QiinrtK JLerisjcs. iTo3f.pui.nk County, Augift 20, Ififi.'t. FA. Sentinel : My purpose today will bo to lay beforu'those Interested In qdurlz min ing, a fcwfldca' whVdli may )6 of po'hib Impnrtanceto'them. Tho oplnl'bh I have of "the1 Ipueivwhiotf have been discovered up to tho present time and worked In the neighborhood 4of 'Apple gate, Itoguc lliTcr, Gold Hill, etc., Is this : that they nro fissure veins that Is. that when the up-throw of tho system of ledges took place the earth was rent in every di rection by Ihb volcanic force. Thu true gold-bearing qunrlz ledges of Southern Ore gon nro, according to my calculation, Imme diately west of !( longitude, running north rind south. These ledges conn; up, it would seem, nt the point of contact of Ihu trnp n,nd sedimentary rocks nt a naliii-al opening in tlicearth's surface. When tho rocktf weru displaced, nnd removed apart cufllcleut to admit thoso ledges, as a consequence the eoiiciifslon wm felt probably for many mill's. The volcanic crust uf tho earth swelled up and was rent in every direction ; openings were made regardless uf polarity, and theso fisuro were filled with pay-quartz, but of nchnraoter evidently diflerent from the true ledge-". (Wo have samples of quart?: from the Fnterprisc quartz ledge which Is beyond doubt n true ledge on-j llruly different from the nbove named.) These veins, of course, 'ould be tho nar rowest nt tho bottom, just as they have been found,1 und of limited depth, hence so many have proved failures. 1 wither these con clusions or principles from 'an examination of various works on quartz mining, com pared with our ledges. The Into ledge Is to bo found always nt tho point of contact of thu volcanic nnd seduientary locki. A tunnel run nt any depth, no matter how deep, aiming for tho centre of thu highest out-crop cutting Ihu ledgo nt right angle, of course will never fall of success, for tho deeper you go tho better the ledgo will be found to bo devel oped and tho better It will pay. Again : u true ledgo holds a persistent course, follow lowing tho parnllellsm of the neighboring mountain chain, which hero Is nbotit north and south, bearing n little towards tho east. Outfldo of the true ledges will bo found otter ledges running at nil points of the compnss, having a dip as diverse ns the course, frequently the hanging walls being detached and well deliued. Theso ledges, decrease In power ns they descend, nnd nil h.ivu the distiugubhtng characteristics that tho two walls of the ledgo nre of thu same iinllorm character of rock It may Im trap, or it may bo sedimentary, it is Immaterial which. The uniformity of character of wall rock Indicates only that it is a fluro vein, thu rock having been rent und filled and closed up ngnin nt the bottom, making a V-shaped vein. Theso veins pay flrs-t rate at the out-cropping, but have not tho "bot tom." Hence, becauxe n ledgo assays well, or shows rich In metal at (ho out-crop, it is no safe indication of true merit, but to tho mind of experienced miners nnd eminent iQlncrologists, it is greatly to bo distrusted. ' Why cu-nya differ so widely from practi cal working result!), wo aro not prepared to say, tiuco tho gold is not formed ns an ox ide. It is well known that an assay as u reputed valluo of a mine, and ns ordlunrlly mndo by selecting a small cholco piece of rock, is not to bo relied upon ; and this may bo the entire secret. Uut wero there oxides, which llro and fluxes would bo re quired to reduce to 'metallic form, it might ful'y explain it. Tho principal indications, then, it would eccm, which nre to guide ono in determining thu,. expediency of ex pending money in prospecting a ledge nre, the character of the bed-rock, and the posi tion of thu ledge in relation to them. That is, whether the ledgo Is at tho point of con tact of volcanlo nnd sedimentary rock, or cutircly encased iu either' of them. Thu ledge Iu the former position will contain the metal in eulphurets, and metal In thu latter In metallic form alone, of result prob- nbly of tho passage through tho bed-rock to the surface. Iu trap bed-rock wo always find " pocket 'ledges" in California. Iu slnto bed-rock wo' find the quartz lying in lenticular masses, tho metal being in pock et. Hut at the point of contact of tho trap and slate, we find tho true ledge, or mother ledge, of this slate, containing gold alloyed with 12 per cent, of silver, iu tho form of lino gold and sulphurets. It Is a mooted question whether quartz veins nro tilled from abovo by Infiltration, or from below by volcanlo injection. Tho nrticlo ubove shows that tho latter opinion a 4lwi lititlo TlilJfi tu iiiinsiiitirsnril nn1 ! ,,,,.,, ' M.,nn im,i-p,, .1.0 i,.i .1 ,ho top0gWphy onho C0lultl7. Tlto Ictlgo s, as an almost universal rule, to be eought y for at the out-crop of thu hill, and not iu tho low-lnnds and iavini'8. Hence wo con clude that thu ledge Hint if, that the vol canic force that bring? up the ledge makes) the hill. To statu the mutter n little differ ently : supposo.tlmt the ledge Is forced to the surface, a,'MfeeV'6f 'molten quartz, tulles In ''length, tlid'stcllitil degenerated tfbuld force IttlwaWT.'njM Wlhb opening maW the prcasuro' onclM retrieved, rcsletniuih once Vvcnkcii'j!l-ftllth'ellorec would ruiji'W that point, making a bill, leaving a ravine, of course, nnd in which deep linking would be required to rench the ledge, and yet it would bu found cropping on the hill. This question of topography is n vital ono In quart, mining, and should not for a moment be lot Sight of, nnd the more it is studied nnd apprehended, together with Ihu chemical character nnd geological posl t'on of the surrounding rock, the more ccr lain we nro of successful results to our la bors.
