SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention provides a method for establishing two or more cavities contemporaneously using a single well, from which to solution mine an inclined ore zone overlain by an insoluble strata and underlain by a thick soluble zone. Using established and proven drilling techniques, the borehole is drilled in a direction approximately parallel to the strike of the deposit with enough accumulative angle in order that it will enter the soluble bed underlying the ore zone in a near horizontal position. The drilling is continued at this level in a nearly horizontal but preferably slightly downward plane for some distance. The borehole is then cased and strings of tubing are placed at selected intervals to allow the solution cavities to develop. Openings with approximately vertical orientations are dissolved upward through the soluble bed into the overlying ore zone by injecting fresh water through the given strings of tubing. Solution mining of the ore zone can then commence. The denser, loaded brine migrates down through the openings of the cavities and is extracted through a string of pipe common to the cavities. 
    
    
     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     Referring to the drawing, a typical ore formation is shown for which the method of the present invention is particularly adapted. The formation shown in exemplary of the saline deposits of the Paradox Basin in southeast Utah. The rich but structurally deformed deposits of sylvinite (KCl.NaCl) within the Paradox Formation in that area have been known for many years. Basically, the Paradox Formation contains several zones of interbedded and potentially economic potash zones, and many of these are capped by a thick, insoluble rock zone. All are underlain by a thick layer of nearly pure halite (NaCl) or rock salt. The present invention, as will be described more fully below, takes advantage of this inclined orientation of the deposit, insoluble layer above the ore horizon and the thick, underlying salt beds to develop an effective and efficient mining system, even in spite of the fact that some of the mineralization of interest is below 7,000 feet. 
     The primary salt of interest is sylvinite (KCl-NaCl). However, this solution mining invention could also be used to mine double salts such as carnallite (KCl-MgCl 2 .6H 2  O), or any other soluble mineral found in a situation described above. 
     In a typical view of the formation shown in the drawing, the extractable ore zone (10) is located below ground level and slopes upwardly in the dip direction, i.e. from right to left, and as indicated by Arrow A. The strike direction, i.e. at a right angle to the dip direction, is indicated by Arrow B. 
     Within a few feet of the top of the ore zone (10) is the impermeable and insoluble rock zone (12) of shale, dolomite, anhydrite or the like. Immediately below the ore zone (10) is a thick salt halite zone (13). 
     The drill hole (14) extends vertically downward from ground level to a predetermined point above the ore zone. At this point, using established and proven drilling techniques, the well is drilled approximately on strike with the deposit using enough accumulative angle in order that the borehole will enter the salt zone (13) at a near horizontal attitude, i.e. angle E as shown on the drawing. The drilling is continued at this low angle from the horizontal in the salt zone (13) for a determined distance. 
     The borehole is cased as shown in the drawing. The main casing (15) is cemented in place at Point F as shown. For two cavity development, selected tubings (16 and 17) are hung inside of the main casing (15) and run out through the casing into the open borehole (14) as depicted. After the cemented casing is in place, the drill hole (14) is extended in a nearly horizontal attitude for a predetermined distance to allow room for cavity development. 
     In initial operation, fresh water is injected through the annular space between the casing (15) and the outer tubing (16) and also through the annular space between the outer tubing (16) and the inner tubing (17). The injected fluid, being less dense than the brine in the borehole will flow upward to the first solid layer encountered. During the initial operation of the system, the first zone encountered in the underlying halite (13) surrounding the borehole (14). The water, being undersaturated with respect to the salt, will immediately dissolve the contacted halite. The brine formed by dissolution (18 and 19), being more dense than the injected fluid (3 and 4), will gradually move downward as it is replaced by the less dense injected fluid. The brine is eventually forced to the extraction tubing located at or near the sump area. The continued action of the upward flowing injection fluid (3 and 4) will develop a &#34;chimney&#34; (20 and 21) extending upward from the termination of the annular space used for injection. The chimneys (20 and 21) formed will be of a suitable size to allow both injection water (3 and 4) to rise and the extraction brine (18 and 19) to fall with only minimal intermixing of fluids. After these openings are completed, the actual solution mining of the ore zone (10) is started. 
     In operation, fresh water is injected into mining cavities 1 and 2 through, respectively, pipes 15 and 16. The water (3 and 4) is discharged into the chimneys (20 and 21) and flows upward into the cavities in the directions shown on the drawing. The injected water flows upward in the chimneys since the water is less dense than the partially or fully saturated brine presently in the cavities. The solution mining of the cavities then takes place. The loaded brine, being the most dense fluid present, flows back downdip along the floor of the cavities (1 and 2) and down the chimneys (20 and 21). The brine from cavity is forced along the open borehole (14) to the sump below cavity 1 and is extracted along with the brine from cavity through tubing 17. 
     Although only a two-cavity system is shown in the drawing, a greater number of cavities could be developed by varying the number of strings of tubing.
