Calcite veins are the most common type,the calcite being usually associated with more or less quartz, and carrying smaltite and. Fig. 61.—Old timber road, South Lorrain. niccolite occasionally. These latter minerals have been found on a number of claims inwell-defined veins. Aplite dikes which are characteristic of many of the silver showings in the townshipof James and vicinity are of little importance in South Lorrain. 1913 The Outlying Cobalt>Silver Areas 145 TOWNSHIPS OF CASEY AND HARRISBy R. K. Hore On August 14, 1906, with Mr. Gerald Gait. T went west from the Blanche river alongthe Casey-Harris township boundary to lot 5, Casey township. From our camp at thispoint we examined the country for about three miles around.* Casev Cobalt About one hundred yards west of the southeast corner of lot 5, concession 1, Caseytownship, cobalt bloom was discovered by David Bucknell. Mr. Bucknell having seenthe silver veins in conglomerate rock at Cobalt, recalled an outcrop of similar rock on aneighbors farm, returned home, and found a vein the same afternoon. A shaft sunk on the vein disclosed an
