obedience, without question, to some law yet unrecognized—the 
veins—whether Jodes* or cross-cowrses*—dip much more frequently 
towards, than from the granite; and—as well in the United Statest 
as in this country{—the veins which maintain a direction nearly 
meridianal,§ are, on the whole,—whatever their mineral char- 
acter—more highly inclined than such as range transversely|| to 
them. odes intersecting dissimilar rocks obliquely to the lines 
of their junctions, are sometimes slightly deflected,1 and occa- 
sionally pass for short distances between them ;** but they suffer 
no interruption, and soon resume their normal directions. Gene- 
rally speaking the junctions of different rocks occupy corre- 
sponding positions in both sides (walls) of lodes ;++ but this is not 
always the case; for the identical rocks which confront in the 
opposite cheeks of divers lodes during much of their horizontal and 
vertical range, occupy widely different positions,—whether they 
form the northern{{ or the southern,§§ the upper'||| (Aanging- 
wall) or the lower] (foot-wall)—sides of the selfsame lodes in
