40 ON A NEW TUNGSTEN (sCHEELITE) DEPOSIT 



in irruptive granite of probable Devonian age, about 11th June, 

 1909, by Dr. T. L. Walker, (see museum ace. nos. 3374 and 

 3688). The Geological Survey of Canada also reported Hub- 

 nerite as having been found near Lake Ramsay (Sum. Rept. 

 for 1907, p. 82), and Scheelite with cassiterite, copper pyrite, 

 and zinc blende in quartz-porphyry on the Wallabach Stream. 

 (Sum. Rept. for 1911, p. 339). 



About the 16th of May, 1911, Scheelite, with a little 

 arsenopyrite and oxides of iron and manganese, was found by 

 Orlando Harlow in a quartz vein, said to be six inches wide, in 

 slate, in the Gold Measures, a half mile west-northwest of Huey 

 Lake, about 2^ miles west of Baker Settlement and about 11 

 miles westward of Bridgewater, Lunenburg Co. Several veins 

 were located there. (See Geol. Surv. Canada Sum. Rept. for 

 1911, p. 339; and for sample of ore, see museum ace. no. 

 3757). 



Li Queen's County, the well-known prospector and local 

 geologist, Walter H. Prest, discovered white Scheelite in drift 

 at Fifteen-mile Brook, between Middlesfield and Greenfield, 

 about or shortly before May, 1911, (see museum ace. no. 

 3689, and Geol. Surv. Can. Sum. Rept. for 1911, p. 334); and 

 in October of the same year, E. R. Faribault of the Geological 

 Survey discovered that ore in situ in a quartz vein prospected 

 for gold by Mr. Ells at Fifteen-mile Brook, near Middleficld, 

 a short distance to the northeast of where Mr. Prest had pre- 

 viously found numerous loose pieces of the same mineral. This 

 is in the Quartzite Division of the Gold Measures. 



In 1911, the Provincial Museum received a specimen of 

 Scheelite with arsenopyrite in quartz from near Tangier, Guys- 

 borough Co., (see ace. no. 3698). About 1914, Mr. Brennan 

 discovered brownish-buff Scheelite in a vein cutting the Dun- 

 brack Vein, Oldham Gold District, Halifax Co., (see ace. no. 

 5042). And in 1919, George A. Cameron found buff-coloured 

 Scheelite with arsenopyrite in a sharp fold of an east-and-west 

 quartz vein of the Gold Measures, at a depth of 155 feet, in a 

 cross-cut south from the Kaulback shaft, on the old Torquoy
