They may reach only to a limited depth or be confined to a single bed. They may be no thicker than paper or many yards in width. They may ho, clustered so as to make a 'net, work. - They are broken and displaced in the same way as beds ' of rock.' The principal materials -with which they are filled arc 4-jnarl/-, granite, metallic ores, calcite and dolomite. They are 'nirely, found except in regions where'tlio rocks have been much disturbed. They generally have 1 a'parallel direction in any region and very often there are twosys- foms of veins, the direction of T-he latter ones being at a slightly different angle ��� to those of the curlier period. Gash veins .which die out at a limited depth are usually distinguished by the nature of the material' compos- , ing them and the absence,, of the- srooTings on the walls called slickensides. Under the pressure which forms fissures dift'er- '"ont rocks behave in different ���ways. , Slates have a tende'ncy to slit along thodino* of Ihe beds the result of which is thai veins in slate are usually bedded veins part it might have been derived from rocks below the fissure passed. The metallic ores might be drawn from the enclosing rocks, and there is much- evidence to show that in, many cases they were derived from great depths.' Thus a fissure cutting through an ancient river gravel cemented into a conglomerate might draw gold from it and concentrate it .in a vein. In the same way where aii old dyke containing native copper was traversed by a fissure'the vapors of which carrying .sulphuric acid would gather up the copper aud redeposit it in the vein as born ite. copper pyrites or other copper sulphide The process of forming veins in this manner with quart;! and even.of depositing,gold and quicksilver may bo watched at hoi spings Copper pyrites, galena, bornite/'pyrites and other metallic minerals have been deposited in small veins in the brickwork of Roman baths abandoned 1,.">00 years ago by the hot water acting' on copper and iron weapons and coins. Veins of granite- required a greater heat to make them, feldspar being less easily formed than quartznand mica crystals of any sine necessitating greater heat. The" irregular veins and . pipes formed in limestone are formed by' the percolation of cold water working down the joints and often along 'fissures formed by the Dykes although they were formed in movement of the rocks. deep seated 'fissures. ' The irreg-. are sometimes ore-bearing, hay niarity of vein* will be easily un dorstood when one considers that rocks would not naturally break along a smooth fracture and therefore a slight movement of , one side would make wide and narrow 'openings alternately. 'The faults in veins of J en shift them only a few. inches or. feet ' but move them thousands of feet. The .vein is usually -to Jm found on the side on which the greater angle is made by the intersection of the fault and th'p vein. In any < given district most Of the' faults 'will throw the veins io the same side.. When the" fissures were 1 formed ���'pieces T of the country rock have usually been broken * -off and' fallen into the fissure, causing -'horses*';'in the vein) Tliose are especially common in slaty rocks. Veins have a ten- , dency, to run with the- direction of the principal mountain ranges having been formed by the same movements which made them. -Thedeepest fissures formed were those formed in Tertiary or,later ages of rock making. Veins which arc ribbotfed or banded are usually preferred. This ribboning shows that were formed by degrees by reopening of ,the fissures after each deposit.* These'bands are parallel to tho walls. Very often 'the material of the bands i.s the same throughout. Ihe color and proportion of metallic minerals contained being the only difference, butoccasion- 'ally they differ in their composition, the band being ��� perhaps quartz, than barite, lhan quartz wilh' blende, thou calcite, and ipiarlz-again/ Calcite and quartz are fjio most common matrix for i.hc ore in llie veins. The lillings of vVins were noi poured into i,])0 fissures in a molleii slate as is shown by, their noi having lransver.se columnar structure ���siich as some dykes have, due to cording after deposition. There are als^ oilier points about Ihein which show this. Quartz i.s formed al a low heal by moisture acting upon the silica in the roclc. With greater heat, it would combine rritn' other compounds and pure quartz would not be deposited. Calcite is formed by cold water. The same amount of heat which i.s required fo deposit quartz would also a Iter sli'ale'lo mica slate, chlorite slate and clay slate- and liinesUmi: to a crysialine form.. The "material tint of which the quartz veins were made would be drawn in part at least 'from the sid.es of the fissures by the hot vapors which would eat into'the walls ing; brought metallic minerals with tliem from their deep sources "in these cases the great'heat ha.st, prevented the mineral's from being combinations of sulphur and a metal, the metals beinn found in their nntive0slate. To'this class'be long Ihe native copper deposits of Lake Superior. ,native silver in Mexico and' other places. However, it has often happened that these dykes in cooling have cracked and been full of -small holes and fissures through which the warm waters of the 'region have penetrated and altered. Tin veins have been found at a higher temperature than those of ��� r ' i other metals as is shown by the character of Ihe quartz and also by the fact that schorl and .topaz and the ores of Ihe very refractory metal tonip- sfen are associated with them. When fistjitrcs pass through lime- stones the resulting veins are al- ways very irregular, as limestone is a rock that'is peculiarly susceptible tochemical change. Ln veins associated with dykes the materia] is often largely composed of chlorite and quartz derived from the component parts of the pyroxene usually present in them Many vein sure really beds which have the aspect of veins, as the rocks have been turned up so as to place Ihe beds-in a nearly vertical position.

In fact some portions of good vein Avill often yield not even a trace. On tlie surface the ores arq likely to differ from those found in depth, carbonates, oxides and chlorides being found near the surface, while at depth sulphides take their place. Some curious instances of ore occuriug in dykes are known in Australia, notably at Whroo, where tlie fissures left across the dykes by the cooling of the rock have been subsequently filled .with rich gold- bearing'quartz. True veins neaiv ly always have a selveige on one side. ..TJiis i.s a streak of clay which has been formed by water working its way down the crack on the side of vein, or sometimes by movement. In many regions veins which are well defined and workable, end by dividing up into a number of small stringers. Stock works are networks' of small veins which are oftdn mined to a profit, notably in tlie great copper mines oi Spain,���in Ihe tin mines of Bohemia, and in many other instances. They are usually worked by quarrying and the ore is Jiand picked. One remarkable instance is that Car- chaze tin mine in ��� Cornwall, where numberless tin veins tra-' verse china clay. The old miners did not value the china clay and made a tunnel at ,enormous expense io wash it away. In later' times the tin ore,' was thrown away'and the China clay saved. The great chambers in limestone are usually .adjoining- narrow veins which are not in themselves of value and are caused by the solutions, full of carbonic , acid, eating out the walls where its course was checked and , ( .subsequently filling tJicm with metallic deposits. Often these chambers assume Ihe form known as flats. Where tho water has worked its .way'between tAvo, beds, and ex-' cavatcd a series'of"flat .chambers on each side of 1 he vein. While hot water 'and���,.steam has had more than any agent to do with the i'ormation'.oi veins, but, few mines are working on the actual pipes oi-deposits of hot springs. Among the exceptions'are the crvstals of [Sulphur Banks in California.and it is supposed, the great Mount Morgan mine in Queenland. Prospectors will do well to search carefully in regions where hot springs and warm lakes with any 'apparent outlet exist., as theso are the remains of volcanic action which has died out in comparatively recent times and-.may have'lelt some treasures beliind it.

The probabil ity is there will be such a rise in rates in the New York money market as will lead to the shipment of much gold from Europe to the United States before summer. Of course the true balance of indebtedness to the United States^ is not quite ,redressed. The United States is still employing money in Europe, especially in Germany, and that money can be withdrawn whenever it seems desirable,'' but' it is not probable that money will become so dear in New York that it will be profitable to withdraw, the sums now employed from Germany and ship them across within the next few months. < .It will be different when .the crops- begin to be moved.
