PLATE 7.

Plan and Sections of the mine of Huel Peever, shewing the interruptions that have occurred to the veins in that mine The ground plan, Fig. 1. represents the effects produced by the cross courses intersecting the veins that run in the direction of east and west. The transverse section, Fig. 2. shows the interruptions among themselves of the veins that run in an east and west direction, occasioned by the various degrees of inclination of their underlie. The tin vein is intersected by the copper vein, and they are both again affected in a similar manner by the two slides.
