Valuable Information as to
 Mineral Deposits
KNOWLEDGE USEFUL ID MINERS
Description of Deposits VIII be oi Great Help to These Who intend Mining in Any Part of Alaska Where Minerals are Found

Mineral deposits are of various kinds. They may mainly be di- gided into
 ,. Ore-bearing st1ata, or beds.
 !. Veins.
 ,. Ore Chilnncys.
 An ore-bearing stratam is one which is largely or wholly con- posed ot the ore. which is deposited between strata ot rock. These can only occur in q region Of stratifed rocks To this class belong many iron veins. The strata may be up tilted or horizontal. Pockets" of ore are often found limited to a cer- tain stratum of rocks, and are de posits of ore found in the cavities or caves in the rocks. They may be Of almost any size. The word pocket is also applied to a rich spot n any ore deposit
 Veins aIe those deposits where the Courtry-rock has been cleft by Assures, Which have been atterward filled in with an accumulation of mineral matters i'll purer or more concentrated form than that in which they existed previously in ;he rocks. The accumulation has iii all cases taken place subsequent ly to the formation of the Assure, and by slow process either of lat eral secretion or intiltration, by which minerals Ieached out of the country rocks were deposited iu the assure; or, in the case Of the great Assures, by deposit from hot aka line springs coming up through the Assures. The vein filing IS de posted in the latter case by the so- ution, or hot alkaline water, as it 2ools.
 4 contact vein is one in which the vein has followed the joint or contact between two strata of rocks These strata may be eithe- horizon fal or inclined at any angle. The hanging wall and too. wall are ire quently O! different characters.
 Ali Core chute is part of vein, of small lateral extent, bat continuing downward through the vein, winch is larger or better filled with ore than most of the vein.
 Another and less frequent mode of deposit is that in the form of an ore chimney" where there is ap- parently no Assure, but an almost vertical deposit ot ore without com parativeiy great lateral extent, and without inCiosing walls
 "Fissure veins" are filings of the great Assures produced by movements of the earth's crust. When these Assures are filled at the lime of formation with lava or bar -en rocks by igneous injection, they are called 'dikes;" but if subse- quently, with mineral matter, by deposit from solution, they are 'fssure veins" The distinction between the vein and the wall rock is usually qaite marked, In many eases . . the vein filling is sep arated from the wall-rock by layer of tenaaious clayey matter called a selvage. The selvage is probably formed by decomposition cf he wall rDrlr in immediate Cou

FAIRBANKS SCHOOL ELECTION


 On Monday last the citizens turned out in force to record their votes in the School Board election. Nearly 500 persons went to the polls, and the result was a victory tor the ticket with tue business" label. A feature of the election was the strong vote cast by the la dies.
 The count commenced about 8 o clock and lasted for nearly three hours. The successful candidates were as follows: W. H. Adams, director; Theodore Johnson, treas ufer; J <, Sale, clerk.

CONTAINS MANY USEFUL HINTS
Which Might Be Followed to Advantage by All Who Hope to Make a Success of Quartz Mining in This Country In the Future

The suggestions to prospectors which follow were drafted by Prof. Clayton, the well-known mineralogist:
 1. Examine the gravel and
 bOulders of the mountain streams and note carefully the structure and character of the gravel wash. This will reveal the geological formations that are intersected
 by the stream. Try the sands at the head of the gravel bars for free gold. or for any crystalized minerals. If the structure of the quartz boulders or other vein stones Is favorable, go up the stream until the geo logical zone is found that has produced the quartz or other metal-bearing minerals. Then follow the metal bearing zone on its line of strike, and make es- pecially careful examinations wherever eruptive dykes are found intersecting the formation.
 ,. When lode or vein is found, note carefully it's relation to the country rock, especially
 any difference in the opposite walls of the vein Then follow it on the line of outcrop, and note carefully those points where the best ores are seen, so
 as to determine the position of the best ore chutes before mak-
 ing any location on the lode.
 5. The first work should con
 sist of shallow cuts across the lode at intervals of 30 to 100
 feet, or if the vein is small and partially covered by soil and
 debris, a trench along the
 line of outcrOp is preferable.
 Ii the surface tracing is satisfac-
 tory, and the true line of line of strike has been determined, then survey your claim and stake off
 the boundaries according to the requirements of the United States laws.
 I. The work of exploring the vein under ground is the next
 thing in order. To do this in telligently, you must select that point on the line of outcrop where the best ore is found, then sink a shaft on the lode fol lowing the angle of dip, keeping
 both foot wall and hanging wall exposed if possible. If the lode
 is too wide for this to be done then follow the best ore streak of the vein itself, and at every 50 feet in depth make cross cuts to the walls of the vein.
 5 After 100 feet has been reached, run levels each way from the shaft on the line of the vein, in order to determine the extent or spread of the ore chute or chimney in the horizon tai line When the limit of the ore body on the horizontal line has been ascertained, then sink lO9 feet more, and drift right end left as before. If more than one chimney of ore is found on the line of the vein, a shaft should be sunk on it, and drifts run as before stated, being care ful to cOnine all the exploring work within the walls of the vein itself
 6. When enough has been done to prove the character, size and quality of the vein, it will then be time to determine the position, character and extent of the 'dead-work" necessary to work the mine to the deep. These questions should be set tied by careful surveys made in the light of all local facts and surroundings, such as the geological structure of the cOun- try rock, the probable amount of water to be raised, the lowest point of drainage by adit or level,

would bee necessary TO accom-

A sensation was caused in the Circuit
Court at Natchez when Judge Wilkinson,
who is presiding, said to Depnuty Sher-
1T Ryan: Get me some young men for
this jury. | want to stretch the neck
of this negro" This statement was
made by the court in connection with
the trial of Thornton Green, Il negro
charged with murder. 1t was overheard
by a number of witnesses, among whom
were included Messrs. Scott Dorsey and
+. II. Ratcliif, Jr., counsel for the de-
fendant. The courts remark was fol-
lowed by a motion on the part of Mr..
Ratcllf to reject the five men selected as
jurors according to Judge Wilkinson's
instructions on the ground that the
Judge had dictated to the sheriff the
character of men to be selected for Jury
service. The motion was overruled by
the court. Judge Wilkinson admits
making the statement. but contends that
he said it merely as Il joke.
