Allan,of Hamilton, Ont. In the bulletin on Graphite, issued by the GeologicalSurvey in 1904, p. 25, the ore on this property is stated to run as high as76 per cent carbon, with an average of 50 per cent, and to be of the amor-phous variety. The latter term probably signifies flake so small as togive the ore a powdery character. About 200 tons of ore were minedfrom a shaft 50 deep feet and shipped in the crude state. No further workhas been performed at this locality. On lot 1, concession VIII, of Ashbytownship, (the adjoining lot to the west) similar ore is stated to occur. 945—4 40. 41 In Annual Report of the Geological Survey, vol. VII. 1894, p. 11R, fine-grained (amorphous) graphite is stated to occur on lot 13, concessionVIII, township of Marmora, in Hastings county. An analysis of a sample,made in the laboratory of the Geological Survey, showed a graphite contentof 72 per cent. On lots 13 and 14, concession IV, township of Blithfield, in Renfrewcounty, a deposit of flake graphite is stated to have been worked to a smallextent previous to 1896. (Bulletin on Graphite, p. 25).
