CONCENTRATES.

The first gold mining done in the
United States was probably in Georgia,
Is early as 1926. The discovery of gold
bearing quartz is said to have been
made by two English peddlers, who
found specimen rock on land now
owned by the Columbia Mining COM
pany in McDuffie county. 1t is said
chat single individual bought up
large tract of land in the gold region at
that time; but having no knowledge of
mining and failing in the first attempt,
discontinued investigation, and the land
has never yet been properly prospected.
The secondary enrichment of mineral
veins and ore deposits is not equally
pronounced in every district. 1t seems
most commonly to occur in connection
with copper and lead ore. Pockets (ac-
cu1hulations) of gold in veins and in
tersecting seams in rocks, such as occur
in scores of places in California, are
probably the result of secondary enrich
ment, or localization of mineral deposi-
ton. Some veins producing rich
punches or pockets of gold carry little
or no gold short distance away from
the rich segregation. Other pocket
veins carry a low grade of gold rock in
shoots, the same as gold-bearing veins
generally, the pockets being incidental.
Some conclusions have been reached
concerning the deposition of ores in
veins, which may be generalized as fol-
lows: Ascending hot-spring watecs,
if metalliferous, may deposit different
ores with a certain order of vertical
distribution. Ascending hot alkaline
waters passing through brecciated zones
or crushed and re-opened veins contain
ing pyrite. react with the iron sulphide
and zinc, lead. copper and silver, il
present, are precipitated as sulphide

deposit gold, silver and copper upor
cooling, in the upper portion of thu
vein.
Precious opals occur throughout tn
world wherever found, in volcanic rock
usually trachyte. The play iridescen
colors is due to internal fractures in tn
mineral and the consequent interference
of light rays. Ordinary opal and semi
opal occurs in various eruptive dixie
and in veins, also in tufts. This variet

Tunnel Law Decision IN Colorado.

The Supreme court Of Colorado rend-
cred last week decision of vital i'm
portance to mining tunnel companies.
1t deals directly and deliberately with
the question of property rights in the
case of Tanner VS.. the Treasury Tunnel
& Reduction company of Ouray, in
volving the right of the company to
tunnel through the property of an in
tervening claimant. The court holds
that the right exists under the law of
eminent domain. The Treasury Tunnel
company desired to bore through the
Corn Cob lode but was resisted. Omit
ting details, the chief justice in rend-
ering the opinion clearly upheld the
right to exercise the power of eminent
domain, for without this power enter
prises of the character contemplated
could be thwarted and the development
of the mining resources of the state
prevented by those owning property
crossing the line of projected tunnel.
The use and benefit of the tunnel will
be in common and all parties located
near it may avail themselves of it as a
public highway. The owners of claims
must be compensated to the full value
of the ore extracted at the point of in
tersection.
Two of the district court of Colorado,
one in Teller county and the other in
Jefferson, two years ago, passed upon
the right of tunnel companies to cross
claims owned by other parties, taking
almost precisely the same position now
taken into account in these matters.
Until this point was finally settled
tunnel companies organized for the
purpose of reaching new developing
properties owned by them in territory
part of which was occupied by others
who refused to cooperate or grant the
right of way through their ground, have
been harassed by injunction suits and
not infrequently by blackmail PROPOSE
tons. Cases are in evidence where
claims have been located across the
line of the tunnel for the express pur-

them at exorbitant figures.
The benefit to the intervening claims
when cut by the tunnel is manifest. Il
