 so many who will read these lines

 ing there is no need of any apology
 for the repetition, Through the
 entire length of the Patagonia mountains, running in a general
 northerly and southerly direction
 there extends a great dyke of DOT
 phyry, lying between lime and
 granite. The upthrust which in
 the geologic ages forced the great dyke into it's present position, rent
 and Assured both the dyke itself
 and the adjacent lime and granite
 upon either side. Into the Assures
 noted there flowed under great
 pressure strongly mineralized gases and solutions which cooling de-
 posted their contents and impreg-
 mated herewith the adjacent rocks,
 creating in that way the great ore bodies which tempt the cupidity
 and arouse the cunning of man in the colossal work of exploitation
 and extraction of their values. It is, along one of the great Assures
 described that extend the holdings
 of the Queen Bess Company; and the great belt or ledge of porphyry copper strongly impregnated with copper sulphides running through this ground in a N. k. and s. w, direction, mark it as a great de- posiL of the kind that of recent 3 years has cut so remarkable a figure in the copper producing 3 world.
