Lenticular masses of graphite in crystalline limestone,as well as small veins of plumbago, occur on this lot (St. Mary mine) aswell as on the adjoining lot 20. On lot 24 in the same range (St. Louismine), a band of graphite in limestone was worked by the above, severalpits being sunk and about 50 tons of ore secured. 51 si n> - ?I8.«i 18 1 v <u « • » •8 a, ^ ^ S i § ?$ sp gH«s*a X <a ^ 5 nN- <a x** J*5 Xj^„ 1* «. o o 4 O 0o ° ° °o 3 G?S OSbfl 15 ue/ucfu/eQ - 0*4/. ^9V **•£ 1* 52 Vennor reports the above properties as long since abandoned whenvisited by him in 1876, and no further work upon them has been :— Geol.

This minewas opened in 1910 by the Dominion Graphite Company, of Toronto, whoerected a large mill on lot 21 in 1912 and conducted mining and millingoperations for about six months, when the Company went into 1916 and 1917 mine and mill were operated under option by PlumbagoSyndicate, 1104 Excelsior Life Building, Toronto. The mill was closeddown during the greater part of 1918, pending the installation of an experi-mental, Callow oil flotation unit, but before the process had been properlytried out, the mill was destroyed by fire. This property was one of the best equipped mines in the district, but itwould appear that the plant erected was out of all proportion to the amounto
