There is a seam of mica schist outcropping on Bear Hill with the garnets set so thickly in it, that in parts they compose 85% of the whole by weight, and the seam is expected to average 60%. Mr. Ford's engineers are still exploring the deposit, drilling holes into the hard garnets which blunt the steel drills used, with astonishing rapidity.
