Districts, Washington. 4 Dennis Eucalyptus Ointment TAYLOR-WILLIAMS CO «SWIÎÏ ? 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 ward I- Jones, Jr., just puhlisned by the United States Geological Survey as i Bulletin 640 B, contains a study of the geology and mineralogy if the region' and detailed descriptions of the individ­ ual mines and prospects.
