hundred feet east of tlie break, becoming more marked east- 

 ward. It will be noticed that the axes of the local folds dip in 

 opposite directions from those of the main ones ; as is to be ex- 

 pected if division ii is a development of division i. 



Division Hi: north anticline. — In division iii, the northern- 

 most outcrop is a vein on areas 227 and 228. It is doubtful 

 whether this is parallel with the stratification ; and as it is some 

 distance beyond the main field, it will not be considered either 

 in map or section. Leads east of the middle fault which have 

 always been regarded as continuations of the Copper and Little 

 North have been worked, in some cases to a depth of 200 feet. 

 From the character of the gangue, and the adjacent sediments, 

 there is little doubt that those two and the Big North are repre- 

 sented in this division. The dips become noticeably lower 

 toward the axis, as is characteristic of the north anticline, which 

 has everywhere a full top and rounded north side. Between the 

 Big North, called the North Sutherland at its east end, and the 

 quarry on areas 73 and 74, there is only one exposure. This is 

 a small pit on the line between areas 12G and 127, where the 

 rock is slate, lying flat. As far as can be learned from those 

 who prospected this zone in earlier years, the strata are almost 

 entirely slate, resembling that of division ii north of the Jo. 

 Taylor belt. 



Division Hi : subsidiary co nip o unci fold. — In the quarry 

 on areas 73 and 74 is a horizon corresponding to part of the 

 larger quarry to the west. On the south the hanging wall lead 

 of the Jo. Taylor belt outcrops, overlain by the usual whin 

 stratum. The foot-wall lead of this belt forms much of the 

 floor of the excavation. On the north side the strata dip north 

 at angles varying from 20° to nearly 40°. On the south the dip 

 is 30° to 45° S. Between is a small but distinct syncli-nal sag 

 (pi. 8, fig. a). This, then, is the perfection of the fold prophe- 

 sied in division i and shown in an incomplete form in 

 division ii. Not only has an anticline been formed on the side
