Show THINKS HE HAS SOLVED PROBLEM OF THE FAULT MAKING for forty years or more mining men geologists and other students have theorized deducted and cogitated regarding the ultra puzzling conundrum of cf the wood river fault says the hailey idaho news miner G C eastman of muldoon has what he considers a reasonable solution of the problem after spending five years in the wood river mining district studying conditions and causes for the wood river fault and in the inspection of fifty or more properties he submits sketches maps and data in support of the following theory the lava flow of the craters of the moon resulted in the th e wood river fault by creating a subterranean cavern and this lava and part of that of snake river is a slag dump of the wood river ore deposits mt hindman and vicinity settled into the cavern caused by this flow thus causing b the fault the yellowstone Yellow national park is the vent for present accumulating gasses below the sawtooth saw tooth range the present dip of formation southerly proves that the base of mt hindman has not been greatly disturbed but the top received the maximum action tilting it to an angle of 40 hegrenes in a southerly direction 1 I was fully convinced of this settling theory said mr eastman when I 1 found lava on the north of mt V hindman this mountain came near being a crater this and other indications shows that hailey and vicinity were at one time about feet higher than at present the permanent formation was perpendicular and during the tilting movement a tremendous slide was caused similar in action and effect to a this is witnessed by a voluminous heap of 3 distinct different formations to the north of this mountain had there been a more gradual movement these formations would have been in in a more jumbled condition As it is the path behind this mass is perfectly smooth showing sudden action of great force the strike of this shows a downward movement and present igneous formation float on top of it is identical that on top of mt hindman from which this slide broke away if the top of this zone met resistance first then the ores below the fault must have been shot ahead by br the arc W be sought ih t for in in the momentum and they must soua direction the slide was moving but if the bottom bott oin wn where the the heavy ores were carried met resistance first then top shot ahead and the ores must be sought for in in the appo ow ite direction from which the slide was moving or rather ran behind the slide found int in m t the minnie moore ore bodies will be hanging b walls in folds just as they were found in in the the higher first levels this is due to a series 0 of f settlements after there shocking of this vast settling of masses of mountains V art are evidences too of this vast ore body being swung ate te way around during the settlement the enor these gran ore bedding planes and the extensive dyke have held heldon it he bodies at a greater depth than any other ore body be accod de wood river district and should consequently the in danied by less hazardous exploration financially amt accessibility of muldoon from a transportation tra discover I 1 aul bully will prove no barrier as soon as mining met men y now truth in the systematic they are posing |
