ATTRACTING SCIENTISTS.
Eastern Oregon Gold Fields Are Being
Studied by "the Professors."
Perhaps one of the most important ns
well as the most Interesting phases of the
development of eastern Oregon's vast
mineral belts is the attention the forma
tlon Is receiving from geologists and min
eralogists, as well as practical mining
men. The entire district is under the X
ray of scientific investigation. Old theo
ries are'constnntly being exploded. Sup
positions are being either discredited or
verified. Theories that have obtained for
years past are being abandoned and new
ones, justified by the results of scientific
research, are supplanting them. Aside
from the interest that attaches to these in
vestigations from a scientific standpoint,
they are of special Interest and of most
practical value to mining men, In that
they pave the way to more intelligent and
more economical mining operations.
The general direction of the ledges of
this section has been known for some
time. Mlners'and prospectors have ascer
tained that from observation, and mining
operations have demonstrated the correct
ness of their conclusion. Much is also
known of the formation in various sec
tions, the.character.of the veins In certain
contacts, and the ore probabilities under
given conditions. The experienced pros
pector knows that the ledges here have a
northeasterly and southwesterly direction.
He also knows what to expect in finding
slate and quartz contacts. He knows
.what to do and which way to look upon
encounterlng'porphyry dikes. More llgltt,
however, is almost daily being shed upon
the general geological formation of the
country, and the time is not far distant,
perhaps, when a geological and mineral
oglcal map approximately scientifically
correct will be possible. Portland Mining
