MAGNETITE IRON DEPOSITS OF SOUTHEASTERN NEW YORK a5 
The old openings known as the Standish, Parrott and Raynor mines 
are situated on either side of the east fork of the highway which 
runs southerly from Warwick. They are about 2 miles south of 
Warwick, on the summit of the ridge and about one-fourth of a 
mile from the road. The Standish openings are north of the road, 
the Raynor, and the Parrott lying south of the road. 
8 Isolated occurrences in Orange county. Bull mine. On 
the summit of an isolated hill of gneiss locally known as Bull hill, 
1% miles northeast of Oxford Depot, lies the Bull mine. Bull hill 
is one of the most westerly of the detached hills of gneiss which 
are surrounded on all sides by Cambro-Ordovician sediments. It 
owes its position to faulting. A “wedge inlier,” according to 
Charles P, Berkey and Miss Holzwasser,” or an “inlier caused by 
diastrophism ” according to Ruedemann.**® About 144 miles south- 
west of Monroe and one-half of a mile southeast of the east shore 
of Round pond lies the Clove mine, at an elevation of about 740 
feet. The old openings were sunk through the drift to rock in a 
low, drift-covered hill of gneiss. 
Three miles south of Monroe and about 134 miles southeast of 
the Clove mine, occur the old open cuts known as the O’Neill (or 
Nail) and Forshee mines. The open cut of the O'Neill mine is just 
a few hundred feet southwest of a recently constructed road which 
forks southeastwardly from the highway leading to Lake Mom- 
basha, about 144 miles northeast of the lake. The Forshee mine is 
situated on the southeast side of the hill directly southwest of the 
O’Neill mine, about one-half of a mile of it. These old openings 
may lie along the same belt of ore, but the belt is short and the 
magnetite bodies are separated by a considerable interval. 
One mile west and slightly north of the Forshee mine, about one- 
fourth of a mile west of the north end of Lake Mombasha, is a 
small opening known as the Mombasha mine. There are, in addi- 
tion, a number of other openings in various places in the county, 
none of which are of any consequence as possible sources of iron- 
ore, and most of which are mere prospect pits.
