SILVER ORES IN THE
SAN JUAN MOI NTAINS

United States Geological Survey
One of the most interesting mining
regions in the state, scientifically,
historically and geologcally speak
ing, is that including the San Juan
mountains in Southwestern Colorado,
which contains Silverton, Telluride.
Ouray, Rico and other mining towns.
In these mountains are the Camp
Bird mine, Smugger- Union, Liberty
Bell, Tomboy. Yankee Girl, Sunny
side Silver Lake Enterprise and other
well known gold and siver mines.
some of which have yielded also
much lead.
Many of the ores Of the San Juan
mountains contain minerals that are
rich in silver and the question has
often been asked: Were those miner
ais formed by water, that percolating
downward, collected the silver from
the upper part Of the vein and re-
deposited il at n lower level, or were
they formed by the hot ascending
waters from which the ores were orr
gianlly deposited
II formed by the first process, the
rich silver ores would represent the
downward enrichment af a compara-
lively Iow-grade vein and would
be confined to its upper part. II form
ed by the second process, the rich
silver minerals might continue to as
great a depth as any other of the ore
minerals.
1t was therefore important to de-
ter1nine, if possible, the process by
which the rich siver-bearing minerals
were formed. This problem was
studied by E. s. Bastin of the United
States Geological Survey, whose re-
port has recently appeared as Bulle-
tin 735-D, "Silver enrichment in the
San Juan Mountain, Colorado" and
can be obtained by applying TO the
Director, U. S. Geological Survey,
Washington, d. C.
Mr.. Bastin finds by microscopical
and chemical study of the ores that.
though some of them were formed by
downward enrichment, others were
deposited originally in the vein and
may therefore occur at depths far
below the bottom limit of enrichment.
This discovery is decidedly encourag-
