the walls
has crushed the rocks along its
course, and subsequently the
minerals have been deposited in
the zone Of crushing, or in part
in an open fissure, leaving the
inclusion of barren wall rock as
horse" in the vein, surrounded
by mineral.
The type of vein formation
known as comb structure" often
illustrated in text books, is of
comparatively rare occurrance
and of limited extent-s sometimes
existing as a series of lenses,
pitching and swelling and indi-
eating clearly the extreme rarity
of the very extensive open fissure,
The conditions under which ore
deposition has occurred and the
subsequent alteration of the orig
inal deposit resulting in the i'm
poverishment of one portion and
the enrichment of another, are
being studied more thoroughly
than ever before, and the theories
of ore genesis are undergoing
many radical changes, with a de-
clded tendency toward more
rational solution of the various
problems presented. Thus far
the deepest and most profitable
mines are not opened on simple
issure veins, but on beds of con-
glomerate or other fragmental
rock, and on broad zones of min
eralization which presents no
suggestion of the simple true
fssure" vein.
Mining is thoroughly practi-
cal business and is not usually
carried on to demonstrate scien-
tltlc theories, but incidentally the
study of vein formation, as ex-
posed in mine workings, is both
interesting and necessary to the
greatest success, and speculation
and investigation as to the prob
able genesis of the vein or deposit
is of interest. In this connection
what may be expected of veins
at depth exceeding 5000 feet is
becoming a matter of Importance
as there are numerous mines ap-
preaching this depth on the vein
in several of the mining districts
in the United States.
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-11-12

An important question which
arises in connection with the ex-
ploitation of every mineral vein
which extends into the earth is,
to what depth will the vein pay?
1t is generally assumed that sup
erfcial deposits, and those veins
and deposits which approach the
horizontal in position, will offer
no material change in mineralog-
ical or physical character which
will radically influence the COM
mercial side of the proposition,
and that these factors will remain
practically constant, but in the
case of deposits and veins which
decend to great depths it is diff
ferent. There is no prejudice in
favor of fssure veins, as com
pared with all other types of
mineral deposit, but that such
bias is warranted by the known
characteristics of the simple So
called "true-fssure" vein is not
apparent. An investigation of
the facts leads to the conclusion
that the simple fssure vein is no
more reliable and no more pro-
ductive of great values and profits
than many other forms of mineral
veins and deposits. Fissure veins
are often traceable along the sur
face for great distances-many
thousands of feet, and in some
instances for several miles-but
deep mining has not proven that
fissures of this character can be
depended upon to go to depth in
any degree -approXimating their
length.
Another important feature of
fissure veins in great depth is
their tendency to split up into
several veins or to form zones
of naturalization which can no
longer be considered as simple
assures. The greatest mineral
deposits and veins are not SIM
pie fissures, but broad zones of
naturalization, due to the crush
ing, shearing and alteration of
rocks subjected to severe COM
pressive stresses and their subse-
quent naturalization by infiltra-
tion of mineral solutions, which
deposit their contents in the in
terstitial spaces and often substi-
tute mineral atoms for those OF
the original rock mass. Those
broad zones of naturalization
often have lily defined walls, or,
at least, but one wall, and where
two distinct walls do occur a con-
siderable distance apart, investi-
cation usually discovers sufficient
evidence to warrant the belief
that those walls represent but
two of a possibly great number
or series of parallel assures with
in the zone of fracture and move
ment. Often these interior fis-
sures result in giving the vein E
banded appearance, which ir
some cases has been mistaken fol
a successive series of dispositions
upon the walls of an open fssure
or crevice-a condition improb
able, if not physically impossible
upon a large scale.
