These mines are peculiar in so far that theyare at a considerable aistance from all other workable depositsand also from any known eruptives. The outcrop is prominent,but only for a relativeh short distance (about 1900 feet), andfollows prett) closely a belt of serpentine (see Fig. 40), cuttingthrough the irregularly metamorphosed rocks of the CoastRange, probably of Neocomian age. The strike is very nearheast and westâin the Great Eastern, N. 75° \V.; in the MountJackson, N. 63° W. The croppings stand almost vertical nearthe surface, but in depth dip northeasterly.
