Show granites, plutocio (not sedimentary) schists sre exposel for the consideration j of the mineralogist and geologist, that which will make them evolve a new theory in regard to mineral deposition. It has beea an accepted deduction for some years that the outer rtns of olcanio eenters were tha most favor-, able areas for secondary enrichments. etc, but the layers of natural flux, and ' layers of chemical assistants and the matrix of precipitants ia the area be- 1 tween Copper canyon and Tank canyon can-yon reveal the fact that the artificial crucible of the metallurgist has beea duplicated so plain that tha deduction assumed in operating tha artificial was correct in all its application to tha original..; ori-ginal..; , ' . -: Oa all sides of this crater have ascended as-cended and descended the geyser waters. This being tha zona of least resistance, naturally the f umolrolio vapors and aqueous solution would seek their egress; hence tha mineralization of tha outer circle. But regarding thia matter from a deeper observation wa must necessarily eoneluda -that tha mineral plastic center of tha volcano, with tha. specifio gravity concurrent, a basic settlement set-tlement must occur; then it is only proper to assume that if prima facia evidence is observed of mineral deposition deposi-tion la ths center and around tha outer circle, that an depth ia attained a solid ore body would be tha ultimata. Tha immediate area of this deposition is about three and one-half milea in j diameter. Tha veins,- cracks or fissures created in adlacent country by the dynamic dy-namic force of Toleanic notion would act as carriers to the surplus production, henea tha general connection of mineral-bearing mineral-bearing ground and other geyser basins along tha line of volcanic disturbances. A great opportunity and a great ad-vantage ad-vantage is offered to the average one of as old hillrooters, to study, not the charts of our geological bureau, but the coloring of Ood 's beautiful landscape. The region I have just written about is known as the red ground beyond "Patsy "Pat-sy Clark's, but the Calieo hills or any other region as far as known, cannot compare to the beauty of coloring to be found in Tank and Copper canyons. The Copper Queens and the Oreenwater claims are good ones for the investigator investiga-tor to visit to corroborate my assertions. asser-tions. The ore at present is low-grade, but look out for the sulphide body when encountered, which will be done in the early stage of development. COPPER SHOWINGS ON DEATH VALLEY SLOPE SAID TO BE ENORMOUS (By E. 1 Hawa) . GBXENWATEB, CaL, Jan. 26. In Old Mexico there are miners who are 'delving Into tha bowels of old mother earth, digging tha sulphur from a partly part-ly active volcano.

In Greenwattr they are starting ta fellow the footstepa of the delvers for earthly riches. During tha last week the writer has had occasion to traverse a region so many miles from Oreenwater, Oreen-water, where the large bodies of cop. per ore showing oa the surface outrivals, out-rivals, outsaiass and scoops aay similar deposit in the world.
