Here the sedimentary rim-rock lay open as a book and as he followed along its face he found hole after hole pecked into one copper-stained stratum. It was the same broad stratum of quartzite which, on coming to the creek, had dipped down into Bunker's claim; and now Denver knew that others beside himself thought well of that mineral-bearing vein.
A natural harbor, especially if it is at the mouth of a river, seems destined by nature for a centre of commerce, as the falls of a swift-flowing stream indicate the location of a manufacturing plant. A mineral-bearing mountain invites to mining, and miles of forest land summon the lumberman.
"Only one outfit of prospectors has ever been here, and they claimed there was no mineral-bearing rock in these parts." We got back into our saddles with the mystery unsolved. To the Virginian it was a greater one, apparently, than to me; why should one have to account for every stray traveller in the mountains? "That's queer, too," said the Virginian.
If, in a given region of a mineral-bearing country, the geological formation is such as to lend itself to the easy conduction of currents in one direction rather than in another, the phenomenon referred to may perhaps be partially explained.
By the time the jam-tin and its contents had been obtained from the confusion of Peters's swag, he had crushed on the blade of a shovel, with the blunt head of the miner's pick, a fragment of the mineral-bearing stone. Tony lit the stump of candle, taking the hat from his head and holding it over the flame to protect it from the rain, while Murray held the jam-tin of implements.
Besides, he had the bit of canvas to show, the scrap that he had taken from the thornbush. After dinner Tom and Dick resumed their work of unloading necessaries from the Wondership. Jack and the two elder members of the party discussed plans. "You haven't found any trace of mineral-bearing rock yet, have you, professor?" asked Jack. The professor shook his head.
There was some fantastic Indian lettering, or sign-drawing, about it, and underneath, in a white man's handwriting, were the words: "Rattlesnake Island." "I reckon Foxy Joe's friend must hev written that in," commented Zeb. "It looks that way," said the professor, who had poured the sample of mineral-bearing sand back into the vial and restored it to Zeb Cummings.
That the undersigned locators are citizens of he United States or have declared their intention to become such, and have discovered mineral-bearing rock !" "What's mineral-bearing wock, mother?" "That's the gold, Baby Girl. in place thereon and do locate and claim same for mining purposes.
