Deposit IT IS OBSERVED THAT WITHIN THE LOWEST PORTION ORE FORMED IN THESE LIMESTONE BEDS, EACH OF WHICH WAS UNDERLAIN BY A SANDY QUARTZITIC MEMBER AND THE MAIN OR HIGHESTONE BEING ALSO OVERLAIN BY QUARTZITE. THE CALCAREOUS MEMBER REPLACED WAS A FINE GRAINED DARK DENSE BED. THE ORE BEDS OR LENSES RANGED 2 TO 40 FT. IN THICKNESS.
