The Conconully and Ruby mining dis
tricts are in the north-central part of
Washington, about 40 miles south of
the Canadian border. The ore deposits
were discovered as long ago as 1886,
but the product has been small, owing
to lack of tranrportation facilities, dif
ficulty in treating complex ores, and
the de-line in the price of silver.
The most valuable ore deposits in
these districts consist of quartz veins
whicn occur in schists near the areas
of granite or at the contact of schist
and granite. The ore minerals, pyrite
zinc blende, chalco pyrite, and gray
copper, carry silver and a little gold.
A report on these districts, by Ed

geology and mineralogy if the region'
