metasomatic quartz vein directly on its western bedding plane. To the 
east of this slate there follows 8 inches of sandstone., and then a second 
bed of green slate with a ferruginous track on a bedding plane, the other 
beds being grey, medium-grained, sandstones- (Fig. 20.) 
Sketch Section showing Indicator and Cross Vein. Scale 5 ft. to i inch. 
The sandstone shows numerous thin horizontal quartz veins faulted at 
the slates and continuing on through the next sandstone beds, but only in 
the one case has a cross vein cut the slate, and where this occurred the 
gold was found on the indicator. This vein is formed by quartz and 
ironstone; it is from T } T inch up to J inch in thickness, and carries gold 
for a width of 6 inches up to 1 foot near the surface. The total yield 
of gold up to the slide, which cut everything off, was 5 oz. 4 dwt. 12 grs., 
including one specimen of 3 dwt. The cross vein has been followed for 
about 20 feet on the angle (45 deg. S.), and is exposed by an open cut to 
the surface. (Fig. 21.)
