Mineral Hill, *bioh ocoupies tbe north
ern slope of Propeet Mountain, is com
posed of dolomlto limestone aud granite.
*Tbe Proapeot lountain quartzite, whiob
there dipping tctlie northeast, forma tbe
footsrall of tbe Ituby Hill lode, oterlies
tbe granite and benda around Proapeot
Muuutaln to tbeeaal and west in tbe form
of a boreeehoe. rending on tbe east aide
to a point norllaaat of and near tbe Eu

other point exttnded westward from tbe
Grant mine. There it sink* beneath tbe
surface debria, out again appears abore
tbe mountain qtarlernary jual aouthweet
of and near tbe Pro#|>ect Mountain Tun
nel, and elill futber south it underlies the
Proapeot Mounain limestone east of and
hear tbs Dng Od mine. On tbe eaat flank
of Proapeot Mo-.ntain tbe quartzite dips
to the east. Tb< granite, wbiob owes its
expoaore on thenortherly slops of Pros
peot Mountain K erosion, apparently dips
under the qaartiite of Kuby Hill. Pre
alone to tbe eroson, the great bell of lime
stone of Proapsot Mountain and that
whiob oonatitutoi the Kuby Hill lode were
presumably one and tbe same and formed
a oontinuoua body. The faoe of tbe
quartzite dips aider tbe limeetone of tbe
Kuby Hill lode at an arerage angle of
•boot 40 degreis to tbe northeast. Tbe
exposure of this body of limestone on tbe
surface extends srer 4.000 linear feet from
■ear the ilblon shaft on tbe northwest,
wbare it it oorersd by the debria of Hpring
Valley to a poinleoutbeaat of and beyond
tbe Jackson mint, where it comes to a nar
row point or wedge between the Prospect
Mountain quartette and Pogontp lime
stone. On tbe northern end of Ruby Hill
tbe limestone is :el off by a fault fissure,
called the "Roby Hill fault." The width
of the limestone sone of Ruby Hill, at tbe
enrfaoe, is from 800 to 2.000 feet; over
lying It on tbe north are tbs Heoret Can
yon shale and tbj Hamburg limestone of
Adams Hill. Overlying tbe quartzite,
npen tbe east side of Prospeot Mountain,
Is a belt of Hamburg limestone, whioh is
doubtless connected at some depth beneath
tbe turfeoe with that of Adams Hill. In
tervening those two bodies at tbe surface,
over a spaoe o' about 3,000 feet, is tbe
Pogonlp limestone, wbiob runs in a con
tinuous belt tbtougb tbs eastern portion
of tbe distrlot from Diamond Valley,
north of tbe Bullwhacker mine to Newark
Valley on tbe south. Overlying the Ham
burg limestone of Prospect Mountain is a
band of argilaoeons shale identical in ober
aeter with that wblcb overlies tbe north
ern part of tbe Ruby Hill lode, but known
as tbe Hamburg shale. Nearly all of
THE OBE BODIES
Of considerable magnitude and economic
value that were discovered in Eureka Dis
trict up to tbs present time were in tbe
Prospeot Mountain and Hamburg lime
stone formations, of tbe Cambrian Age,
but valuable deposits of ore have been
found in the Bullwhacker and Williams
burg mines, wbiob are in the Pogonip
limestone and quarts porphyry of the Bi
lurlan Age. V»ry rioh ore has been found
in payiug deposits in the mines of New
York Canyon, in Lone Mountain lime
■tone, also of the Silurian Age. The Lone
Mountain limoetone ia separated from the
Pogonlo limeatone by tba hard quartaite
reef of MoOoy'a Ridge. Tbi, quartzite
extenda northward to Cariboo Hill and
aoutbward to Newark Valley.
The ahalea and qnarlzitea are substan
tia*1* non-ore-beariog. In aome plaoea
the Proapeot Mountain qnartzite in Rnby
Hill haa been impregnated with the ore
bearing aolutiona. but It baa nowhera been
found of any eoonomio value. Rhyolite.

Tbe aolfalario ao lion consequent npon ite
eruption had probably muob to do with
the ascending ore-bearing eolations, if not
with the aotnal deposition of the ore.
Trending southerly from tba end of the
quartzite, on the east side of Prospect
Mountain, Ja a belt of Saoret Canyon shale,
which aepalates the Hamburg limeatone
from tbe Proapeot Mountain limestone
throughout the southerir section of the

it la Brit obaeived norlhw trd. at tba anr
Bwr Urn Albion tnln », taking ao al
most uniform southeasterly course, with
an average dip, underground, of about To
degrees to the northeast. It pastes near
tbo Richmond office and is plainly visible
near tbe mouth of a tunnel that was for
merly run to conneot with tbe Bell shaft;
thcnoe northeast of tbe Eureka and
K K shafts to a point between the Phenis
and Jackson mines, where It bends around
and takes a southerly course through tbe
Hamburg belt of limeetone, westward of
the Kemp A Keen, Patroon and Dunder
berg mines, and through the Unole Ham
and Hamburg mines further to tbe south
ward. It faults all formations, bnt is it
self nowhere faulted or dislocated so far as
can be determined. It has been traced
upon tbe surface and is identified under
ground by its fillings of rhyolite, ore,
ledge material and composite of rhyolite
and clay, the latter having been produced
by attrition where the walls are olose to
gether or nearly so. It has a most import
ant bearing on the present etructure of
Ruby Hill and the country to the south
ward. as also on the relation of tbe
ore bodies to eaoh other. Thronghout its
entire course it is found to be the key to
the structural problem of the Roby Hill
and Prospect Mountain mineralized zones.
The country southwest, oo the footwall
side of tbe fault, has been raised several
hundred feet relatively to the banging
wall. It is probable that there was up
heaval and subsidence, but that the latter
exceeded tbe former. Taken in connection
with all of tbe mines to tbe southeast, it is
found to be a fault plane along which tbe
whole southwestern country has been
raised from 500 to 2,000 feet. There can
be no question that the key to the problem
of deep mining in Ruby Hill and Pros
pect Mountain will eventually be found in
the Ruby Hill fault.
The limeetone of Ruby Hill is divided
into two sections, which we will designate
tbe "front" and "back" limestone. Tbe
latter forms a wedge which, taken through
tbe Eureka Con. mine, extends from the
surface downward to near tbe 13lb level
cod lies between the quartzite, tbe lace ul
wbiob has a mean dip of about 40 degrees,
and tbe fault Assure, wbiob dips at an an
gle of about 70 degrees. This, wbicb we
shall call tbe npper wedge, lies on tbe
southwest or footwall side of tbe Assure
and has been raised in this locality about
1,400 feel relatively above the lower wedge
and narrows to a thin edge at its lower
extremity. It is remarkable for its crushed
and broken condition. It was io this
wedge that all of tbe tremendous ore bod
ies wbicb made ltuby Hill famous in tbe
early days of the district were mined.
The exploration of tbe front limestone,
wbicli overlies tbe fault to tbe southwest,
bas not keen sufficient to determine
whether either large deposits or any ore at
all may be found in it. From tbe narrow
part of the upper wedge, downward, as
seen upon tbe 13th and 14th levels, as well
as upon (be 1,200-foot crossut from tbe
Locan shaft, below tbe 14lh level of the
Eureka Coo. mine, the face of tbe quartz
ite forma tbe footwall of the fault, tbe lat
ter maintaining its dip at an angle of 70
degrees, tbs same as It does above. Below
tbe 13th level, with its thineet edge upper
most and its form Inverted. a« compared
with the npper wedge, but situated upon
tbe northeast or banging wall side of tbe
fault Is a
LOW KB WEDOE or LIMESTONE
Identical In character with ibe upper
wedge. Tbit is crushed and shattered in
precisely tbs some manner, and, subse
quent to tbe upheaval and subsidence
along tbe taolt line, wee doubtless an on
divided part of Ibe block of limestone
wbicb forms the upper wedge.
The future of Eureka Distriot will de
pend largely on deep level mining; not
that tbe levels near tbe eurlaoe are ex
hausted of ore, for on tbe contrary, there
are hundreds of tbs smaller mines and
prospect* of the district capable 01 pro
ducing the preoioua metalatbat are seldom
or never talked about; but Ibere la no
question of doubt among the experienced
miners who bav* worked oo the deepest
levels ot Ruby Hill that there are bodies
of ore to be found in tbe lower wedge of
limestone at valuable aa tbose wbich
were excavated in the big chambers of the
upper wedge.
Tbe sxolorallon of tbe lower wedge would
require the expenditure ot large sums of
money, no doubt-perhaps hundreds of
thousands, possibly million* of dollars;
but when it ia remembered that the Eu
reka Con. and Richmond mines bare alone
paid over ten million dollara in dividends
and made a number of people wealthy,
and when it la further born* in mind that
the ore ia known to enter tbe lower wedge
of limestone and to go down below any
depth yet attained In Ruby Hill, it is not
unreasonable to believe that deeper ex
ploration in the lower wedge would pay.
Tbe only reason given to the public by
the Eureka Consolidated management for
not sicking tbe Looan shaft deeper and
erossoutting to the lode below the Locan
1300 foot level, was that the maobinery
upon the Looan shaft was inadequate for
the dual requirement* of draining the mine
of water and raising the material broken
underground to tbe surface; they were uu
willing to continue draining the hill of
water unleas one or more of the companies
that were operating In Ruby Hill would
divide tbe burden of expense with them.
It is a settled fact that the maobinery wa*
defective for the general requirementa of
the mine, but the volume of water to be
contended witb and all of the material that
oould have been brokeu in the mine could
have been raised to the surface with ma
chinery that should not have ooat over
one-fifth of the sums that were paid for
the oumbereome plant which now stands
idle at tbe Looan shaft. It it probable
that
THE TBIE WATEH LEVEL
Of the Ruby Hill lode. if there if snob a
thing, has not yet been encountered Tine
ie a moot question The principal flow of
water that was enoountered in the 1200
foot croaaout from the Looan shaft came
from the quartzite, wbioh was uselessly
penetrated, but if proper measures were
taken, that flow oould be easily stopped.
The balanoe of the water came from the
shale in the main hanging wall of the lode,
as well as from seepage from the surface,
but was immaterial. The limestone itself
is comparatively dry, which fact has been
amply proved upon the lowest workings of
the Richmond mine, wbioh are deeper than
the bottom of the Looan shaft. Before
the quartzite was broken into in the Looan
1200-foot orossout, when the water oame
in in its greatest volume, fully seven feet
In width of ledge material was enoountered
between a wall of intercalated shale and
quartzite, In direot oonneotion with the
fault, and about three feet of that was
payable ora. The miners who drove thi
crosscut through that material hate nne<
quivoeallv declared that the ora 'a there,
and more than that, they believe that it
goei down deeper and in paying quan
tities.
Mr. Clarence King, the eminent geolo
glit of national fame, who formerly bad
charge of tbe Richmond mine, and is qnite
familiar with the pbjeioal condition of
Ruby Hill and tbe manner of tbe deposi
tion of tbe ore bodies, bsa expressed tbe
opinion in tbe most indobilable manner,
that exploration should be carried to a fur
ther depth of 1,000 feet or thereabout, and
that there ia no geological reason why ore
•honld not be foond in as valuable quan
tities at it was found above, if tbe work
were done. He thought that gold-bearing
arsenical pyrites and silver-bearing
galena would be found in more compaot
form, and hence richer than tbe oxidized
nree, whteb were more or lees mixed with
limestone, tbit the lode had yielded above
It is calculated that tbe subterranean
disturbance which created the Rnby Hill
fault raised the footwall side of the Pros
pect Mountain limestone, through tbe Eu
reka Con. mine, abont 1400 feet,*
PKOSPXCT MOCWTAIK
Rises to an elevation considerably bigbsr
than that of Ruby Hill, showing that tbe
erosion of tbe latter locality mnat have
greatly exceeded that of tbe former. Pros
peot Peak, tbe bigbeet point on Prospeot
Monnlain, has an elevation of 9.G04 (eel,
and tbe highest point on Rnby Hillreacbes
an altitude of only 7,291 feet abovs rea
level. It is here seen that tbe difference
in tbe elevation of tbe two points ia 2,313
feet.
The ontcroppinga of the ore bodies of
Ruby Hill were larger than those of Proa
peot Mountain, bnt tbe difference may be
accounted for in tbe excessive erosion of
Rnby Hill. In tbe mam body of Prospect
Monnlain tbe ora bodies generally augment
in eize with the increase of depth. The
deepest workings in Prospect Mountain,
following the ore downward from the anr
face, are fonnd in the Diamond and Excel
sior mines, abont 1,600 feet below tbe top of
tbe mum orecbnteand a little over ouu ieet
below the main tunnel level. Tbe aurlaoe
of Ruby Hill ii relatively fiat when com
pared with that of Prospect Mountain,
wbicb is donbtlesi due to tbe greater ero
sion of tbe former, sod it is therefore fair
to believe that tbe cntcroppiDgs of tbe
Rob? Hill ore bodies were, at one time,
no greater than those of the Diamond and
Exoelaior mines at the present; and if the
theory generally accepted here—that the
ore aolntioDs were forced np by infiltra
tion and dynamic pressure from below—is
oorrect, that relating to tbe difference in
size of tbe outcroppings of Ruby Hill aDd
Prospect Mountain Is not without a reas
onable basis.
The question of deeper exploration in
Knby Hill and Prospect Mountain has re
cently been discussed here, aud there has
been no reason adduced to show why the
work should oot be remunerative. It has
been demonstrated that tbe ore bodies still
continue going down Id tbe caves, below
tbe deepest workings of tbe Diamond and
Exoelaior mines. It is also shown that tbe
ore continues dipping below tbe deepest
excavation in the Enreka Con. mine ; and
there is reasonable probability that ore
bodies may be found below tbe deepest
workings of either of the Ruby Hill mines
as valuable as those wbicb were excavated
above. It Is manifest that tbe limestone
bodies of Roby Hill aDd Prospect Moon
tain, at present separated by tbe granite
and Prospect Mountain qnartzite, were
origiually one and tbe same; that the dis
connection oocnrred through excessive ero
sion shove the Prospect Mountain qnartz
ite. and that the difference in the extent of
ibe respective outcroppings upon Ruby
Hill and Prospect MouDtain is due to the
erosion. Undoubtedly the erosion occur
red subsequent to tbe upheaval and rela
tive oreatlou of tbe Ruby Hill fault. Tbers
can be bat little question as to tbe import
ant bearing of tbe faul t on tbe present struc
ture of Ruby Hill and Prospect Mountain
and tbe relation of the ore bodies to eaoh
other. Tbs former hat been manifested
through diligent investigation instigated
under national authority, and it it quite
probable that the asoendlng ore bearing
solutions passed up through tbe great fis
sure and. by means of infiltration and per
colation through the teams in the oountry
rock, were oonveyed to and deposited in
tbe chambers and other cavities in the
limerock,wblch were created by the pre
viously occurring subterraneous disturb
ances.
The elevation of the main tunnel level
at tbe Diamond mine is 7,600 feet above
tea level, while that of tbe highest point on
Ruby Hill is only 7,300 feelor thereabout,
and "the elevation of the Ruby Hill orop.
pings Is hardly more than 100 feet above
that of the deepest workings of tbe Dia
mond and Exoeltior mines. In the latter
the ore produoed is relatively improving
in quantity and quality with greater depth,
and the yield of gold In proportion to the
silver is increasing. The Diamond and
Eioelaior mines are making a better show
ing than did the Riohmond or Eureka
Con. at the relative points of elevation,
and their present oondltlon Is an augury
that they will become at famous and equal
ly as productive and lucrative at were tbe
Eureka Con. and Riobmond mines in tbeir
palmiest days, but deep level mining is
needed at much in tbe one as in tbe others.
