Sep 11, 2015 (A Wilson) - A sizeable quantity of small-sized books of silver amber mica was produced. Mica occurs on the contact of a narrow dyke of dark-green pyroxenite having a strike of N35E with a red granite-gneiss. The dyke has a width of 4 feet at the west end and a width of only a few inches at ehe east end. These lots were worked in 1871 by Mr. G. Clark, of Sherbrooke, who took out a quantity of phosphate, chiefly of a red colour and often mixed with hematite. Lot 10 is now known as the Old Anthony mine, and has been worked. within more recent years for mica. The workings on this property extend to a depth of over 125 feet, and the main pit has been opened on a 4-foot vein, having a direction of N. 35° E., and occurring on the contact of dark green pyroxenite with red granite-gneiss., Mining was continued here for several years, operations being conducted by Floerstein and Company, during 1873 and 1874, this Company acquiring the mine from Mr. Clark.
