As the result of special observations on the strike of the slate beds in which the gold veins occurred injected between the plies of sedimentary rocks, the facts ob served were found between Rockville and Brook ville, in Maryland, where the bear ing ia N. 30 E, on the borders of Spot sylvania aud Orange counties in Virginia, N. 29 to 32 E. in Montgomery Co. North Carolina, at ihe Rutsel Mine, N.32 E. snd in , Mecklenburg Co. at the Smart Mine, 20 miles South est wsrd lo Char lotte, the stroke of the beds being there N. 32 12. 1 liese are a few of die point no ticed, and the results are obtained from numerous observations taken at each point. The system of metaphoric rocks in whii-h the gold bearing veins occur, up pears to have undergone different degrees of. change in the different parts of the tract. While in some pans ihe original slaty structure is preserved, in others the lamination haa been partly oblitera ted, and the texture changed by the evi-. dent efft ct of heal. In some point to which observation has extended, there is evidently an intermingling of rocks of the Gueissoid character with such a. still re tain die slaty structure. In certain parts of the Nonh Csrolina gold regias, Ihe granitic rocks prevail, and there the auri ferous veins have various directions,' ap parently wholly irrespective of the gener al trend of the gold formation. , Thus be tween the town of Chailotte and the Catawba River, and within s circuit about three or four miles in daineter, aie found veins which hare been more or less exten sively worked, with directions running lo the N. 64 E ; N. 47 E.; N. 81 W.; N. 361 E.; and N. 34 W. so thai if these directions were prolonged, they wouW in some cases be found intersecting each oth er at right angles. In regard to the ma terials or veinstone in which the auriferous particle are found, they differ very wide ly; in some cases the material is an ar gillature slate, of a silky luster, much in terspersed Willi minute cubes of pyrites of iron or of copper, or ol both, aa at ihe Russel mine on the Newbeiry, in Mont gomery Co. in North Carolina; ia other cages it ia partly in quartz and partly in the slaty walkof die reins; and in others still it is wholly in the quartz, being scarce ly at all impregnated with the precious metal. : ... . ; vr -i, ,- - The materials which exist in the veins are either such as have been acted on by meteoric influences and partly decompos ed, or lying beyond the reach of such in fluences hate escaped decomposition, and may be regarded as the true exponents of the deeper veinstone.
