The prairie fire was more than creeping.
The breeze had quickened. and by the time
they had assembled to the top of the little
plateau the smoke was rolling up in clouds
over the rise that split the valley in twain
to the south, and here and there serrated
point of flame was peeping over the crest

The colonel urged the horses almost to
gallop. he was no less concerned about Skip
than was his wife, but he saw only too plainly
their own danger as well. And he strove to
soothe his wife's fears, although he could not
still his own.
"Of course some one has given her lift
in his wagon, She is probably safe at home
now." he said
But he kept sharp lookout ahead. and on
either hand as he drove. She might be lying
in some little gully where she had stopped to
rest.
The fire advanced at race-horse speed. The
wind, as hot as the breath from an oven, had
increased almost to- a gale and swept the
The horses swerved from the road and strove
to dash down the valley to where, quarter
of mile away, was the big water-hole in the
creek that the drouth had been unable to dry
up. Colonel BeIknap realized that it would
require the supreme effort of the team to take
them across the valley to safety before the
flames were upon them.
The crackle of the fire was very near now,
and the air was almost sitting. The charred
shreds of prairie grass, as light as down, fell
all about The burning tumble-weeds, rolling
ahead of the onrushing line of fame, set fresh
fires here and there that leaped into volumes
in an instant.
The spirited horses. aware of the danger,
struggled against their bits and fought to turn
toward safety, but the colonel held them to
their course. Skip might be in deadly danger
somewhere close ahead.

This rock varies in texture from COM
pact mass to coarse crystalline aggre-
gate of cinnamon- brown color.
Thick beds of white to gray crystal
line limestones cover portions of the gar
net rock, but their original area has been
greatly reduced by erosion.
An extensive series of metamorphic
rocks also occur, whose greatest devel-
opment is on the west side of the range
where they have a nearly vertical dip
and a thickness of 5000 feet. This series
is uncomfortable with the garnet and
limestone on the western slope and sep
arated from them by fault which has
dropped this latter series into its present
position. These rocks are not as we'll
developed OH the eastern side and their
relation to the garnet-lime series is OBJ
scure.
In composition they range from silici-
fed lines to microscopic aggregates of
tremolite, lime silicates and biotite, and
probably were lime shales and states
originally.
The eastern foothills are covered by

late flows of rhyolite that have no con-
nection with the ore deposition.
The structure is complicated by a sys-
tenn of folding and faulting older than
the granite intrusion, also by faulting
after the naturalization The effect Of
this faulting will be considered later.
Copper ore occurs in the granite rock
as an impregnation throughout portions
of its mass and as richer concentrations
in fractures and shear zones; also as bed
ded veins in the marbleized limestones.
The effect of the folding AMI fractur
ing of the strata previous to the granite
intrusion has been to localize, i'll de-
gree, the deposition of the ore i'll the
garnet rock along these fracture zones,
giving the deposits the appearance of
assure veins filled with chalcopyrite dis
seminated in a garnet or garnet-epidote
gangue, which has a Illuminated structure
parallel to the boundaries of the frac-
tured zone.
On either side of these assures the
garnet rock is more or less impregnated
with chalcopyrite, but separated in some
cases by narrow rib of barren epidote
2 to 3 feet thick.
The lower boundary of the ore is the
granite, as shown in the Bluestone mine
on the eastern side of the range, where
the contact is we'll exposed; chalcopyrite
in garnet-epidote gangue resting on
the barren intrusive rock.
The marbleized limestone which, in
places, covers the garnet rock, contains
bedded veins filled with oxidized copper
ore i'll quartz and calcite gangue.
At water level, which in one case oc-
ours at a depth of 500 feet, pyrite and
chalcopyrite begin to appear, replacing
the oxidized ore
The mines have not been sufficiently
developed to show the relation of the
ore in the limestone with the ore of the
garnet shear zones, but that there is
some connection is very probable.
The original minerals of the ore de-
posts are chalcopyrite and pyrite which
have been oxidized and leached, forming
in the upper enrichment zone, malachite,
azurite ahd chrysocolla and covellite as
coating, or chalcoyprite i'll the upper
sulphide zone. Bornite and chalcocite
occur as secondary sulphides in few
instances.
These ore occurrences can be classed
as ontact-metamorphic deposits, but
differing from the ordinary type in
which the ore occurs as irregular masses
near the contact; this difference being

GENESIS OF COPPER DEPOSITS OF YER|NGTON
By E. P. jennings

The ferington copper deposits in
Lyon county, Nevada, 40 miles south
east OF the famous Comstock lode, pre-
sent many interesting features, both
from commercial and geological view
points.
The Mason valley mountains, in which
the mines are located, are small north
south range about rs miles long and 3 to
miles wide, with maximum elevation
OF $500 feet above sea level and 1000 feet
above the valley of the Walker river.
The core Of this range is intrusive
granite, exposed in the higher peaks
and III the deeper canyons where the
erosion has been greatest, but covered
by metamorphosed sedimentary strata on
both the eastern and western slopes
Late rhyolite flows occur along the east
ern base of the mountain.
The intrusive granite is a coarse
grained mixture of feldspar quartz,
hornblende and biotite, becoming por-
phyritic in structure near the contacts.
Resting on this granite are beds of
rocks several hundred feet in thickness
composed of the lime-alunlina garnet
grossularite, graduating into andralite
by the partial replacement of the alumina
and lime by iron.
