To Dress Well.

To dress we'll, even when the income

actly how you are going to use it. An

While many gold mines in schis-

ratio character-lenses of quartz
without continuity but succeed
ing each other along a general
course, nearly coincident with the
schistosity of the rocks, there are
other types of veins approaching
assures in their structure in schis-

across either strike or dip, Or
both of the country rock, there
can be no doubt of its character,
but sometimes the stress that has
produced the vein has been such
that the rocks are crsuhed,
flexed and even faulted to q
greater or less extent, thus form
ing a series of lenses or fracture,

show ore bodies said to be greater
than those of the famous Black

stress, as indicated by the crump-
ling of the rocks. This results in
one portion of the vein having
the appearance of a fissure with
walls, while in another portion
the ore is frozen" to the walls,
or there is only a crumpling and
crushing of the fragments of
schist with little or no deposition
of quartz. In some instances the
latter are undoubtedly the result
of movement which has taken
place after the deposition Of
quartz in the vein had ceased.
The Sheep Ranch mine in Cal
averas county, Cal, is of this
type. There are five or more
veins in the property, but the
main Sheep Ranch vein, which
has been developed to a distance
of 1900 feet, with thousands of
feet of levels, is the one here re-
ferred to. The formation in which
this vein occurs is coarse mica
schist of brownish and blush
black color. Where this rock has
been subjected to pressure and
sheaving near the vein the schist
has the appearance of foliated
black slate, which has led some
who has previously described it
into the error Of stating that the
walls were slate. The schist is
cut by dykes of diorite and peg
Matte granite. This vein is, so
far as known, the hanging wall
vein Of the series. 1t is from an
inch or two to three feet in width,
having an average of 18 inches.
Much of the quartz from this
vein was high grade, and gold
could readily be seen in much of
it, particularly in a dark-bluish,
almost black, vitreous quartz, oc-
curing in rolls and lenses where
the formation was much crumpl-
ed. Ordinarily the vein quartz
occurs as a continuous waving
vein, or, aspreviously mentioned,
as a succession of disconnected
lenses. At times the several
stringers and independent accom-
panying lenses disappear, there
being but one vein, and again only
the lenses, or a series of stringers
can be observed. The mine paid
