The amount of ore in a single shoot may vary from a few pounds to several tons. The nearness to an enrichment in the veins of the district can generally told by the encountering of ‘“‘bluejay’’ or mariposite or a ‘“thard cabby hanging,’’ rolls in the foot and hanging walls, sharp changes in the dip and strike, banding of the quartz and intersecting veinlets. Arsenopyrite is an effective precipitant of gold as shown by Palmer and Bastian. The supposition is that the later solutions, travelling thru the crushed quartz of the vein, deposited their gold content when they reached the arsenopyrite and to re: place a portion of the arsenopyrite and the neighboring quartz. In the quartz near the arsenopyrite, gold and such sulphides as galena, tetrahedrite and‘spalerite were deposited in small fissures or ag replacements of the quartz. The formation of the ore shoots are based on two conditions—first. those which determine the formation of masses of coarsely crystalline arsenopyrite in the veins and, secondbe ly-those which determine the paths followed by later solutions which carried the greater part of the gold. © The gold occurs in the arsenopyrite replacement but also in solid solution of the sulphide.
