54 GEOLOGY OF MOOSE RIV^ER GOLD DISTRICT WOODMAN. 



they turn from their former strike ; and another on areas 126 

 and 175 is of the same kind. These were met in the old under- 

 ground workings, and have not been visible during the progress 

 of this study. On area 72 is a very local fault cutting the Jo. 

 Taylor belt, and met in tunnelling in earlier years. On area 73, 

 at the west end of the quarry, a fault with a horizontal dis- 

 placement of scarcely four feet is visible. Here, as along most 

 of the faults, the east side has gone north with reference to the 

 west. On the south side of the quarry is a small break with a 

 strike N. 73° E., and a dip 87° S. Slickensides show the south 

 to have gone east horizontally. The whole is, like many others, 

 too minute to plot on the map. It is the nearest to a strike 

 fault of any in the district. At the northeast corner of the 

 quarry a slight dislocation runs northwest. On area 75, at the 

 west end of the quarry which occupies its center, slickensides 

 show a slight perpendicular fault or series of parallel ones, run- 

 ning about northwest. The direction of motion cannot be made 

 out. On area 177 a fault has cut off the leads which come from 

 the west. The displacement is unknown, because no develop- 

 ment work has been done immediately to the east ; but it must 

 be small. A fault of some length, which appeal's to die out at 

 both ends, runs through areas 77, 124 and 123. It does not 

 influence the south anticlinal axis. It is visible at the east end 

 of the quarry on area 77, as a perpendicular slickensided fissure. 

 The displacements of the axes of the local fold are reckoned from 

 the distribution of dips in the immediate vicinity. On area 123 

 the flat-lying lead is cut off" by a break which must, however, be 

 very local. On areas 24 and 77 is a fault which has a displace- 

 ment of four feet at the south end, and hardlj^ so much at the 

 north, where the Cowan lead is visibly dislocated by it. There 

 are probably many more faults, covered by the drift, which more 

 extensive development may bring to light. 



JOINTS. 

 It is a marked characteristic of the district, and apparently 

 of the series throughout, to have many local joints but no great
