ALABAMA MICA DEPOSITS 7f> 



nished and for assistance given in going over the work 

 done under his direction at the following localities: 



The S. W. 14 of N. W. 1/4, of Section 8, Township 18 

 S., Range 11 E. One, and probably two, distinct and 

 parallel leads of pegmatite are indicated by outcrops as 

 crossing this lot with an observed strike of N. 45 E., dip- 

 ping S. E. Developments made were on the most wester- 

 ly of the two leads, near the center of the 40, and con- 

 sisted of shafts about 20 feet in depth, one of which be- 

 ing wrongly located developed nothing, the other yielded 

 only small mica from a kaolinized dyke made up of an 

 aggregate of small angular fragments of quartz in forma- 

 tive kaolin. 



S. W. of this shaft, in a bluff on the creek bank, the 

 same pegmatite body is exposed under a massive overlay 

 of quartz, carrying some sizable mica crystals next to the 

 upper contact. The developments made on this lot have 

 not been properly located to have any material bearing 

 on the possible mica values carried. 



The N. W. 14 of N. E. % of Section 6, Township 18 S., 

 Range 10 E. Two leads of pegmatite of N.E.-S.W. ex- 

 tension are traceable across this property. On the most 

 westerly of these leads, a shaft was being sunk at the 

 time of the examination in which shaft good flat mica of 

 fair size and in considerable amounts was being taken 

 out near the bottom, mainly recovered from the upper 

 or hanging wall contact of a kaolinized pegmatite dyke 

 eight feet in thickness, the foot wall having been not yet 

 reached. 



On the easterly lead, pegmatite shows up just south of 

 the house in an outcrop of quartz, but no testing had 

 been done here or elsewhere on this lead. 



The S. E. % of N. W. % of Section 6, Township 18 S., 

 Range 10 E. Two and possibly three pegmatite forma- 

 tions are traceable across this property of N.E.-S.W. 

 strike. Developments have been limited to the sinking 

 of two pits in the S. W. corner of the lot, from which, to 

 the depth reached of about 15 to 20 feet, only A-form 

 mica in small amounts had been taken out.
