Aston. Farm of Wm. Haniuim, near Village Green, a large 

 deposit of asbestus of good quality is found and is about to be mined. 



On Judge Tyson's farm, near Village Green, acicular tourmaline. 



On Brown's farm, adjoining Judge Tyson's, bronze corundum, 

 corundum passing into margarite, and margarite pseudomorph 

 after corundum. 



An old and prolific deposit of amethyst was on Chester Creek 

 near Button's mill. A vein runs across the road which leads from 

 Judge Tyson's to Button's mill, and large numbers of crystallized 

 amethysts have been dug out for years and probably by deeper 

 digging many more can be secured. This amethyst is of a beautiful 

 purple color. A new road was laid out a few years ago along Chester 

 Creek from Upland to Button's mills on the east side of the creek, and 

 on the jNIcCall farm a pocket of fine amethyst of good color was 

 found. On the farm connected with the Button's mills are boulders 

 of autholite. On farm of Thomas Pancoast, asbestus. 



North of Button's mills some remarkable crystals of muscovite 

 were found. 



At Llewellen, staurolite. 



On John Halberset's farm, enstatite, drusy quartz, hornblende. 

 Near jNIorgan Station, quartz crystals, modified, with implanted 

 minute crystals of ruby colored rutile. 



Bethel Township. On a farm at one time occupied by James 

 Lancaster a large deposit of granular garnet is now largely mined 

 by a company for the manufacture of sand paj^er. It is said to be 

 a very superior article. Some gems have been found here. At 

 Green's Creek above Chelsea, garnets have been washed out of the 

 sand of the creek bed. Some fine gems have been cut from garnets 

 from this locality. 



Concord. About one mile above Chelsea, on the farm of Harry 

 Hannum, a large rock about twenty feet in diameter and about ten 

 feet high rose up solitary on the lot. This rock consisted of antho- 

 lite in radiations from three to four inches in diameter. It presented 

 a peculiar and striking appearance before it was partly blasted 

 away. 



On the Singer farm, antholite and enstatite were abundant, clino- 

 chlore also occurs. 



On Samuel McClellan's farm, asbestus, clinochlore, tourmaline. 



On Mary Palmer's farm, bronzite, diaclasite, a beautiful mineral 

 in yellow fibres one to two inches long. Of this mineral Bana gives
