JUST STICK TO YOUR JOB

THAT is ADVICE OF HEADS OF
ARMoUR's AND MARSHALL
FIELDS.

Stick to your bush, If you contem-

a seemingly better one just around
the corner, hearken first to the ad-
vice proffered by two men who
have just risen from the ranks. to
combined control of an estimated bill

Both +. Edison White and his con-
temporary, James Simpson, began life
sharing mental duties. Simpson was
a $5-a-week office boy. White,
handy lad with cattle around the
slaughter house.

including many of their former bosses
working for them, and have decid-

land of the "go- getters"-easy street.

climbing simultaneously with him.

same day, almost the very hour that
Simpson came into his own, was
named president of Armour & Com

Their rise, purely on merit, has fur

means the triumph of a one-time

Why a Quartz Vein?
f. & NJ. Journal Press.

Not all mineral veins are essentially
,.eins of quartz, but an overwhelming
majority of them are. With these are
other associated minerals or gangues
as we term them minerals that go
with" the ore.
While our spelling of gangue I'M
doubtedly connects it with the French
word gangue. which corresponds to
+be German word gang Ca mineral
vein). vet it may well be an ancient
Anglo Saxon word-the gang which
is marked in the dictionaries obsolete
or Scotch" meaning to go, as to gang
vour own gate" The word hanks
hack to the Anglo Saxon gangan. the
Tcelandic ganga, and to the tongues
of our still more remote ancestors.
This is the derivation that we like
70 think of for gangue, as something
that goes with" the ore. but it Is not
the ore itself; It is the companion of
the Damon to its Pythias.
Quartz. then, is the gangue mineral
par excellence. 1t goes with, and is
true companion of, metallic sui
phides and other forms of metal. such
as free gold Why this close union
of metals and quartz in veins? We
do of course, find much calcite and
other gangues. such as fluorite and
barite; but they are quantitively in
significant as compared with quartz.
Now when we pass water through
a rock. as when rain water sinks into
the rocks and percolates through them
along cracks and assures, it takes up
lime rather than silica, since lime is
more easily soluble and since nearly
all rocks contain lime. Even granite
will yield up lime to water solution
far more abundantly than it does
silica, since lime is contained in the
dark minerals and in the feldspars,
even in granite. Iron also goes easily
into water solution from rocks, so
that springs which have coursed
through rocks underground before ap-
pearing at the surface deposit iron !
on emerging again to the atmosphere |
forming the familiar type of iron |
bearing, or "chalybeate" springs-car-
rying. however, little or no silica.
When we turn from these considera-
tons to the typical pure white quartz
VEIN containing not much iron or
lime. we wonder how any process of
teaching from rocks or other form of
concentration from rocks by waters
has extracted the silica so neatly and
concentrated it in such purity away
from most of the calcite and iron.
The frequent presence of these other
elements shows that conditions were
favorable for the simultaneous crys-
utilization of silver. lime, and iron, IN
many cases. Indeed, we are at loss
to explain the simple phenomenon Of
quartz veins along any Of these old
fashioned lines of thought.
If, instead of abandoning ourselves
to theoretical reasoning, with the
s.i,os mentioned battling and pe-Picx-
ing lack of success, we go out into
the open and observe attentively the
rocks, we are apt to have better luck

| The crystalline diagrams which illus
trate the case are found to be present
in the rocks in very many localities,
If one observes. One perceives bikes
of igneous rock intrudng older rocks,
egneous or otherwise; some of these
will be light colored and siliceous;
! indeed. some of them consist essen
TALLY of quartz and feldspar, without
mica or other dark minerals. This
light-colored quartz -feldspar rock is
! termed alaskite; 1t may be fine
grained, or apliic, or coarse grained
| (pegmatitic), or medium grained. The
pegmatitic alasdte (alaskite pegma-
tite) is a fascinating thing to observe.
You will find the quartz and the field
spar tending to separate and to group
into different bodies. in different parts
of the same dixie. Then you may find
one with the feldspar clinging to the
walls, and the quartz filing the cen
ter. Then you may find one which
shows the above arrangement at one
place. and at another place it is es-
sentialiy all quartz-the quartz has
collected or segregated in this place
so as to fill the whole space between
walls. So you have, instead of peg
Matte dixie a quartz dixie. You will
find IL difficult to distinguish this
quartz vein we started with as our
topic. and. indeed. there is no differ
ence. 1t is a quartz dixie or a quartz
vein, as you please; or, to join both
terms, a quartz veindike. If you are
a good paner. you may get a few
colors of gold out of this quartz Vein
dike-or you may not. You will more
probably pan out a few grains of sui
phides. most commonly pyrite. Now,
this collection of quartz in one part of
the dixie, and feldspar is another-this
collection, we repeat, may equally be
called segregation, which is another
term for the same thing. The molten
mother fluid from which GRANTEES, or
alaskites, or other igneous rocks have
solidified is called magma. just to give
it a name. Collection together of
like minerals in the magma is magma
collection, or magmatic collection, or
magmatic segregation. Magmatic diff
ferentiation is another term for the
same process, viewed from a slightly
different angle. The alaskite pegma-
tite dixie differentiates into. quartz and |
feldspar bodies; conversely, quartz |
and feldspar bodies segregate from |
the pegmatite dixie. The first process |
is magmatic differentiation; the sec
ond is magmatic segregation; and |
they are the same thing exactly. What |
a simple phenomenon to have had |
such a difficult name tied to it!
SO we come to understand that a
quartz vein Is an igneous phenomenon, !
not the result of teaching and con-
centration by ordinary waters. And |
we finally have light on why the vein |
is quartz; for in studying igneous |
rocks we find that the succession of
injections OF isncous magma &C dikes !
shows in many places the gradual
of silica, to form more |
and more siliceous injections.
