Ri We have beel handed a piece of rock
that bore d remarkable resemblance te
sSguartz that had been partially decom
sposed and its solid parts stained by the
aoxidization of minerals. It was taken
shom between the tubes of an old boiler
that was being repaired at Lakenan's
8foundry. The boiler has been in use fol
some years al quartz mines in this dis
sEtrict, and Gherockswas the result of the
accretions or precipitation the steam
ssthat permeated or escaped from the
Sstubes, and In the course Of years hard
ssened into stone some three inches il
sthickness. To all appearances it was Il
quartz formation, and would be so pro-
ssnounced by any miner of experience
81 The process by which the stone was
Horned would be strong proof Of the
Atheory that quartz veins are of aqueous
i formation, and that the forces may be
still actively at work in Natures labora
Alory creating the assures and filling
them with the deposits Of distinctive
a8mineral character that come from the
Swaters and the so-called scountry-rock.
