SURVEY REPORT ON
Recent new YORK EARTHQUAKE

The recent earthquake in New
York, so far as Tan be decided from
information now at hand, was strong
est in the northeastern part of the
state and less intense in all directions
from that section, according to a
statement by Arthur Keith, of the
United States Geological Survey, who
has made a special study of the ge-
illogical history and structure of the
Appalachian Mountain region. AS
earthquake shocks are regularly
weaker outward from a center, the
area of greatest intensity at the sur
face is nearest the point of origin,
although this point probably is not
at the surface. The earthquake CEN
ter therefore, appears to be in or
north of northeastern New York.
Earthquake shocks are caused by
the breaking and moving past each
other of great masses of rock in the
earth's crust. Rocks are more or
less elastic, particularly crystalline
dHu lSHeOuS TOChS like SIdIlte, anu
they transmit shocks for very long
distances. Rocks in the earth's crust
are always in a state of strain, and
release from this strain by a fracture
causes a displacement and rebound
that may be violent. Even at the sur
face of the earth this movement is
continually noted in quarries when
new layers of stone are set free,
and it is still stronger in the depths
of the earth. When the strain final
ly exceeds the strength of some of the
rocks thek and snap, and there is
an elastic rebound from each move
ment. This causes the lesser trem-
blings after the first shock.
Earthquakes are commonly asso-
ciated with faults or riffs, which are
break or fractures in the rock crust
along which the rocks move past one
another. Some faults are character
lied by repeated motion along a given
plane or narrow zone, like that which
caused the San Francisco earthquake.
The vast majority of faults, however,
are practically dead, and no motion
takes place on them because the

WINDFALL NINE HAS AN
EXCELLENT RUNNING MATE

What is generally considered to be
an important new strike was recently
made by Joseph Tametti, a leaser, in
the Peal mine, one of a group of
eight claims owned by Phil ParOni
and Ed Bergman, about four miles
south of Eureka. This group of
claims joins the old Windfall mines.
now owned and operated by the AL
kali Mines company, on the north
west, and the ores found in the Pearl
are said to be almost identical with
those produced from the Windfall
claims.
A streak of high grade carbonate
ore that gave assays of $500 was
first found about three weeks ago.
This soon turned into a sandy
crushed lime that gives an average
assay of eight dollars per ton, mostly
in gold. and a drift is reported to
have been run thOrugh this sandy
formation for some 60 feet. 1t is said
an occasional streak of high grade
black metal is found in these sands
that assays about $16O per ton, with
silver largely predominating.
Large bodies of this sandy gold
ore have been found in the Windfall
group and the present showing in
the Pearl is said to give every indica-
ton of making into an immense ore
body. This sandy low grade gold
ore is an ideal n for working by
the cyanide process, and if the pres
ent find develops into a large ore
body it will mean the construction
of another milling plant and the re-
duction of the ore here.-Eureka
Sentinel.

strain has been satisfied or diverted
into other directions. OF this kind
are most of the old faults in the APP
palachian area, from Alabama to
Canada, including the mountainous
country of the east. Younger faults
are also found in the east, but most
of these are dead and their strains
have long ago been satisfied. The
latest set of faults displaces the
youngest geologic fo%rations, although
their source is in the underlying hard
rocks.
1t is usual to associate earthquake
shocks with the reatest of the faults,
on which the motion is measured in
miles. These, however, are the old
est and the most certainly dead of the
faults, and later and different strains
have acted on their areas and pro-
duced different faults. Neither length
nor great motion on a fault is needed
to make a disastrous shock, as was
plain at San Francisco, where a few
feet of motion caused the ruin. The
factor which makes shocks dangerous
or not is their intensity. and this is
directly due to the rapidity of growth
and vigor of the strain. Quick and
violent strains accompany the growth
and rise of new parts of the earth's
crust, where it is being compressed
until it moves. In the old Appa-
lachian country of the eastern part
of the United States such rise is so
exceedingly slow as to make it's ex-
istence in historic times a matter of
dispute. In any case, it is not now
of the compressive character that
causes lateral or violent movements
and dangerous shocks. Therefore,
while earthquakes are not unknown
in the east, it is exceedingly improb-
able that they will be disastrous.
The destructive Charleston earth
quake of 1886 was east of the Appa-
lachians, in a tract which in recent
geologic time has risen u~nevenly from
the sea as a result of earth strains.
Its effects were especially severe, as
is usual in loose formations like
the sand and clay which prevail in
that district

The Macdonald vein, which was

values, which, however, are not so
pronounced as in the slopes on the

One of our most successful mer-
chants says that unless a man is in
stinctively saving he will find himself
at a sad disadvantage as a store
keeper.
Stopping the little leaks of waste
is one of the most essential elements
in the success of a merchant. Only
a little margin of waste in the hand
ling of goods is necessary in order
ompletely to dissipate the small mar
gin o. profit, leaving the merchant
with only his labor for his pains.
1t is impossible to point to a single
successful merchant or manufacturer
who has not a proper regard for the
value of money and the Importance
of thrift in all business relations.
Any beginner in business who does
not have this thrift instinct or who
does o acquire the habit, will be
handicapped just to that extent in
striving toward the goal of CONNER
cial success.
These are principles that you as
an ambitious employee should take
to heart, because financing yourself
successfully is a presumptive evidence
of your fitness to handle the financial
interests of others and to assume
greater responsibilities. A savings
bank account is a AL recommended
ton, because it indicates so much as
to the character, ability and depend
ability of it's pOssessor.
Then as you help your employers
business to succeed you help your
own chances. AS n large employer
