quite perpendicular. The Smith belt contains two leads, and an 

 angular on the foot- wall of the northernmost, in the shaft. This 

 is the belt which, when worked east, was found to curve around 

 the south end of the middle fault. A few feet south lies the 

 South Flat lead, five inches thick, parallel with the Smith. Ifc 

 has been exposed for several yards in a shallow cut, and curves 

 on the strike, parallel to the former. Its eastern exposure^ 

 where it was possible to get the dip accurately in 1899, is really 

 in division iii. 



Division Hi : north anticline. — On the east side of this 

 fault block, a few feet north of the Copper, is a four-inch lead 

 which does not, however, appear to be equivalent to No. 7. 

 The Copper still has two leads, giving a foot of crushing material, 

 including the slate which bounds it. The Little North has two 

 feet of crushing material in the west, and one foot in the eastern 

 half of the block. The Little South is a thin curly lead, with 

 soft slate adjacent to it, giving a foot of good crushing rock. 

 The Big North does not roll so much as at the west plunge, and 

 averasres about eio;ht inches in thickness. At the east end of 

 the block it is called the North Sutherland, although there is no 

 reason to regard it as a differenu lead. It thins somewhat to the 

 east, being only five inches across, east of the road. On area 28 

 is a one-inch lead. 



Division Hi : subsidiary anticline. — Between this lead and 

 the large quarry, no veins are exposed. Here the hanging wall 

 lead of the Jo. Taylor belt comes up steeply from the south on 

 the south side ; and on the east end where it plunges, it runs 

 under the whin cap shown in pi. 8, fig. a. There it was gouged 

 out for nearly 200 feet east, with a small part of the belt under 

 it, leaving the rest of the belt and the whin cap. The foot-wall 

 lead forms the floor of the quarry over about two-thirds of its 

 width northward, thence sinking steeply southward on the south 

 side and gently northward on the north. It does not sag in the 

 syncline so much as the hanging wall lead. It is strikingly 

 corrugated, in waves of four inches amplitude and less. The
