Particularly Those Ores That Are
Found at Shallow Depth.
AN ENGINEERS VERSION
Thinks Veins in South America Similar
to Nevada and Colorado Veins

In the Cordilleran regions, as
we'll as elsewhere in the worldy
veins containing gold with much
silver, and more subordinately,
lead, zinc and copper, are found
in flows Of volcanic origin, says
Waldemar Lindgren, in Chicago
Mining World.
In very many cases the geolog-
ical conditions enable us to say
with considerable certainty that
these deposits have been formed
at relatively slight depth below
the surface, say from a few hun
dred to 1000 or 5000 feet below
the actual surface of the ground,
at the time of mineral deposition.
Among these are, for instance,
most of the veins of western
Nevada, the San Juan region of
Colorado, Cripple Creek and a
great many ore deposits of Mex
leo. They have been described
under the head of propylitic gold
and silver veins, fiuoritic gold tel
lurium veins, and in part also
under sericitic and kaolinitic
veins, and sericitic and calcitr
veins.
These deposits are closely re-
lated to the sericitic and calcitic
veins formed at greater Depths
An unknown line Of transitions
between them may in fact be
found, but at the same time veins
formed at slight depth possess
certain characteristics of their
own which will be briefly de-
scribed. They have been refer
red to by Prof. Vogt and others
as younger VEINS" in contrast
to the "older veins" In descrip-
tions of metallogenetic provinces
age may be suitably employed as
a principal subdivision.
| Gold and silver values prevail,
though compared to the deep
seated veins with quartz gangue'
there is more silver, and the
native gold is, as a rule, present
in much more finely divided form.
Pyrite, galena, zinc btende, ehals
copyrite, arsenopyrite, agenite
and stibnite are the prevailing
ore minerals, but more complex
sulphides, sulphantimonites and
sulpharsenites, such as ruby
silver, stephanite, polybasite, etc.. /,
are more abundant than in deep
seated veins. In part their pres
ence may be due to a secondary
enrichment by descending solu-
tions, but opinions do not as yet
agree regarding all Of these oc-
currences.
Of gangue minerals quartz pre-
walls, but it is here often accom-
panied by chalcedony, opal or
other forms of silica. Calcite
and dolomite are moderately
abundant in the vein filling,
) while siderNe occurs more rarely.

. locally. Magnetic and specular-
7 ite, as well as the whole line OF
the siicates belonging to the
greater depths of formation, are

: occurrence. On the whole, as
may be expected near the sur
face, the filling of open cavities

Can Be Made a Scheme for Those
Ignorant Of Mining.
THE USE OF AN AD1T
Particularly Adapted to Drain Tunnels
in Wet Mines.

Tunnel schemes are lure for
those ignorant of mining, says
Mining and Scientific Press. Men
of experience look at them as
kance. An adit that is planned
to drain wet mines, like the Sutro
tunnel, or one that is to serve as
an artery for a large output of
known ores, like the Ontario, the
Cowenhoven, or the Yak tunnel,
is a sound piece of engineering.
But the idea of driving a long
crosscut into the heart of crea-
tion to cut lodes discovered at
surface has been tried again and
again without success.
The most insiduous of such
schemes is that which is planned
to tap veins already worked in
mines now abandoned, with the
expectation of finding ore richer
than that discovered near the
surface. If the vein peters out
at fifty feet, or if it is poor at a
hundred feet, it is neither sound
logic nor sensible mining to spend
a lot of money in order to tap it
at 1000 feet. Of course, if you
make drawing and represent a
number of veins as proceeding
downward uninterruptedly into
The bowels of the earth, and then
draw a horizontal line to repre-
sent the proposed adit, it does
look as if you would have lots of
mines-on paper. AS a matter
of fact, this sort of thing is the
most Elusive of all the imagina-
tions conjured by the glamor of
gold. But it serves to bait the
. Circulars of irresponsible promot-
ers.

A Second Conan Doyle.

Hugh Skinner is the name OF a new American
author who has written series of stirring stories
that rival in interest the weird narratives OF the
English master detective and have the added value
of being vivid portrayals of American life on the

tell of the wild free life of the plains OF the ad-
vance guard of civilization in a new regions; OF
scouts, surveyors, hunters, railway builders, adj
venturers, outlaws
His portrayal of character is vivid and original.
It is the breezy life of the frontier town that is de-

wide-awake stories which depict stirring life OF
special type, with mysteries, the solution of which
must engage the keenest of WITS should not fail to

Buy plants, vines, shrubbery and fruit
trees for your yards, gardens and orchards
that are acclimated. This we find the best
rule. The editor of the Banner has for
several years past bought flowers, bulbs,
etc., from JOS. w. Vestal & Son, of Little
Rock, Ark. They have always been as
represented, and thrive well in our climate.
Our experience is that Vestal Son always
strive to do little better than they promise
and you can depend upon them for liberal
and satisfactory treatment in every way.
