Attributed throughout the rock-mass. Cooling, drying, hardening, ac-
companied by extensive earth-movements, afterwards produced fis-
sures and joints in the earth’s crust. Through these crevices, the
water circulated, carrying in solution various minerals, leached from
the rocks, through which they circulated. A reduction of temper-
ature and a decrease in pressure, as the water ascended, reduced
the solubility of the gold and other minerals, held in solution, and
caused them to be deposited along the walls of the fissures, thus
forming auriferous veins. Such, in brief, is a condensed outline of
the most probable theories, as to the origin of gold veins.
