uestion 5? K 5>
The )omstock 2ode in Cevada was the scene of one of
the biggest silver mining booms in the history of the opening
up of the Corth American West. It was discovered in /=9>, but
productivity did not reach its peak until the /=<?'s when many
large silver deposits were discovered. A large number of mines
are scattered along the five K kilometer length of the lode,
which is basically a minerali;ed fault ;one, separating
geologically young andesite and dacite lavas from older rocks.
The lode forms a flattish sheet, inclined at about 8? degrees to
the hori;ontal, and reaches a ma#imum thickness of /3? meters
and a depth of /,??? meters, although most of the richest ore
was found well above this level.
As in so many of the world's mines, the mining
operations on the )omstock 2ode were severely hampered by
water flooding into the workings. At )omstock, though, the
problems were particularly acute, since the water was
e#tremely hot, reaching :8 degrees )elsius in some place.
6eologically, the presence of such large volumes of hot water
was immensely significant, since it implied that beneath the
)omstock 2ode there was still a large mass of hot igneous rock 
that might be producing more minerali;ation. 1or a long while
this nearscalding water made it impossible to mine much
below the /,???meter level, and many miners were killed by
it, either directly by falling into the water or indirectly through
mine galleries. Co fewer than 95 miners died in one period of
33 months ending in @ay /=<<. To combat this it was decided

Woodpeckers also use their powerful beaks to beaks to
e#cavate nest holes in tree trunks, drilling first of all a neat
hori;ontal hole, the chiseling downward for a foot or so and
there cutting out a chamber. They frequently choose dead trees,
no doubt because the rotting wood is softer to work than that of 
living trees. 0uch trees also are usually infected by bark
 beetles, which provide a rich food supply conveniently near at
hand.
The drumming noise made by the rapid blows of
woodpecker's beak on a tree trunk is one of the most
characteristic sounds of the forest. The birds do not produce it
solely when they are feeding or e#cavating a nest. They birds
tattoos on echoing timber for the same reason that other birds
sing, to declare possession of a territory and to attract a mate.
Each species has its own length of drumroll with its own
characteristic interval between one burst and the ne#t.
*ifferent species of the woodpeckers family speciali;e
in different foods. The green woodpecker, as well as taking
 barkboring beetles, often descends to the ground to forage for
ants. The wryneck is even more dependent upon ants. It is not
 primarily a climber at all and lacks the stiff propping tail of
other woodpeckers, but it does have the usual long sticky
tongue, which it flicks into a nest of ants to bring out /9? of
them at a time. The acorn woodpeckers e#ploits its wood
 boring skills by drilling neat holes in tree trunks, the diameter
of which e#actly accommodates acorns. It will cover a favored
tree with several hundred such holes and store several acorns in
each of them, so accumulating a massive larder for the winter.
An even more speciali;ed group within the family, the
sapsuckers, bore holes in tree trunks for a quite different
 purpose. They choose living trees of species that produce
liberal flows of sap and drill numerous small, squarish holes in
them. The liquid that trickles out attracts insects that the
sapsucker collects and then mi#es with the sap to produce a
little sweetmeat.
