...body of sulphide ore, for example, generally has higher electrical conductivity than the surrounding rock. If an electric current is passed through the ground, the flow of electricity will tend to concentrate in the material which offers least resistance to its passage, and valuable evidence concerning the relative conductivity of the rocks that comprise the area can be gained by observing with suitable devices the distribution of current. A convergence of flow lines into a good conductor can be readily detected, and even the effects of better conducting material at considerable depth can often be estimated with a fair degree...
Born in Kansas City, Tex Rickard was a Texas cowpuncher at 10, a town marshal at 23. Then he went goldward to Alaska, ran dance-halls, saloons, gaming-tables, dug ore with Novelist Rex Beach.
