Kunz — Native Antimony from New Brunswick. 275 



I might also add in further proof of southerly dip, that all 

 the streams flowing in easterly or westerly directions in the 

 Tertiary territory of Alabama, have steep escarpments on the 

 southern banks, and gentle southerly slopes on the northern. 



That with a general dip toward the south, the Tertiary 

 strata will outcrop across the country in approximately parallel 

 belts, the newer beds appearing farthest south, is plain enough. 

 Now in fact we have, going southward, the outcrops of the 

 Tertiary formations in the following order : 



1st, Lignitic; 2d, Buhrstone; 3d, Claiborne; and 4th, White 

 limestone. There is but one exception to this order known to 

 us, and that is of very limited extent, and plainly due to a 

 flexure which can be traced out. In the same way, the Cre- 

 taceous outcrops lie to the northward of those of the Tertiary. 



It seems to me that this relative position geographically of 

 the outcrops of the formations, taken together with the general 

 direction of the dip, would, to say the least, go far to prove 

 their relative age. 



Indeed the stratigraphical evidence of the superposition of 

 the White limestone above the Claiborne sands is so abundant, 

 so conclusive, and so completely without contradiction from a 

 solitary fact, that it has, so far as I know, never been called in 

 question by any geologist familiar with the field of their 

 occurrence. 



Art. XXXV. — Native Antimony and its Associations at Prince 

 William, York County, New Brunswick;* by George F. 

 Kunz. 



The Brunswick antimony mine is situated in Prince William 

 Parish, York County, New Brunswick, on the right bank of 

 the St. John Eiver, 24 miles from Fredrickton, and 96 miles 

 from St. John, New Brunswick. The locality was discovered 

 about 1860, and a few years later the Prince William, the 

 Hubbard and the Lake George minesf were opened ; all of 

 these were ultimately absorbed by the Brunswick mine. At 

 the present time this company controls a tract of land three 

 miles by five, containing many veins of stibnite, and forming 

 one of the largest antimony deposits known. 



In the early working of the mines, native antimony was 

 only rarely observed, and was not even mentioned in the reports

f This locality is briefly mentioned by Dr. L. "W. Bailey in a letter to Professor 

 B. Silliman, see this Journal, xxxv, 150, 1863. Messrs. Hayes and Jackson also 

 mention this locality in the Geology of New Brunswick by Dr. L. W. Bailey, 

 1865. See also Report of the Geology of New Brunswick, 1865, by Henry
