EDDY : LEAD VEINS.

miner had difficulty in even boring the ground. Probably the 
barytes had become somewhat harder by exposure to the air. 
In the west end of the mine approaching Carleton Moor a trial 
has been in progress to trace the vein through the lower members 
of the Kinder-Scout grit into the limestone shales of the Carleton 
anticlinal. This has been a difficult matter, owing to the cross 
veins and the weakness of the right running veins. (Further trials 
in the western ground have shown considerable disturbance of the 
strata from the intersection of several " fault veins " in close con- 
junction, but though the mine has been closed 1 think the appear- 
ance of the vein just east of the disturbance justifies the hope that 
it would prove a productive one if it were explored west of the 
intersections, and in the settled beds which are known to exist 
there). 
The total quantity of ore produced from the two veins is 
about 15,000 tons. The upper part of the old vein produced some 
carbonate of lead but not in quantity. 
The only other places near, where any ore has been produced 
from the Kinder-Scout grit is at Cowling, about 1 J miles west of 
Cononley, where a trial was made and about 3 J tons of ore raised. 
Trials were also made in the grit on Bradley M oor, and on 
Carleton Moor, but without success. 
In the limestone of the district there are north and south veins 
running across theaxis of the Carleton Park-head and also of the 
Skipton Haw- Bank Quarries. From the former place, about 1 5 
tons have been obtained, and from the latter, about 13 tons. These 
veins are very uncertain but carry ore of good quality in self lumps 
in the clay of the lode.
