MUCH MOISTURE IN
NEVADA MOUNTAINS

Observer II. F. Alps OF the Reno
weather bureau has issued the fol-
lowing report for the week ending
March Z:
The last week was mostly cold and
windy with deficient sunshine. II was
| unfasorable for lambs and other
| young stock. There were only two
DAYS with normal temperature, the
Sd and 9Th, the latter being clear.
warm and pleasant. There was much
cloudy and partly cloudy weather.
but the precipitation was light.
Reports Of deep. well packed snow
come from all mountain districts
which supply water for Nevada
streams. The observer at Winnie
mucca reports considerable more
snowfall on adjacent hills on the
4th and 5th. The depth Of snow on
the ground AT Eureka, Arthur and
Hylton was is inches and the depth
on the ground at North Fork and
Gold Greek was 81 inches. In the
vicinity of Montello the roads are
blocked for automobiles and there Is
much ice IN the ground.
Stockmen are still feeding cor te
sheep in the s-now-covered regions o.
the northeast portion. Heavy feed
ing of hay continued during the
week. Losses in sheep and cattle
were light, but losses in range horses
were heavy. Sheep were doing well
on desert ranges in the south por-
ton and the range was improving
Forage is getting green and cattle
are gaining in the Beatty district.
Floods are probable at places liz
the Humboldt basin in case of a rapid
change to warm weather. because OF
the heavy snowfall at low elevations.
Greater than normal precipitation
has been recorded at all mountain
stations during the winter months
and ample water for irrigation Is ex-
pected in all agricultural districts.

IMMENSE B9RAX FIELD
N SOUTHERN NEVADA

Deposits Of CoIemanite thydrous
calcium borate1. a source of boraN
and boric acid, have been discovered
IN two areas in the muddy mountains.
Clark county. Neyaya, n in White
basin. the other near Callville wash.
These deposits are remarkable moi
only because they are the first vlaua-
bic deposits of this mineral found
outside of California but because the
geologic structure of the rocks in
which they occur is SO simple as TO
permit a study of the origin of the
metal.
Colemanite was first discovered In
this region in the White basin, east
OF Muddy peak. and the first locations
were made by John Perkins of St
Thomas, New, in the fall of 1920.
Stimulated by this discovery W. 9th
or p~rospectors. F. NJ. Lowell and
George Hartman, after a few weeks
OF clever scientific prospecting. found
a much larger deposit near Callville
wash. Nevada. They at once solo
their claims 10 F. N. Smith. the pic
neer bqrax operator. for S250,000.
This deposit lies on the north limb
of a downward fold, which forms a
troughlike depression more than a
mile long and nearly a mile wide
The bed or vein" Of colemanite crops
out along the steep outer slope of the
hogback ridge formed by the eroded
edges of the depressed strata. II Is
exposed so clearly that from certain
points the outcrop is plainly visible
for at least 5000 feet. The bed Is a
great lens, having a thickness in this
distance ranging from ten to eighteen
feet and 1t Is especially noteworthy
for its continuity and regularity. II
is not SO thick as some of the enor-
nous deposits at Furnace creek, Cal
ifornia, but the deposits there and IN
all other producing districts of Cali
fornia are bunchy and broken.
The deposits In Nevada, which con-
sist in large part of massive crystal
line colemanite, lie near the middle
of a set of beds Of the Horse Spring
formation, at least $50 feet thick,
composed chiefly of ~thin-bedded con
cretionary limestone. The coleman
lite is interbedded with considerable
shay material, so that any ordinary
method OF mining would yield thick
masses of the mineral mixfd with
shale. and it will probably be desIra-
ble to concentrate the material by
roasting.
The deposit near Callvllle IL appar-
emily similar in origin to the deposits
in the White basin, although it Is
vastly larger 1t appears 10 be essen
tally n huge spring deposit, formed
in or about a playa by the eyapora-
ton of waters containing mucn boron
and lime
All the colemanite in the Muddy
mountains may have been deposited
originally as ulexite, a mineral con-
tanning sodium, calcium and boron,
but as the waters of the district con
tain an abundance OF lime, as is
shown by the enormous masses OF
~travertine limestone there, most Of
the colemanite vas probably laid
down directly from spring waters
that contained boron. though ulexite
also was probably laid down. Tor some
remains in the deposit.
