The oldest age called tho Archaen in the age without any foi i i uf life, ex cept perhapu tlie Pruto.nii, which was tho earliest orgnnism.

N'orlh America during this age r present" d a rather omall territory, comprising Eastern Canada and British Colum bia, the site of Xew York t'i i y was then fur out in the sea, and Port land as well. Other uea s .succeeded with their various and gradual chauges. Ages when animals of huge dimouHions and strcuigth roamed tho land, filled the sea and air. Tho greit ichisnur, dinisaur, ptordactyl luamoth and many others, also many forinn of tries and plants grew prolific during the dump and torrid period, prominent anion tho trees was the I.epidodcndtid, somewhat like our modern palms. Many forms of life arfl. found foHnil i' d in tins rocks that are diHtivnc ti of Kuno jiarticulnr period of time, for example, tho trilihite and arnm')nite each having its lifo foimcd ami taken away, never to i, pear ngain, during and continued I rhru'igh their different and parti- nlar ages. One age the Devonian, I I In-Heas were crowded with many kinds of full, as is attested by tho ;o ;),.; this ugc being filled with their fosi-iK A goH are further Hub-di- 1 i I d into periods, epochs and eras. ' Tli" duration of these time limits ar more difficult to determine, but 1 they can bo determined by various : menu:., and thus a closer determina tion of the timo period of the rock ! formation arrived at. ' Suppose we take three continuous periods of time, a certain fossil is ' tn:md in the first and second pcr i 'd-', then becomes extinct, another fossil is farmed in tho second period ! .'Hid runs through tho third, this j d termir.es the fiecond period, and so on various forms are employed, to ; in rive as closely as possible to tho time condition of the rock forrna ition. These fossils aid greatly in ihe determination of timo of forma tion of sedimentary rocks, such as : limestone, sandstone, quart.yte, etc., nit are destroyed in eruptive rocks, ' r rocks greatly metamorphosed, iu ' which different methods must then l.e cmphiycd. As these are the forms of rocks i that directly concern us in our mines 1 here we will lay aside tho discussiona .f sedimentary rocks, fossils, etc. as ii r veleiit, but to have in a more ! complete, and connected from the princ ipal of tho method employed i!i geological research I thought it i I -vis-able to describe as much of iln- procedure as 1 have even though it dues not apply directly to our case in hand. 1 MIXEn.VIJ. i A mineral is a specific description, i invariable in principal of structure, nl w ays formed by inviolable rules of .lalure. When a certain mineral is J crvsta'.i.cd its physical and chemi jci! characteristic are essentially i constant. The slight variation in crystals as to color, imperfect cry t.tli.ation of certain faces, etc. are duo to causes foreign and distinct from the formation of the crystal, and iu no wise i9 the principal im paled upon which the crystal is made. Nature makes no mistakes. Wo find broken crystals, nature die" not form them thus. Some crystals arc discolored, because the condi tion of tho solution from which the crystal was formed prevented the expulsion of the foreign coloring matter and combined it io its structure. The study of minerals is termed miuerology, and is the poetry of geology.

Hard. man.igoi of tho Vesuvius, Orc- j gun-Colorado and Riverside I mining companies, Mr. John A. Tray- lor, tho mining machinery man of Denver and tho writer left the city one day last week for tho Dohernia mining district sorno thirty-five miles away. Tho first IK miles were rnado over tho O. t H. E. railroad to the Wild wood station, there horses were pro vided and the rest of tho journey made on horseback. Tho first property reached was the Vesuvius, located upon Fairview mountain the nest highest mountain in tho district, IJohemia mountain exceeding it in elevation by but a few feet. Great changes have been made at this properly since the lost visit as quite a little town has grown. up about tho place. The company hav ing provided fir it3 workmen with a large bunk and boarding house and a number of cottages for those who desire to have their families with them. A 10 stamp mill with ample room for the addition of more stamps has been erected and a bucket tram ouilt from the upper tunnel some two thousand feet farther up the mountain to the mill, to bring the ore direct from the miue to the mill at slight cost. At the time of our arrival tho siw mill was in active operation getting out mining tim bers and lumber for such purposes as it may be needed, but the mana gement docided that a suOicnnt supply had been provided and atten tion would at once be given to tho runuing of the mill and ores from tho mine. During the stay at the Vesuvius we were shown through the work ings of the mine. At the upper workings a tunnel nearly 1000 feet follows the ledge into the mountain and a part ot the way in, an raise has been made something over l!00 feet to connect with an older tunnel which basils exit on the other slope of the mountain, which opens up the ore bodies for a great distance be sides furnishing splendid ventila tion. During the winter Supt. Jenks baa driven tunnel ahead several hun dred feet, finding ore most of the way, several hundred feet of an oxi dieed or free milling ore which with the ores taken from upraises will supply the mill for the present. The Wild Hog or lower tunnel just above the mill has peuetrato. the mountain some SOD feet and has a splendid showing of partly oxidized ore which should prove good for concentration. The mill, by the way, is in charge of Mr. T. J. Crow and experienced mill man from Colorado. Our second day was spent iu riding over tho wagon road and trail rnado last year to tli Oregon-Colorado and Kiversido groups, tho wagon road reaching at present only to the first named property. Ill I K-UIlK. At the Riverside Ah-x Lundberg was found in charge and was still driving tho tunnel ahead, ho ro contly completed a c infract of 50') feet which made a total length of the tunnel of 1200 fctt. Nearly all the way from the mouth to the breast of the tunnel ore was in evi dence along tho roof and sides and at the breast it was found as far to the sides as cross-cuts had been driven, which proves it to be an ex ceptionally strong vein and well filled with mineral. oheoon-coi.ouaijo After a splendid dinner cooked by our friend Iundberg we took the trail back to the Oregon-Colorado where tho contractors had j ast com pleted their "d0 foot contract. This tunnel has also reached a length of 1200 feet and the vein of copper ore is still strong, beariug but the theory formed by the immense crop pings on tho surface that it is a true fissure vein and will prove lastiDg to as great a depth as it can bo worked. Mr. Traylor who has had many years cf mining experience in many states ftrd Mexico admitted his sur prise at the amount of development work and the great amount of ore shown in all these properties and thought that with the proper methods of treatment it would be a mining district of importance. I'll ystal-cossoi.il ATF.U Tuesday morning early we left the Vesuvius and following a trail over Fairview mountain. We first came to the Crystal Consolidated managed by Mr. Geo. W. Lloyd. Just at the mouth of the lower tunnel, a well built and equipped five-stamps mill has been put into commission and a concentrate of a good quality was being made, but it was too soon for Mr. Grove to give us degnite information as to exact resluts. Mr. Grove, an experienced metallurgist wa3 assisting him iu deterrninins the wav to obtain the best results. There is an abund ance of ore in sight for operations for a long time to come. ' OREGON Sei'TRITIES COM PAW Continuing our journey we soon come to the 30-stamp mill of the Oregon Securities company in Cham pion basin. Here the mill was found to be steadily at work upon the ores brought from the workings higher up the mountain by tram.
