 rocks with fine grained galena and tantalite. One and one-half inches of cassiterite 

 on one side of largest vein, which is ten inches wide. Gangue feldspar, quartz, 

 fluorspar, and "sparry iron"; vein runs into white cryolite. Other accompanying 

 minerals are " blende," copper, iron and arsenical pyrites, black cryolite, " molyb- 

 dena," and zircon. No wolframite.
