HOW ORES ARE
ENRICHED FOR MAN.
Natures Processes Described In Ee-
port by L. :. Geological Survey,

AS originally deposited, deep in the
rocks, many Of the familiar metals, espc-
ciully copper, lead, zinc, silver, and quick
silver exist as sulphides-that is, as MIA
erals composed of one or more metals
chemically combined with sulphur In
such original or primary deposits the gem
orally worthless iron sulphide, pyTite, Is
likely to predominant, while the more val
liable metals may be present III quantities
too small to be prOiitably extracted
In the course OF geologic ages, however
las the land wears down under the cca. c-
less attack of weather and running water
the primary ore deposit, with its small
proportion of valuable metals, is itself eX-
posed to the force of dlsintcgraUou and
decay that are operating over all lard ~ur-
faces on the globe. Some constituents OF
the disintegrating ore are carried away in
streams some are blown away 10y winds,
and others, particularly some OF Tho met
ais, are dissolved and carried by percolat-
ing rain water down into the earth These
metal-charged solutions. coming into con-
tact with the sulphide minerals in the
rocks. have the chemical proper,y Of
transforming these sulphides into others
more valuable to man. Thus solutions
'
with pyrite, which is a mineral compound
of sulphur and iron. abstract some of the
iron and leave copper in its place. The
bright-yellow. beautiful hut generally use-
less pyrite may be changed, for example
to the less brilliant dark-gray but far
more valuable mineral chalcocite, a sui
| phide of copper. This natural chemical
concentration, whereby, as the exposed
upper portion Of an ore body decays and
is removed by erosion, its valuable con-
stituents are in large part carried down
and added to the portion that remains, is
an exceptionally important process and
one that has played an essential part in
the formation Of many large and highly
productive bodies Of ore.
