Another interesting exhibit is that of the Mineral Products 
Company, of Bridgeville, Pictou County. These people leased 
the Charcoal furnace at that place for the manufacture of ferro- 
manganese. The mangauese was obtained from a deposit in 
New Brunswick. This deposit consisted of bog ore, which was 
dried and made into briquettes. It was smelted with the 
limonite ore of the East River, and made a product of good 
marketable value. The expense iacurred in handling the man- 
ganese ore and its freight has been assigned as the cause of the 
abandonment of the enterprise. I regret to say that, owing to 
the absence of the manager from the) Province, I am unable to 
give analyses of the raw materials and of the product. 
In this district, in addition to the limonite ores, there are 
large deposits of specular, red hematite, spaltic and clay ironstone 
ores, which will no doubt before long be mined for the smelter.
