Three miles north OF the Solenbert

the terminus OF the Virginia I

in mining operations are transporte

easy grade. The railroad compan.

FORMATION
The general formation is porplnyry
etic, granite, cyanite and sand-carbon
The property owned by the Pine Nh

evidence of a large body OF ore no
only on the surface, but at greater
depth, as the veins making the raise

at least 800 feet in heighth and dip to
the southeast As degrees under noun
tains OF much higher elevation
The porphyry dyke carrying tn,
quartz veins seems to be OF grea
width on the surface and in place,
shows a width Of 1000 feet between
walls. The hanging wall to the por
phyry dyke is a conglomerated brac.
cias, which is composed of a single
type Of rock and generally called by
its name. and we thus have quartz
lite eonglomerates and baccias. Vol
