  Parish 
  ore 
  body. 
  This 
  deposit 
  is 
  8 
  miles 
  east 
  of 
  Monterey, 
  on 
  

   Tracy 
  pond 
  outlet, 
  Clifton 
  township. 
  Its 
  outcrop 
  has 
  been 
  

   uncovered 
  by 
  trenching 
  for 
  a 
  short 
  distance, 
  but 
  it 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  

   explored 
  in 
  depth. 
  The 
  width 
  shown 
  is 
  about 
  8 
  feet. 
  The 
  deposit 
  

   appears 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  steep 
  dip 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  actual 
  width 
  is 
  probably 
  

   near 
  the 
  figure 
  given. 
  The 
  wall 
  rock 
  is 
  fine 
  grained 
  grayish 
  

   gneiss, 
  while 
  nearby 
  reddish 
  granitic 
  gneiss 
  is 
  exposed, 
  and 
  within 
  

   a 
  mile 
  distant 
  an 
  area 
  of 
  crystalline 
  limestone 
  and 
  sedimentary 
  

   schists. 
  The 
  magnetite 
  is 
  mixed 
  with 
  the 
  minerals 
  of 
  the 
  gray 
  

   gneiss 
  and 
  with 
  red 
  garnet, 
  yet 
  is 
  fairly 
  rich. 
  It 
  has 
  a 
  coarse 
  

   granular 
  texture. 
  It 
  contains 
  no 
  pyrite 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  observed. 
  It 
  

   is 
  reported 
  that 
  a 
  line 
  of 
  magnetic 
  attraction 
  can 
  be 
  traced 
  for 
  800 
  

   feet 
  north 
  and 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  tract 
  along 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  the 
  vein. 
  The 
  

   analysis 
  below 
  is 
  from 
  a 
  sample 
  of 
  the 
  ore.

  SALISBURY 
  MINE, 
  HERKIMER 
  COUNTY 
  

  

  This 
  mine 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Salisbury, 
  5 
  miles 
  north 
  of 
  Dolge- 
  

   ville, 
  the 
  present 
  terminus 
  of 
  the 
  branch 
  railroad 
  running 
  north 
  

   from 
  Little 
  Falls. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  magnetite 
  mine 
  in 
  this 
  section 
  

   of 
  the 
  Adirondacks 
  that 
  has 
  been 
  actively 
  worked. 
  

  

  The 
  deposit 
  apparently 
  was 
  discovered 
  about 
  1840. 
  Vanuxem 
  

   who 
  has 
  given 
  a 
  brief 
  description 
  of 
  it 
  states 
  that 
  a 
  small 
  amount 
  

   of 
  ore 
  had 
  been 
  taken 
  out 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  making 
  his 
  report. 
  1 
  It 
  

   is 
  probable 
  that 
  the 
  old 
  pits 
  located 
  along 
  the 
  outcrop 
  of 
  the 
  ore 
  

   body 
  date 
  from 
  this 
  period. 
  The 
  quantity 
  of 
  ore 
  mined 
  during 
  the 
  

   early 
  operations 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  matter 
  of 
  record 
  though 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  

   openings 
  leads 
  one 
  to 
  infer 
  that 
  it 
  did 
  not 
  exceed 
  a 
  few 
  thousand 
  tons.
