Vast Crack In the Earth.

The second largest crack in the earth
IN the United States has been discoE-
cred in a remote part Of the Teriingua
quicksilver district, about ninety m'les
south Of Marathon, Tex, according 10
pr. William b. Phillips, formerly direc-
tor of the State mineral survey, VINO
is now operating quicksilver mines In
that section. DR.. Phillips says that
this wonderful crack is fourteen miles
long and is at no place under 700 feet
wide. 1t is 1900 feet deep. The walls
are almost vertical.
So far as known no exploration or
the crack has ever been made. The
country where it is found has an alti-
tude of 5000 feet. 1t is believed that
an exploration of the crack may re-
veal rich minerals, particularly quick
silver.
The search that has been made re-
Gently for quicksilver prospects in tn.
section has brought to light other iEtcr-
esting geological wonders. 1t is re-
ported by DR.. Phillips that fifty es"

A number of rich quicksilver mines is
being operated in the district and prep
arations are being made to develop
many other promising prospects. DR.
