be knows by the public. The
deposit has been located for three
or four miles west of Pilot Knob
and that end of the great de-
posit is promising ground, and,
on a certain theory of the min
eralizing agency and the condi-
tions under which it acted,
should prove the best ground on
the zone, but that is only a geo
logical conjecture, it's character
is not at present known.
This fault zone that completely
cross-cuts the range was never
probably fault plane but a
zone proper, q belt of consider
able width. that lies between
two ragged and irregular fault
lines ranging from few rods to
1000 feet apart. They probably
started at Ely canon on the east
flank as single line and diver
ged as they extended westward,
and fancy their irregular and
ragged courses are fairly well
marked today by the two east
west lines of contact. between
the lime and the eruptive.
The rack that covered the sur
face at the time of this faulting
is Il limestone of the carbonifer-
Gus series and is reckoned to
have an aggregate thickness of
about 1000 feet. 1t is not one
massive bed, but great number
of beds or strata that differ as
much from one another in com
position as it is possible to do
and still retain the character OF
limestones. They have not been
altered as much as one wonld ex-
pect and have seen none that
are marblized, although those on
the east rim have undergone an
enormous amount of folding and
irregular displacement.
The point to keep in view with
reference to the great copper
deposit is not, simply that the
eruptive which carries the ore
came to the surface through Il
heavy body of limestone which
by chemical reactions would
greatly affect the deposition of
the ore and determine its cOndi-
tion, but equally that this lime is
numerously stratitied in beds of
SO different composition that they
would bend under the lateral
pressure that caused the folding
in very different degrees, thus
forming cavities of greater or
less extent frequently perhaps
miles in length-into which the
eruptive (what miners and
pseudo scientists foolishly call
the "porphyry') may flow il it
has sufficient tluidity, on its way
to the surface, and in which
large and valuable ore bodies
may be found.
The English word these cavi-
ties is cisterh, but in geology
they are called laccolites. A
laccolite is literally Il cistern
filled with eruptive rock. y There
are millions of them in every
mountain range where there has
been much folding and they al
ways occur only in the stratitied
rocks-the sedimentaries-
mainly in the limestones. They
are interesting to the practical
only when they countain mineral
which is but seldom,

A. d. Campton is a pioneer of
White Pine county. He has re-
sided here since 1869 and never
lost faith in the county. He has
always claimed that old White
Pine was one of the richest Of
Neyada's fourteen. Now he is
rcaping his reward for the faith
that was in him. His neighbors
say that he has over 100000 on
the right side of his bank ac-

in sight. Aaron was always

.ELYS GEOLOGICAL
PROBLEM MADE SIMPLE
An Interesting Article from the Gifted
Pen Of Fitz.Mac, on a Subject Full
Of Food for Thought"

Tn the rough outline the geo
,osy of the Ely copper dep.Nsit
appears to be quite simple. The
Egan range in which it occurs
has received more than one re-
eonnaissance study by the U. s.
geological survey, but they have
been extremely brief and cur
sorry. and none of them has ever
touched upon our great copper
deposit. The range as charted
ON the reconnaissance map which
accompanies Sparr's Bulletin
POS, Descriptive Geology, as con-
sisting mainly of rocks OF the
carboniferous age with small
portion of granular eruptive.
The Egan is north-south
range of moderate elevation
that courses across White Pine
county near the center. The
great copper deposit lies in an
east-west fault zone that extends
from foothills to foothills, a dis
tance of about twelve miles, and
is mineralized the whole distance,
though the more valuable part OF
the deposit is not at present gen
orally reckoned as more than
seven miles in length, and my
own estimates for the newspa-
pers on the extent of the de-
posit have adopted $4,000 feet
as the length-this quite arbi-
trarily and without and reason
except the desire to render the
astounding and unparalleled
volume of the deposit halfway
believable by keeping the dimen-
sions as low as possible.
This fault zone occurs in a low
part of the range and constitutes
Il pass that is traversed by the
wagon road and stage line to
Eureka and has for nearly forty
years been the most travelled
road in the county, though pre-
vious to that the most travelled
road was the old overland stage
and pony express route which
crossed the Egan range through
the famous Egan canon, near the
gold camp of Cherry Creek,
fifty miles north from Ely,
Ely, the county seat, is located
at the eastern base of the range
within q few rods of the east
end of the Ely canon, a deep,
narrow, crooked detile that lets
into the interior of the range
and constitutes the east end of
the fault zone.
The Egan range has in general
q asyniclinal character and at this
point that character is very dis
tinct 80 that the range here con-
slsts of an east rim and west
rim and an interior basin. The
east rim, bold and rugged, is
deeply cut by Ely canon which
Is the drainage outlet of the in
terror basin. The west rim is
lower and less rugged and !e not
cut by any drainage outlet, but
tne wagon road crosses a divide
AZ Pllot Knob, eleven miles west
OF Ely, and at an elevation above
Ely OF about 1,5O0 feet-perhaps
not over 1900. The grade of
the road thence to Ely is moder-
ate.
Pilot Knob is the center of the
deepest developments on the de-
poslt, and, so far as rumor may
o., oe credited, of the richest ore.

ments against the Atchison, Topeka

of course what a disturbance was
raised over the failure of the
Department to prosecute former
president Paul Morton then
Secretary of the Navy and Vice
President Ripley for the A,chison's
part in this rebate performance.
1t was openly said that the failure
t. prosecute was because Mr..
Morton was an official of the
government and close friend of the
President. Now the Department,
of Justice points out that it was the
two corporations involved who were
the offenders and not the individual
officers who permitted such
practices. So the Department ha:
turned over all the evidence in it:
possession TO the District Attorney
in New Mexico and preparation:
are being made to prosecute the
cases with a great flourish o.
trumpets. OF course the two
corporations will feel great remorst

of both parties. The moment the
letter accepting the first offer was
posted the contract was complete,
even although the acceptance never
reached the offerer. Nearly alt
questions of validity of contracts
by mail and telegraph may
be answered by bearing in mind
that the contract is comple etc
the moment the letter accepting the

II must be borne in mind that the
posting of the letter of acceptance,

be such posting or sending as puts
the communication practically out
lof the control of the SENDER; fer
instance. il the acceptor write his
etter OF acceptance and place il in

senger, other than postman or ac-
credited agent of the postoffice
department, he has not thereby
made the acceptance complete until
his messenger has placed the letter
in the postoffice box, or the post

so that if one write letter OF ac-
