THE
General lerGlaniiise
BY W. H. LAHPKEB, UIMISO ENUI4EK3.
The northeastern boundary of the
Silver King Btsinin Arizona, in a por
tion of the area, is a typical volcano
completed. It consists of predominant
fragtnenlal materials, tuff anil braces,
with numerous dyke and irregular in
trusive bodies of massive rocks. This
part is naturally the most interesting
geologically and it is also of the great
est economic imoortance because the
mineral deposits are the the most numerous.
Surrounding this central area is gra
nite, the principal rock, penetrated by
dykes of certain of the vocaoio rocks.
remnants of tuff braces also occur, and
there are also a few subordinate for
mations which are not directly connect
ed in the origin with the vocanic center.
The high peaks of Silver King Basin,
northeasterly from the lake bed, and
associated rhyolite in the southeastern
part of tho Great Jurassic mountain
range, are the principal of these formations.
The study of the Silver King Basin
has led to the conclusion th it there was
at one time a true volcano at this center
of ernption. It was probably s nail in
comparison with the one west of it, but
it exhibited a very complete circle of
phenomena characteristic of volcanic
vents. Owing to the extreme decom
position suffered by many of the rocks
under action of gases and thermal wa
ters are at first difficult of recognition.
The coarse grained granite of the
peaks tip at the Californa Tunnel site,
southeast of the Silver King Bisin,
prevails in the center of the volcanic,
except to the west of the Hig Slide
mine, where a finer grained type occurs.
Fine eruptive granite dykes abound
throughout the granite area and coarse
pegmatite dykes are occasionally found.
Gueissic structure is locally developed
in the black granites, but neither this
structural change near the distribution
of the granite varieties could be sho wn
on the westsideof the South King m,ine,
owing to the limited time available for
the investigation.
The numerous small areas designated
schist are notsoeiearly metamorphosed
algonkiaa straTaas are maoy in th
adjoining to the west so far as the old
Silver Crown oiioe, due west from the
Conley Spring. The Silver Crown is
quite an interesting bill. It is a volca
nic upheaval 3.000 feet square from east
to west and from north to south. Char
ley Brown of Tucson took "urna-i of n i-
tive silver and horn silver from the break
of the mountain on the west side, 200

hence tu be considered older than the
rock. Most of these schistose rocks
are silvery muiscovite quartz on the
Providence mine schists with fribolete
in many cases. Some are doubtless
altered elyneisses, while others are
metamorphosed algonkian sedimentary
rocks. Those near the vocanic area
are much kaolinizd, small granite
veins or dykes penetrate the schists.
Several diabase dykes in eruptive
granite are shown. They are all small
and short and are numerous only near
theCooley Spring, on the west side of
the mountain of the East King. These
are probably of algonkial ore, belong
ing to a series of wide distribution iu
th front rauge and not with the rock
of the volcano, i Augite is commonly
chauged to uralite hornblend in these
dykes.
The andesytes, though not very dif
fesent in character, are the two princi
pal rocks of eruption. The uforeimpor
tant type is an augite bornblend acde
syte, with some mica in the Andes and
the St. Louis lode. It is probably the
earliest massive of the volcanic and the
smallest areas of the hills, peaks in the
Silver King Basin, also of the old
Wouoh Wather mine on Queen creek,
are regarded as representing a large
body which has been in great degree
destroyed by explosive outbursts or
covered by the tuff and braces of the
eruption. This audesyte is character
ized by its large pryscnatic crystals of
apetite, which are often larger than
aoy other constituent of the rock. The
second andesyte variety occurs in the
dykes cutting the braces, especially
about the Silver Crown mine. Easter
ly to Conley Spring the rock is aa au
gite andesyte, with soma hnrnblend
and mica and bad a denser ground mass
than the earlier type. Some andesyte,
rich in mici, occurs in dykes on the
trail to Queen Creek to the Silver Q lean
mine, shows gray and black and pea
rock, and carbonates of copper and a
small percentage of gold.
The especially characteristic rock of
the region is phonolite. It occurs in
numerons narrow dykes, both within
and without the main volcanic area and
is the only one of the volcanic types
having such distribution. It also
occurs in several isolated bodies cap
ping granite and bluecarbonateof lime
hills on the. Great Jurassic mountain
range on Queen Creek, for some miles
easterly and northerly on all sides of
the center as la trachite, oo tfie west
side of Queen Creek. These masses are
thought to be remnants of large incli
ned dykes in an eruptive granite simi
lar to those shown on the east side of
Queen Creek in the carbonate ot lime
just west of th,j volcanic center. This
origin is further suggested by the pho
nolite bodies on the went side in the
granite on Queen Creek, which are clear
ly lateral intrusion into the high lake
beds uear the granite surface. No sur
face flows of phon jlite are now identi
fiable on the west range of mountains
On Queen Creek phon lite was a pro
duct of several epochs of eruptions, for
part of the braces, contain! phinolite
fragments and this brace is cut by pho
nolite dykes. The dykes are also of
several epochs.

King B-isin aud some smaller ones in
all can, neir the peaks above the South
Comstock, northeast from the Silver j
King mine, belong to a rock closely
allied to the ordinary phonolite, but
deserving to be distinguished from it
by the small amount of nepbaline it
contains and its structure. There are
many stout feldspar crystala in these
rocks and it is not laminated, in its j
prevalent decomposed conditions, it
bears little resemblance to the normal
phonolite, though the fresh rock of the
two types are nearly identical in chemi
cal composition sadalite and nosean
are as abundant as any other type.
A single ns of this rock occurs at
the South Comstock. It contains near
ly the siiue chemical and mineralogi
cal composition as the phonolite, but
has less nepehline sodaiite,aud nosean
and a primary grain hornjjlend is asso
ciated wilb the augite. The rock is
pearl gray in color, with a fine granu
lar structure, excepting on the porphy
ry, where Vt becomes porphyritic. The
presence of this granular equivalent of
phonolite in thd pirt of the volcanic
center of the highest peaks and the
California Tunnel site, suggests more
definitely than anything else, of the St.
Louis Tunnel site, actual vent of the
volcanic, southeasterly.
On the southeast shou laer of the St.
Louis is a m iss of aitiu, syuibe por
phyry, with many small feUspir and
augite crystals, in a very close grained
feldspathic ground mass. Little of the
limestone or plagioclase feldspar series
is present. Nepheline sodalite and
nosean are wanting, but the strongly
predominate alkali feldspar ally this
rock with the phonolite series. Lloru
blend and mica are subordinate consti
tuents on the Big Slide mine.
The last eruption of the Silver Kiog
Basin produced a nuinoer of narrow
dykes of dark basic rocks. These are
usually much decomposed, on tbe west
side of the Big Slide mine, southeast
from tbe Silver King mine, but from
the few fresh occurrence-! it is plain
there are two distinct rock types among
these dykes, one the nepheline basalt,
the other a normal feldspar basalt.
The latter type is shown in the fresh
condition, In the Andes mine in the
Silver Kin? Bisin. Southerly the
former occurs in numerous dykes, ou
the other side, on the west of tho East
King, being shown in nearly fresh co n-
dition in the Provideuce mine. Dykes
arc to be seen in the Malpese mine, on
the south side of the Boston mine,
shows tbe dykes of the Eiaher lode, of
nepheline basalt. Very much de
composed aud locally impregnated with
ore, many other 6bort dykes on the
West Malprese mine belong to one or
the other of these large basaltic types.

A Typical South African Store.
O. E. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays'

store is situated in a valley nine miles'
from the nearest railway station and
about twenty-five miles from the near

favored with the custom of farmers
within a radius of thirty miles, to
many of whom I have supplied Cham
berlain's remedies'. All testify to their
value in a household where a doctor's
advice is' almost out of the question.'
Within one mile of my store the popula

the past twelve months, no less than
fourteen bave been absolutely cured
by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
