Note

The width of the ore vein which lies within the bedding is shown by the pick and hammer together. Dark shadows in upper left outline the overhanging red shale and show its dip to the left and into the bank. The appearance of the ore and the red shale is not dissimilar even in the field for the red shale is frequently stained with black oxide giving it the appearance of low-grade ore.
