On the Franklin or Warwick mountain, about four miles east 

 of the furnace, are numerous beds of iron ore, from which many 

 thousand tons have been taken ; and which still contain a large 

 quantity of the best quality of ore, either for a blooming forge or 

 blast furnace. Iron pyrites occurs here, both in the valley and on 

 the mountain, of a proper quality to manufacture sulphate of iron 

 (copperas). It also occurs crystallized, in cubes, in octahedrons, 

 and dodecahedrons, frequently perfect and highly splendid.
