to 3 feet thick and dip 5°-10° E. Vertical joints strike N. G5°-70° E. ; 
also N. 75°-80° W. The latter form a discontinuous heading in 
middle of quarry. Coarse pegmatite dikes up to 2 feet thick have 
courses of N. 00° E., north to south, and N. 20° E. 
The plant consists of 3 derricks and 3 engines, 4 steam drills, 2 
| pumps, and 1 gas engine for same.
