is near the pit on the west limb of the anticline cutting the Chester- 

 field limestone. It is 4 feet 10 inches wide and runs from north 

 65 ° to north 8o° west. The other dike is situated on the west hill 

 slope and is 1 foot 9 inches in thickness and extends across the 

 foliation of the granite north 76 east. 



Water supply. It is quite possible that there is a sufficient 

 amount of water available on the property. The outlet of Trout 

 pond alone may be sufficient although more water could be secured 

 from this brook after it had been enforced by the stream that 

 crosses the anticline, as shown on the map. If, however, this supply 

 proved to be too scanty it is quite possible that water could be 

 secured for boiler and mill use from Trout pond. 



Transportation. The secondary roads from the pits to the main 

 highway are in fair condition. The renewing of the culverts and 

 bridges and a little grading would make the property very accessible. 

 It is 4 miles by highway to Clintonville through which the Ausable 

 Forks branch of the D. & H. railroad runs. This road although 

 quite passable for a motor car is rather hilly and it might be that 

 some improvement would be necessary in order that heavy laden 

 trucks could use it. 



Summary. This property exhibits in some places ore that is of 

 unusually high quality. Some care must be taken to establish the 

 exact limits of the ore on the west and on the east sides of the 

 valley. At the present time the position of the contact between the 

 ore and the igneous rocks is only approximately known. However, 

 it is certainly worth while to conduct exploratory work on this 

 deposit.
