SECONDARY
ENRICHMENT

The secondary enrichment Of ore
deposits by the oxidation of the ores
of the sulphide zone, and the repre-
cipitation of the minerals under con.
ditions which were favorable to their
redisposition, ut lower levels, has
come tn be- accepted as u fact, but
there are instances wherein IL IL
difficult tn account for the extreme
richness of some of the ore found In
tho zone Of enrichment The phe-
nosena have been chiefly studied
with reference to the copper deposits
of Butte, Montana, which appear to
offer the most tangible evidence to
support this really rational theory.
II WAS recognized for many years,
before the secondary enrichment"
theory took definite shape, that the
iron aossan Of many copper bearing
deposits had been deprived, to u
great extent, Of the copper contents.
aud that In many instances, beneath
tho "iron hat" WAS found u zone of
rich carbonate aud oxide ores Of
copper, beneath which again WAS an
enriched suiphide zone, In which the
ores were usually 'glance" aud
similar minerals with high values In
silver or gold, or both.
II WAS realized or believed that
these rich zones were the relult of
the precipitation of ores from the
oxidized surface portions. but the
secondary enrichment theory, as
now generally understood, had not
yet been offered to account for these
occurrences. In most cases where
the secondary enrichment Of copper
ores had occurred the amount Of
superficial ore which has been
lesched has evidently been sufficient
to furnish sll the copper found In
the xone Of enrichment.
There are, however, other deposits.

DRIVE LONG TUNNEL
ON GOLDEN WIZARD

j. NJ. McPhee, manager of the
Goloden Wizard Mining and Milling
company, returned today from
Tacoma, whel. ho went with DR.. l..
o. Miller, of Ihree Rivers. Michi-
gan, president of the company,
week ago to attend the annual
stock holders meeting. With the
exception of two new directors
elected to take the places of X. Frary,
Michigan, and &. f. Peterson. of
Tacoma, who has moved to Rayomnd
temporarily and could not serve on
this account, the officers are the same
as before. The new directors are c.
+. Owen, of Tacoma, mine inspector
for Washington. and DR.. McOmber,
of Berrier Springs, Michigan.
The officers are as follows: DIR.
l.. O. Miller, Three Rivers, presi-
dent; A. II. Gardner, Three Rivers,
vice president; "A. H. Banker, Three
Rivers, secretary aud treasurer; j.
NJ. McPhee, of Sumpter, general
manager. These with the two named
form the directorate.
The minutes of a meeting which
was held in Michigan just before DIR.
Miller came west were read and other
important business transacted. The
stock holders have concluded to make
surveys for a tunnel at some point
on Stovepipe gulch. where sufficient
depth can be obtained and drive
tunnel to drain the heavy flood Of
water from the mine. This tunnel
will take some twelve to fifteen
months aud when completed will
give plenty of backs to last the mill
u number of years. Consequently
1t was decided to dispose Of the sink
lug plant now ut the mine and turn
this money into tunnel work.
DIR. Miller left for Michigan after
the adjournment Of the meeting.

1t is now we'll known fact,
long since established that the normal
ore of the lead silver mines of that
district are low grade pyritous ores,
containing an abundance of zinc
sulphide and some copper sulphide,
aud that the normal ore, with a few
exceptions, Is now in silver. On
Fryer hill there was not enough ore

amount of silver, mostly as the
secondary products of the alienation
Of silver sulphide, must have been
derived from below, not necessarily
from the ore lying In the immediate
neig hborhood of the rich superficial
deposits, but more probably from
solutions which continue to rise from
great depth. and which supplied the
ore found In the normal deposits.
There IL no evidence, In fact, that
these solutions are not still rising,
