Stands By Belief On
Quartz Vein Openings.
By Russell Mitchell
(Jacksonville, Ore.)
In a previous article I made
the statement that the openings
in a quartz vein at the surface
Indicate what the primary ore
will be at depth. Several miners
have challenged that statement
and it has caused me to studv
the problem further. I am more
fully convinced of Its truth than
before and perhaps an explana
tion will help others in pros
pecting below water level.
One man, in all good faith
and sincerity, showed me his
prospect. It is one of the most
beautiful prospects for a gold
mine I have had the pleasure
to examine. He had milled ex
ceptionally good quartz for
hundreds of feet near the sur
face. The free gold itself would
be a bonanza if he had proper
mining and milling equipment.
(This is in no wise an advertise-
menu, ine quartz is nam, oiue
and rusty. The gold is prac
tically all free the rust In this
case is not rich in fine gold. The

openings or eroded areas in the
quartz indicate chalcopyritcs
and the amount of free sold
in relation to the percentage of
mineral in the quartz indicates
exceptionally good value in the
primary ore. Of course, his free
gold represents an accumulation
of secondary deposits down
ward, but the walls and other
features make it an exceptional
prospect for good ore at depth.
Found Worthless
At one point in the tunnel
he sank down into quartz that
showed considerable sulphides
both iron and lead. When he
assayed them, he found them
practically valueless. H e
thought I was on a stump be
cause I predicted good primary
ore.
Here is the point made In
another article that miners here
particularly should watch: the
first sulphides probably wi'l
not conform to the openings in
the quartz and in that case they
themselves are secondary. His
sulphides were simply straight
pyrites, not chalcopyrites; there
fore he has not yet reached his
primary ore. Obviously, with
practically all his gold free his
secondary sulphides are poor
If the gold had been carried
downward and deposited with
the sulphides, then his free gold
would have cut off about where
the secondary sulphides began
and they would have been ex
tremely rich. As it is, he still
has free gold in the sulphides.
However, he will probably not
find it so when he reaches the
true primary deposit. Undoubt
edly, he will find, if he mines
it enough, hot spots of primary
gold but his mining it success
fully will depend on saving the
chalcopyrites.
Cites Other Case
I know of another case In
the Steamboat district where a
large body of free gold quartz
was found and milled. The
miners set up a table expecting
to ship concentrates but found
that they did not pay. They at
tributed their failure to mixing
too many sulphides from the
wall rock into the ore. The
truth was that the sulphides in
ithe vein itself were no good.
If they had applied the prin
ciple stated in this and other
articles, they would have saved
the expense of the table be
cause the sulphides themselves
were secondary and the gold,
having been thrown out of
them by chemical processes that
left it free, left the sulphides
barren. That vein now carries
a black-eye but because of the
amount of free secondary gold
above and knowing they never
reached the primary ores, I
would not hesitate to prospect It
below water level.

Reveals
Done by Ghost Writers
Pay Given Collaborators.
Washington. Nov. 27. (IP)
Secretary of the Navy Knox
told his press conference today
he had not profited from the
sale of magazine articles pub-
lisned under nls name
He opened the subject by ex
plaining that while he expected,
a public official, he would
have to "take it" from time to
time "there were a couple of
items yesterday which got my
goat and I want to read them
to you."
He then read editorials which
he said had been recently pub
lished in the Waterloo, Iowa,
Courier and Jacksonville, Fla.,
Times-Union.
The Courier said among other
things that the secretary had
been selling to magazines infor
mation denied to newspapers
and the Times-Union charged
that he had been "peddling se
cret information."
Had Ghost Writer
Knox said that the magazine
articles had appeared under hlf
name because "a part of my
job as I get it is to publicize
and popularize the navy."
He related that normally the
articles which had appeared in
various magazines were written
by a magazine staff writer with
the aid of some naval officer
and were checked by Knox who
maae suggestions in sucn time
as he had available for that
work.
The first article was publish
ed in the Saturday Evening
Post, nothing had been said
about remuneration, and "I was
considerably surprised when I
got a check for $1,000," the
secretary continued.
He said that he had this
money divided between the
magazine staff writer who wrota
the article and the naval offi
cer who collaborated with him
but that Knox himself received
nothing.

on reserve stocks of copper,
