76 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF ALABAMA 



"Bagley Tract." Exploitation in a limited way as yet 

 has been by means of five pits, located, two in the S. E., 

 one in the S. W., and two in the N. W. corners of the 40. 

 In the N. W. corner, E. of the road, a shallow 8-foot pit 

 developed a recovered small amount of A-form mica. A 

 second pit, opened up 200 feet W. of the first one, showed 

 about the same conditions, as did also the pits sunk in 

 the S. E., and in the S. W. corners of the lot close to the 

 W. property line. Just across this line, on what is known 

 as the 



"Alexandria Lot" there is a closely combined group of 

 some five or six old open cuts in which a fairly good 

 showing of A-form and of some good flat mica was ob- 

 servable. As the pegmatite opened up by these old work- 

 ings has an indicated N. E. extension apparently into 

 and across the "Bagley Lot," it may, by competent pros- 

 pecting, be traced up and found to be there similarly mica- 

 ized. The openings on the N. W. corner of the lot are 

 said to have been made under the direction of Prof. Bain 

 of the University of Minnesota, and appear to have been 

 suggested by an observed and heavy outcrop of quartz, 

 but lie altogether in soft mica schist and were not of 

 sufficient extent or carried to sufficient depth to afford 

 much information of importance as to pegmatite condi- 

 tions existing under or associated with the quartz. 



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

 S., Range 10 E. Known as the 



"McAdoo Lot" No recent work has been done on this 

 40, which was at one time developed, and mica recovered, 

 from an old shaft and tunnel located in the S. E. corner of 

 the property. These old workings are now inaccessible, 

 and nothing definite is ascertainable about their history 

 or as to the mica recovered from them. 



The S. E. 14 of N. E. 14 of Section 2, Township 18 S., 

 Range 10 E. Property immediately adjoins the "Arnott" 

 Mine. On the east, near its N. E. corner, a pit 8 feet deep, 

 opened up on a pegmatite outcrop striking N.40E., and 

 dipping 30 S. E., developed some good flat mica of small 

 to medium sizes carried in a dyke about 3 feet in width. 

 Near the N. W. corner of the lot, two pits have been 

 sunk to a depth of 20 feet, developing nothing because im-
