GENERAL GEOGRAPHY. 
The zine mines at Ogdensburgh and Franklin Furnace, N. J., 
are in the northwestern part of the State, in the valley of the 
Walkill River, a small stream. They are about forty miles in a 
direct line from New York City, but are sixty miles by rail, and 
on a latitude some twenty-five miles north. The New York 
State line is twelve or fifteen miles north of them. Three rail- 
ways pass through Franklin—the New York, Susquehanna and 
Western; the Sussex Railway, a branch of the Delaware, Lacka- 
wanna and Western; and the Lehigh and Hudson. Ogdens- 
burgh is two miles south 20° west from Franklin. The mines 
at Ogdensburgh are on the eastern slope of a hill, known as 
Stirling Hill, while those at Franklin are on the western and 
northwestern crest of another which is called Mine Hill. These 
names are often used by writers instead of the names of the 
towns. Stirling. Hill is a portion of the ridge called the Pimple 
Hills. The valley of the Walkill is spoken of by the older 
writers as the valley of Sparta.
