At Counters Cornersthis vein is from one (3 m.) to four feet(1 -2 m.) wide. It dips vertically, and strikesnorthwest, and can be picked up at intervalsas far as Varty lake, a distance of 14miles (22-4 km.). The limestone is denseand hard, with shaly partings, and its con-tact with the barite is very sharply defined,so that there is no transition from the oneinto the other. Moreover, along the con-tact is a coating of anthraxolite, and somefiuorite, indicating that the vein had notfilled from the surrounding country rocks,but owes its origin to a deep-seated 100 tons have been mined 4 A Geo/oc.
