Kilometres ^ne m ^ e ( Im ^ km.) beyond where the railway 



crosses a small lake, the railway crosses an 

 anticlinal axis. The Waverly gold district is 

 situated on this anticlinal, one half mile to the 

 east of the railway. 



13-9 m. Windsor Junction. Alt. 129 ft. (36-8 m.). 



22 -4 km. The Canadian Pacific railway joins the Inter- 

 colonial railway at Windsor Junction. At a 

 distance of about 1 mile (1 . 6 km.) from the junc- 

 tion, the Canadian Pacific railway enters a 

 zone of dark slates belonging to the upper divi- 

 sion of the Goldbearing series. The belt has 

 a width of about 3! miles (5 . 6 km.) and in it the 

 strata lie in two synclinal folds. On the north- 

 west side of this belt of slates, the lower strata 

 of the quartzite division again outcrop. The 

 boundary between the two divisions crosses 

 Fenerty lake — a long narrow lake along whose 

 southeast shore the railway runs for some 

 distance. 



The band of quartzites has a width of 4! miles 

 (7.6 km.) . The strata lie in the form of an anti- 

 cline whose axis strikes N.E — S.W. The measures 

 in general dip at angles of from 50 to 65 . 

 Leaving Fenerty lake whose waters are about 

 250 feet (76.1 m.) above the sea, the railway 

 climbs to a height of 456 feet (139 m.) and recros- 

 ses the height of land separating the waters 

 draining southeast to the Atlantic from those 

 draining northwest to the Bay of Minas. 



Three quarters of a mile (1 . 1 km.) beyond the 

 crossing of the height of land, the railway enters 

 South Uniacke gold district which is located 

 on an anticlinal dome near the northwestern 

 border of the quartzite belt. 



23 • 7 m. South Uniacke Station. Alt. 449 ft. 



38-1 km. (13-4.) South Uniacke station is close to the 

 border of the quartzite belt. Beyond South 

 Uniacke the railway crosses a belt of slates, 

 1 1 miles (2.4 km.) wide. The strata lie in two 

 synclinal folds: the lower quartzite division 

 is exposed in places along the intervening 

 anticline.
