The process by which nature forms such accumulations of silver is very interesting:, j ays a bright publication, known as Jfinerah. It must bo remembered that the earth's crust is full of water, which percolates everywhere ev-erywhere through the rocks, making solutions solu-tions of elements obtained from them. These chemical solutions take up small particles par-ticles of the precious metals which they find scattered here and there. Sometimes the solutions in question are hot, the water having hav-ing got so far down as to be set boiling by the iutcrual heat of the globe. Then they rush upward, picking up bits of metal as they go. Naturally heat assists the performance of this operation. Now and then the streams thus formed, perpetually flowing hither and thither below ground, Y pass through cracks or cavities in the rocks, where they deposit their loads of silver. 1 This is kept up for a great length of time, perhaps thousands of years, until the fisstire or pocket if filled up. Crannies permeating the stony mass in every direction may become be-come tilled with metal, or occasionally a chamber may be stored full of it, as if a myriad of bauds were fetching the treasure Irom all sides and hiding away a future bonanza for some lucky prospector to dia-cover dia-cover in another age. Keystone Hoist No. 2. Work is progressing rapidly on the Keystone Key-stone hoist No. '.2, at Eureka. This will be a tine plant, and it is expected that it will be in running order by January 1. J. Q. Packard of the Eureka Hill and Gemini group informs the Journal that at the present pres-ent time there are- fifty-live men employed in the Keystone and tiventy-tive in the Eureka Hill. The company has not shipped a pound of ore since April, as they do not care to rob their properties at the present price of silver. If the white metal is ever remoneti;:ed, however, these mammoth pro-ducers pro-ducers will be in shape to begin large and regular shipments at a day's notice. Mining Journul. I Fish Springs District.
