' Apparatus for taking electric
readings involving the electric cur
■ rent and .potential as it passes
' through a given section of the
earth’s crust, for determining geo
logical structure and as a means
of locating ores, minerals, etc., has
been invented by Oliver H. Gish,
of Somerset, Chevy Chase, Md., to
whom has been granted an Amer
ican patent. Rights in the patent
have been assigned by the in
ventor to Carnegie Institution of
Washington, a corporation at
Washington, D. C., according to
the United States Daily.
The depths explored by the ap
paratus, it is stated, vary from a
. few feet to 2,000 feet. This meth
od, however, promises to be suc
cessful, the inventor asserts, in ex
ploring to even greater depths.
“The purpose of the invention,”
it is explained, “is to explore the]
earth’s crust by means of electrical
measurements or readings made at j
the earth’s surface, and thereby]
ascertain the subsurface geological
structure and its variations both
laterally and with depth, and thus
assist in the location of minerals
of many and varied sorts, in the
location designing, etc., of mines
or deep foundation structures,
bridge piers and other operations
where a knowledge of the geologi
cal structure is needed.”
The measurement in a region of
homogeneous earth taken by this
method, says the specification, ap
plied in a suitable formula or equa
tion, yield the resistivity, or resist
ence of the unit cube of earth.
'Resistivity of different geological
i formations, it is stated, differs over
j wide limits. Thereby is found a
] possibility of distinguishing differ
ent types of earth structure.
The method consists in passing
a measured current through the
earth between two selected points]
iand measuring the potential differ- |
iences between two other selected
] points resulting from the flow of
! the current.

WOMAN FIS ORE
IN COLORADO MINE
RICO, Colo., Aug 8. (A3)—Samples
of quartz recently taken from the
Columbine gold mine located at
Vance Junction, owned and operat
ed by Mrs. M. A. Meenen of Dolores,
show that the mine lies in the per
main red beds and assays a com
plex ore which carries one ounce
of gold to the ton.
Mrs. Meenen is being congratu
lated upon having faith in her 12
foot streak and seemingly it is go
ing to be a real gold producer.
Should this group prove a money
maker, it would not only assist this
territory morally in the gold-min
ing industry, but will actually help
to take the depression out of this
region.
