posed. A sample of this ore gave 65.50 per cent of metallic 

 iron. See analysis V of table. About 40 feet still higher on 

 the hill another cut 3 feet deep also exposed the same kind of 

 ore. The lateral distance represented by the exposures made in 

 the three cuts mentioned above is approximately 350 feet. The 

 lead has been traced by means of float for a considerable dis- 

 tance beyond that exposed in the upper cut. The above all 

 indicates that there is a lens of very large size on this property. 



Bailouts Horse Creek, or Waughbank Property. — This prop- 

 erty is about 11/^ miles southwest of the Ballou-Piney Creek 

 property on the north bank of Horse Creek. About 100 yards 

 from the creek a tunnel was run by the Pennsylvania Steel 

 Company. The tunnel has a direction of IST. 40° E., and at a 

 distance of 100 feet a crosscut was made extending 46 feet 

 S. 40° W. 



This crosscut showed ore for its whole distance, making the 

 width of the ore deposit over 30 feet. This ore is composed of 

 coarse granular magnetite in a matrix composed of micaceous 

 material and manganese oxide. A rough estimate indicates 

 that about 70 per cent of the ore body would represent the iron 

 ore. This material was sampled and the results of the analysis 

 are given in VIII-A in the table beyond. This mineral can 

 readily be cobbed, which will raise the iron content. A sample 

 was also analyzed of the magnetic iron portions of the vein, 

 which gave 67.25 per cent of iron. The results of this analysis 

 are given in VIII of the Table of Analyses. 



Seventy-five to one hundred feet above the tunnel the vein 

 was exposed in an open cut ; but, on account of the cut having 

 caved in, nothing definite could be determined in regard to the 

 width of the vein. 



Graybeal Property. — About one-half a mile northeast of the 

 Waughbank property begins what is known as the Graybeal 

 properties. The first property encountered is the Calvin Gray- 

 beal. Only a very little development work has been done on 

 Ihis property, but float ore has been encountered, which would 

 indicate the continuation of the ore formation across the prop- 

 erty. 



A short distance north from the top of the hill on the Cal-
