Info Title:
Water in Veins Theory; Deerhorn Mine Musings
WATER IN VEINS.—A THEORY.
graphic for visual presentation of textBY T. A. Richard.
graphic for visual presentation of text An interesting example of the connection between vein formation, thermal springs and the water zone is afforded at Cripple Creek, in the Deerhorn Mine. l have already described* this occurrence, but it is pertinent to the present inquiry and therefore warrants repetition. {*"The Cripple Creek Volcano." Trans. A. I. M. E., Vol. XXX, pp. 398-401.]
graphic for visual presentation of text The Deerhorn shaft strikes a mass of gypsum at 240 ft., and continues within gypsum to the bottom, at 570 ft. The lower workings disclose the existence of three columns, 10 to 25 ft. in diameter, of solid white gypsum, evidently the plugged throats of thermal springs. Above the third level, about 250 ft. below the surface, these columns taper off and disperse amid the andesitic breccia, which forms the prevailing rock. But this breccia is disintegrated and impregnated with gypsum for acres around the locality. This suggests that the rising hot waters, in encountering the cold ground-water were unable to maintain a fixed channel but became diffused and spread through the surrounding mass of porous breccia.
