Near the falls of the river, a .short distance northward of the junction just noticed, tho slates give place to gray quartzite, which, with some beds of olivo slate, occupies the river-section to, and for some distance beyond, the iron vein. Tho vein is well seen in the bed of tho stream, and also in exca- vations in the western bank, which rises abruptly to the height of 327 feet above tlie river-bed. In the bottom of the stream it presents the appearance of a complicated netwt)rk of fissures, penetrating tho quartzite and slate, and filled with a crystalline compound of the car- bonates of lime, iron, and magnesia, which, from its composition and external characters, I refer to the .species Ankcrite, With this mineral thei'c is a snniUer quantity of red ochrey iron ore, and of micaceous specular iron ore. In ascending tho western bank of the stream, the vein appears to increase in width and in tho quantity of the ores of iron. In one place, where a trench was cut across it, its breadth was 120 feet.
