and Assures occurred that are ev- | anywhere in these ranges around Sa- lome It is therefore reasonable to further assume that where Salome now is was once a volcanic center or crater Along the outer rim of this volcano the uplifts of quartzites, schists and porphyrys ensued, with
 settlements of volcanic lime, mineral ashes and the fluxes. While this great mass of mostly plastic rock
 was settling back into place, a sub
 terranean floor of water invaded the
 crater, and in the explosions which
 followed, the mineralized solutions
 precipitated their values in the widely
 possible magma of the plutonie area,
 and this deposition then settled back
 and slowly cooled off in the sulphide
 base of its water level In this great zone of uniform naturalization, many
 finds of precious metals will be made.
 and somewhere in 1t a large deposit
 of sulphur will be encountered, and
 amid the crystalized states and vol
 caHic muds of the outer flow will
 be found ledge of salt petre. In this
 broad zone of mineral deposition its
 possible for such minerals as cobalt,
 bismuth, uranium, nickel and plati-
 mum to be found, but 1 am too poor
 a geoIogist, mineralogist, metallurgist
 and thermo chemist to attempt to
 identify. It has been many years
 since l left college and am very
 rusty; but those that do know and
 have the means will find many
 sources of information to themselves and the world in the study of this
 most remarkable region
 We will once more take up the
 study of the Calcite group. The
 Rocking Bird claim has a ledge that is at least 100 feet wide that av erages on the surface two to three dollars in gold and one to seven ounces in silver. Some assays run four dollars in gold and two to seven ounces of silver and some lead. The surface indications are very strong for large bodies of silver. lead ore I also noticed some schistOse looking rock and very heavy that l thought might contain platinum in paying quantity. After I had ex- amined the Mocking Bird claim I ex- amined the Banner claim of the Ban ner group. Mir. F.. A. Haggott, the ! well and favorably known mining | engineer, is the superintendent of this | estate. The prospects are most flat | tering on this property, and they | have a wen defined ledge, at least | four feet wide. which will cut an enormous sulphide ore body to the | north, and which outcrops again, hug | ging the quartzite and next to the | lime on the Apex claim of the Cal cite group. MT. Haggott is having a perpendicular shaft sunk on. this lead. and in talking with the gentl- men who have the contract for sink ing it found them to be part own CTS of the Anita group of which I have heard so much.
 The Anita group is about three miles north of the Calcite company's ground and about four miles from the new Ultimatum group, in the They have a siXty-five-foot shaft on the Anita No. ?. They are sinking along the foot wall of ledge which they claim is at least fifty feet wide. They are in sulphides the whole width of the shaft, which averages $5.S0 in gold and one ounce in silver The gentlemen who own this property are Messrs c. s. Barngrover, w. s. Virden, ]. J. Sullivan and Harry Richardson.
 I am assured that there is still con siderable vacant ground near this prop erty; so, you prospectors who think is taken up around here, lad better be getting a move on your selves.
 want to mention few more things n hn inin | ,arth before get side-tracked to other news. The Marcella claim of the Cal ,ite group has a ten-foot shaft on the ,ast side of the same enormous ore body that trayerses the Catherine yround. Apexing occurs of another ode at this point. and has the appear lnce of a cross section. The imma-
