Sep 19, 2015 (A Wilson) - The magnetite occurs, sometimes massive with a vitreous fracture, sometimes with a loose pebbly structure like an interferent aggregate of crystals, the pins being at times roughly octahedral in form, and again as a mass of magnetite and quartz. A little admixture of micas shows in the ore pile and apatite is to be recognized nor infrequently. A good deal of rust is present from the decomposition of the pyrite, which judging from the waste dump appears to have occurred plentifully and in large pieces in the deposit, which was evidently characterised by the presence of vugs and cavities lined with quartz and crystals of black hornblende. A picked sample from the property assayed 68.43% Fe and 0.06% S.
