lei TO the contact in the sedimentaries

Second Fault Series.
OF the second series of faults, but
three were noted. These veins represent
sharp. narrow, almost vertical faults.
seldom if ever being so wide that it
would be impossible for one to reach
from the foot to the hanging wall. Their
filing is essentially calcareous. and tine
trace of metaliferous mineral found in
them is mostly galena. These later
faults cut across the red zones of brec-
citation. and at such intersections there
is usually a widening. In the southern
part of the district one of these faults
cut across the Washington ore body
causing some delay in the development
of that part of the mine.
In the north part of the district~but
one OF these faults was noted. IL IL
upon this fiSsure. whose surface show
ing is better than that of the other two,
that the Indian Queen property is To-
Gated. Nothing great is expected of
this assure in and of ITSELF but its in
tersections with some half-dozen wide
zones of brecciation are expected to be
centers of important ore bodies. This
theory has not been tested in the dis
trict as yet. but the active manner in
which Uncle Jesse Knight is pushing
work on the main tunnel which follows
the assure will soon give ample evil
dence of its worth.
One of the retarding features of the
district has been the almost entire alb
sence of water. Samuel Newhouse
pipes water nine miles for his Cactus
mill and the city of Newhouse; David
Evans pipes water to the King David
property about six miles, and Uncle
Jesse Knight has a little spring which
he brings three miles through a three
quarter-inch pipe to the Indian Queen
property. Milling has necessarily been
difficult. The only mill in operation is
the one at Newhouse. Two idle mills
stand at the Horn Silver The one is
full of vanners that at one time did
good work. but the other stands idle
in its newness. water soaked and be-
tgrimed with dirt. The mill was planned
to treat by settling the shines of the
Horn Silver dump. An outside COM
pany is responsible for its existence
and its present condition.
Authors of Work All Making Good
Besides issuing the 500 copies dealing
with the above discussion, fourteen
special copies, giving several views of
the district and photographs of nu-
merous rock sections. have been pre-
pared With these fourteen there is
also a supplement of handmade maps
that show the topography, geology and
structure of the district
Viewed from the point as to the
value of such college training in pre-
pairing young men for their work after
leaving school, it is to be said that all
six graduates are now connected with
the mining or engineering profession,
earning salaries varying from $50
month to $4,000 a year. Since leaving
