A. Primary ORES
PnEUMATOLYTIC LODES—ROSSLAND, SOUTH AUSTRALIA,
AND BraDEN Ming, CHiLE—The two divisions of the primary
lodes are due to solutions acting at different temperatures
and depths. Pneumatolytic lodes are formed at the higher
temperatures and are associated with tourmaline or fluorides.
Thus at Svartdal, in Norway, the ore occurs with tourmaline
in a granite of which the felspar has been replaced by quartz
and mica, Copperopolis in Oregon owes its name to ore
with tourmaline in diabase. The ore of Vogtland, in Saxony,
was due to fluoric acid and is in thick veins of fluorite with
occasional tin.
At Rossland on the southern border of British Columbia
(C. W. Drysdale, G.S. Canada, Mem. 77, 1915), another
lode-type has been formed in a massif of monzonite. The
lode minerals include much biotite and a little tourmaline,
with copper, gold, and nickel. The lodes are often 25 feet
thick, and have in part replaced the walls. The lodes were
