Page 200 - Gash-veins may cross the formation at any angle, but are limited to one particular group of strata, and are peculiar to the unaltered sedimentary rocks. True veins are aggregations of mineral matter, accompanied by metalliferous ores, within a crevice or fissure, which had its origin in some deep-seated cause, and which may be presumed to extend for an indefinite distance downwards.

Page 594 - ... ground-water lying below water-level is not stagnant, but descends by capillarity, and since it cannot be simply consumed in depth, receives there through a higher temperature a tendency to return towards the surface, which tendency is most easily satisfied through open channels. Stated summarily:* The ground-water descends in the deep regions also through the capillaries of the rocks ; at a certain depth it probably moves laterally towards open conduits, and, reaching these, it ascends through...
Page 225 - Sometimes, it is said, the rock- fragments are cemented together with massive cinnabar, and kernels of rock crusted with cinnabar occur frequently. Hot mineral water and gases carrying H2S force their way through the interstices of the deposit, as was the case observed in the upper zones. The silica deposits are found in all stages of consolidation, from a gelatinous mass to chalcedony, and (Le Contc, op.
Page 211 - ... towards the deepest point of the surface of the region, or towards a point where an impermeable rock outcrops. The ground-water is not stagnant, but moves, though with relative slowness, according to the difference in height and the size of the interstitial spaces, down the plane mentioned, and finds its way, in the first instance, directly into the nearest surface-stream, or, in the second instance, forms a spring, which takes indirectly a similar course.
