deep water versus near-shore conditions. But in dealing with 

 recrystallized sediments the degree of metamorphism enters as a 

 factor to render the problem more complex. The absence of the 

 Faxon limestone seems to be confined to the eastern edge of the 

 area. As we shall see, this bed is wanting in nearly all the mines 

 in the South Bay district. Does this mean that the old shore of the 

 Grenville sea was to the east, that is, as far as Faxon time is 

 concerned ? 



This feldspar-schist grades into the typical Swede Pond quartzite. 

 Higher beds than this formation are not shown in the vicinity of 

 Hague. There is no question in the writer's mind that the Lakeside 

 mine exhibits the same graphitic bed now being worked at Graphite. 



The ore. The ore is very similar, if not identical, in character 

 to the Dixon schist shown on the Dixon-Faxon properties. The 

 specimens collected are exceedingly low in mica and unusually high 

 in graphite which may run as high as 10 per cent. 1
