lllllS IS STORY
F01 PROSPECTOR
WIIY VEINS PINCH AND SWELL
! BY ERNEST N. PATTY, DEAN
OF THE ALASKA COLLEGE
I Larrv O’Sullivan and Jack Mc
Kay, those veteran Alaskan pros
pectors, are becoming a bit worried,
jSeveral years ago they discovered a
'promising vein of gold-bearing
! quartz. They built a camp nearby
[and for the past three years they
have been prospecting this ground,
j During the summer months they
work for wages and thus accumu
late sufficient funds to carry their
! prospecting operations thru the
|winter. For the past two winters
'they have been driving a tunnel on
their vein. They have advanced
| this drift 300 feet and the vein has
j averaged from two to four feet in
thickness. At time# it widened out
; until the entire face of the drift
>jwas in ore but lately the vein has
| been narrowing down and for the
i last 40 feet they have had only a
I narrow quartz stringer in the face
'of the drift.
: Jack and Larry are eating lunch
i;n their little blacksmith shop
which clings periously to the side
of a steep granite cliff. Tea water
is simmering on a bed of coals in
the forge.
Jack broke the gloomy silence:
“Larry I don’t like the way that j
vein is pinching down. If it doesn t
strengthen up rather soon I am
l afraid it will quit us entirely. You
don’t think it possible., do you, that j
we have gotten off the main vein j
and aie following a branch string
ier ?”
i “No chance for that Jack—we
have kept the vein square in the
face of the drift from dav to day,
land there wasn’t a single round |
that caused us anv doubt about fol
lowing the vein.”
“I agree with you on that Larry,(
but look at the curves we have in
the f unnel. I remember that after
the first 150 feet we made such a
bend in the tunnel that you could
no longer see daylight from the
back end of the tunnel. How do
vou account for that ?”
“First of all Jack, our vein, like
eight out of 10 other veins, is fol
lowing a fault fissure. We have a
iayer gouge on both walls of the
vein; then too, we have both notic
’d how the granite walls are groov
ed and polished by fault move
ments. These grooves run with the
direction of the tunnel which indi
cates that the fault movement was
parallel to the strike of the fissure.
Now as I see it, this fault fissure
into which the vein was injected
was not as straight as a die but was
a fissure which curved gently back
and forth on its trend thru the
country rock. My experience m
other raining districts causes me to
believe that this is the rule rather j
than the exception for fissure of
itnis type. The vein which later!
filled this fault would naturally
conform to its trend. This is tne
key to our present problem. It is
