J43 



which may be seen to the east of New Liskeard, 

 known as Wabi point, is composed of Niagara 

 limestone. Seven miles northeast of New 

 Liskeard station is the Casey Cobalt silver 

 mine, which is one of 'the few properties, out- 

 side of the main Cobalt silver area, which has 

 shipped high-grade silver ore. 

 128.59m. Altitude 816 ft. (248.6 m.). At Earlton a 



206.7 km. branch line extends from the main line to the 



Elk Lake silver area. 

 138.48 m. Englehart, altitude 677 ft. (206.2 m.). 



232.7 km. From this point a short line extends westward 



to the Charlton farming area A part of this 

 line from mileage one to two and three-quarters 

 has been constructed along the north side of a 

 high, rocky ridge. In the rock cuttings are ex- 

 posed massive and schistose Keewatin rocks, 

 some of which are greatly altered, showing 

 torsion cracks, filled with calcite and quartz, 

 numerous faults and crushed areas. The Kee- 

 watin is intruded in places by diabase dikes. 

 Where schistose, the rocks strike N. 8o° E. and 

 dip N. 6o°. 

 146 m. Altitude 770 ft. (234.6 m.). The first out- 



234.8 km. cropping of rock on the main line occurs at the 



crossing of the Blanche river, just south of 

 Krugerdorf station. Here the track is no feet 

 (33.4 m.) above the rapids which are formed 

 by a barrier of massive, flesh-colored granite. 



North of this point rock exposures become 

 more numerous, showing here and there through 

 the stratified clay. These consist of coarse, 

 reddish granite as far as mileage 153. Just 

 south of this mile the acid rock is gneissoid, 

 showing pink and grey bands striking N. 72 W. 

 Glacial striae are well preserved on the granite 

 showing a direction of S. io° E. This granite 

 has been used in the construction of the station 

 at Matheson. 



North of mileage 153 a Keewatin area is 

 entered. The rocks are largely greenstones, 

 some of which are basalt, showing occasionally
