 The g-ncial drift which swept down | from the noTthward and covered ..he | Canadas, New England and middje states, and extending as far westward ] as Minnesota, brought with 1t large masses of rocks, unfamiliar in the re- zion where they are now found. In New Jersey huge blocks of granite are found resting on the red sandstone of the Triassic. Tn central Ohio consid- erabie masses of pure copper have been found which undoubtedly were de- tached from the mass deposits of the Lake Superior region and transported on the ice sheet several hundred miles and dropped wheG-e found. Ths. un- E' deriving rocks Of the drift area have been planed down, secured and in some p4uces polished. Some Of the harder rocks still show the markings of the glacier, and in places where excavI- tions have be6n made in gravel beds and clay banks there have been several series of striae, indicating the chang ing direction of the flow from time to time, the latter striations not having 0bliterated the eaElieI.-Mining and l Scientific Press t
 There is a difference between a vein and zone. A vein, whether large CT small, has clearly defined limits. whether all the material bstw5en the walls be ore or not. A zone is not nec- 7ssarlly sharply defined by walls, the n neral occurring along a conside-abI longitudinal extent in more or less irregular manner. The masses or of ore may or may not be connected. Either a vein or q zone nay lie hor-zcntaIIy or stand vertical, i 1T at any intermediate angle. A flat : -ein is not necessarily a blanket vein 3y blanket vein is meant a sheet Or leposit of ore in a S d imentary forma- T ion, which is the result of replace nent or impregnation. When one : wall is composed O5 eruptive rock it is aIed contact. This was the org , : 3I moaning of contact vein, but t 1 las since been miscellaneCUsly applied z c veins and deposits occurring between . yaH rocks of unlike character.
