Mineralization Comments

Feb 05, 2017 (A Wilson) - ln this body of nepheline and alkali syenite, corundum, which is so important as a constituent of these rocks in many places elsewhere in the area covered by this report, has nowhere been found as yet in workable amount. Its presence, however, was detected by Dr. Barlow in the albitic phase of the nepheline syenite bordering the granite on the west side of lot 26, concession XII of Monmouth, and by Prof. Miller on lot 15, concession VIII,and lot 28, concession XIII, and also at a point a little west of Hotspur post-office, where the road running to the north leaves the Monck road.
