MINERALS OCCURRING IN CANADA. lOl 



numerovis large aud well-defiued veius of quartz, fiUiug Hues of dislocatiou iu highly 

 tilted argillaceous slates aud quartzites : also at Rawdou — where, iu associatiou with 

 a little quartz aud calcite, it coustitutes a veiu cutting talcose slates, — aud West Gore, 

 Hants county, proviuce of Nova Scotia. It is found iu small radiating prismatic 

 crystallizations, with native autimouy, valeutinite, seuarmontite aud kerraesite, iu 

 veins iu argillite, iu the township of South Ham (Wolfe Co.), proviuce of Quebec. It 

 has been met with iu small quautities, iu associatiou with pyrite aud mica, iu a baud 

 of crystalliue dolomite iu the township of Sheffield (Addiugtou Co.), aud in small 

 masses mixed with tremolite, uuder similar conditions, iu the township of Marmora 

 (Hastings Co.), proviuce of Outario — also occurs uear Foster's Bar, about tweuty- 

 three miles from Lyttou, Fraser River, proviuce of British Columbia. 

 240. Stilbite — Is abundant, and exhibits a large number of crystallized varieties, often of 

 great beauty, at Partridge Island (Cumberland Co.), Hall's Harbor aud Mordeu 

 (King's Co.), aud Margaretville (Annapolis Co.), in the proviuce of Nova Scotia. 

 Aual., H. How, Phil. Mag., 5 ser., vol. i, p. 134, ISlQ. 



247. Strontianite — Occurs, iu the form of white fibrous tufts, iu cracks iu concretionary 

 limestoue masses iu the Utica slate of St. Helen's Islaud, Moutrial, proviuce of 

 Quebec. Anal., B.J. Harrington, Traus. Roy. See. Can., vol. i, sec. iii., p. 81, 1882-83. 



248. SuLPHATiTE — The water of the so-called Sour Spring of Tuscarorai (Brant Co.), as also 

 that of a spriug iu the south-west corner of Niagara, aud of one at St. David's, iu the 

 same township (Lincoln Co.), aud of another about a mile aud a-half above ChippL^- 

 wa (Wellaud Co.), iu the proviuce of Outario, are all remarkable for coutaiuing a 

 large proportion of free sulphuric acid. Aualyses, T. S. Hunt, Geol. Cau., 1863, pp. 

 540, 545. 



249. Sulphur. Native, — Has been met with iu the form of shattered crystals, iu a gypsum 

 quarry iu Colchester county, proviuce of Nova Scotia. It occurs as a deposit from 

 sulphurous spriugs iu several localities in the proviuce of Ontario, as at Charlotteville 

 (Norfolk Co.), aud iu Cliutou (Huron Co.), at which latter place there is a deposit 

 affording masses of pure yellow compact, or fiue-graiued, sulphiir, together with 

 small transparent crystals of the same. Has also beeu found, iu associatiou with 

 sal-ammouiac, as a deposit ou clills of shale ou Smoky River, North-west Territory. 

 Aual., G. C. Hoffmann, Rep. Geol. Can., 18'75-7G, p. 420. 



250. Sylvanite — Occurs, iu associatiou with argeutite aud more or less galenite aud 

 chalcopyrite, iu a gangue of white sub-trausluceut cjuartz, at the Huroniau miue, 

 township of Moss, District of Thunder Bay, province of Outario. 



251. Tachylite— Occurs, according to Dr. G. M. Dawson (Rep. Geol. Cau., 1876-77, p. 

 84), as masses iu agglomerate, uear the entrance of Peuinsula Bay, Fraser Lake, 

 proviuce of British Columbia. 



252. Talc — Talc iu crystalline foliated masses is sometimes met with iu Canada, but it 

 more frequently forms beds of a compact or schistose variety of steatite or soapstoue, 

 iuterstratified with serpentine, maguesite, or clay-slate, aud often euclosiug actiuo- 

 lite, or bitter-spar. These beds, which occur iu strata of Pre-Cambriau or Cambriau 

 age, aud are often of considerable thickness aud extent, lie priucipally iu the town- 

 ships of Bolton, Sutton aud Pottou (Brome Co.), iu the proviuce of Quebec. An 

 unctuous foliated rock, consisting of tab; with intermixed carbonates of lime and
