18 THE IRON ORES OF. NICTAUX, AND 
To upset these drawbacks it must be remembered that the 
mining of these ores and their transportation would be cheaper 
than from almost any other iron ore district in Nova Scotia, and 
the preliminary outlays for machinery, drills, wire, tramways, 
etc., be reduced to a minimum by the facilities available for 
utilizing water power for generating electrical power. 
The following tables of analysis of samples from the out- 
crops of a number of these beds, as well as from the underground 
workings of the Torbrook mine, will serve to give an idea of 
the values of these ores :— 
The following analyses show the quality of the ore mined at
