134 ANTHRACITE IN A FISSURE LODE 



APPENDIX I. 



Parallel Cases. 

 It may be as well to here refer to the few other cases 

 known to me of coal accompanying metallic sulphides in 

 fissure lodes. 



Germany. 

 Ulrich has stated* that mineral coal occurs in ore 

 lodes in several mining districts in Germany, but I have 

 been unable to discover his original authority. 



United States. 



The association of coal with lead and zinc sulphides 

 has been notedf in Missouri, but, from the brief descrip- 

 tions written, it would seem that the ores there occur not 

 in lodes but in coal seams ; and that the metals were 

 precipitated by the carbonaceous matter from percolating 

 meteoric waters. 



Canada. 



A carbonaceous material similar to non-caking bitum- 

 inous coal has been saidj to occur in a mica vein in 

 Quebec, but confirmation of this is needed. 



Tasmania. 



Anthracite has been reported from several mines in 

 Tasmania. Mr. W. F. Petterd quoted§ Ulrich in 

 reference to an occurrence of anthracite " in irregular 

 veins up to ^-inch in size enclosed in calcite and siderite 

 in the abandoned lead mine North Valley, Mt. Bischoff." 



In the same work Mr. F. Danvers Power is credited 

 with having identified anthracite " in the workings of 

 various quartz reefs in the Beaconsfield Goldfield," but 

 the substance had already been determined|| by Messrs. 

 A. Montgomery, the then Government Geologist, and W. F. 

 Ward, the Government Analyst, to be a variety of lignite^
