ORIGIN OF GOLD DEPOSITS

The current theory of the formation
of gold bearing alluvial deposits ASSUMES
that the gold existed originally in the
central nucleus of the earth in the forms
of sulphide and telluride which subse-
quently became dissolved in the water
of hot springs and were deposited to-
gether with gelatinous silica. Thus
were formed veins of auriferous quartz
which, in ailuvial strata containing
particles of consequence of erosion, give
rise to metallic gold.
M. Fieux, however, asserts that the
erosion of outcropping auriferous veins
of quartz does not account for all de.
posts of metallic gold. He finds that
some collaborating strata show no trace
of quartz, but consist wholly of clay
with fragments of diorite or diabase,
and moreover so situated us to preclude
the existence of quartz veins. He has
seen beds of rivers become richer after
every rain, though they show no trace
of quartz. Finally, in certain aurifer-
Gus strata which contains much quartz,
iAoI ~ pti uiSiS vi gnu 10 J'utlNt III
quartz, though some gold occurs in the
diabase which accompanies it.
Hence Fieux concludes that the ero-
sion of quartz veins cannot be the sole
source of aurifcrous aluvial strata and
furthermore, that the almost constant
presence, III these strata, of heavy basic
rocks, containing diorite, amphibolic
schist, and diabasC, indicates that native
gold is one of the subsidiary ingredients
of those rocks.
According to this new theory, there
fore, certain of the heavy eruptive rocks
have carried with them in their crup
ton some of the gold existing in the
metallic state in the central nucleus of
the earth. After reaching the surface
these rocks were oxidized by contact
with the air and eroded by water, which
washed away the lighter materials and
left the heavier, including the gold.
This NJ. Fieux regards as the true
theory of the formation OF gold bearing
alluvial strata, i'll general, the erosion
of quartz veins being only an occasional
cause of the enrichment of those strata.

Attackers Of City.

Rev. G. w. Mcpherson, who In a
speech in New York recently said:
While New York is the wickedest
city in the United States, Chicago is
worse-so bad that it cannot be called
American! it isn't even civilized" is
severely arraigned in bulletin issued
by the Chicago Association of Com
nerce. Referring TO Mr.. Mcpherson,
. the bulletin says: This benighted in
diVidual should be taught that the in
. temperate use of the tongue is more
baneful than the Incorporate use of
alcohol or other drugs that kill; the
latter poisons the individual offender,
while the former cuts and wounds the
reputation of many" The association
then goes on to- set forth facts show
Ing Chicago's greatness and goodness,
its commercial and Industrial re-
sources, its prosperity as. indicated
by its bank deposits and the number
Of wage earners ut work, and it's char
tiles. One of the statements is that
Chicago has 50 hospitals, a larger
number in proportion to population
than any other large city in the coun-
try, notwithstanding it has the lowest
death rate Of all of them"

The NEGROES OF
NEW ORLEANS

The Negroes of New Orleans in
spite of personal jealousy from
within and bitter opposition from
without have combined a sufficient
amount of capital and laoor to
erect for themselves a Knight of
Pythias hall, which cost them in
round numbers a quarter of a mill
ion dollars and the daily papers of
that city unhesitatingly declare
that, it is quite the equal of that
OF the most imposing building in
the city and by the far the most
imposing building owned by black
foik in any other city in the United
States. The edifice is free from
debt save to the stockholders and
that it will be paying institution
to them from the very start of its
existence is a foregone conclusion.
The whole affair was financed by
colored men and the white folks Of
tnat or any other section were not
called upon to put a dollar in it.
1t seems almost preposterous that
men with such ability should be
opposed by the dominant class of
that country in their efforts to he
come better and more progressive
citizens. Opposition to the con,

the unjustifable lynching last
week at Duncan, of a Negro who
was assisting his innocent brother
to escape. The brother was accus-
ed of having killed Policeman
Marshall, of Clarksdale, and is now
in Jail here for safe keeping. 1t
develops that the Negro did not
kill the policeman, but that he was
killed by another policeman who
was firing from the opposite direc-
ton. Gov. Noel has notified the
Sheriff of the county that he will
have the War Department test the
bullet and the pistol of the officer
who is said to have killed the po-
licemap to settle the controversy

dation of the Negro pupils. Re

building is a much better structure
with well equipped teacher. Ne
gro parents have not as yet per-
