fragment of granite imbedded. Fig. 5. A farmer of the vicinity 
stated, that there are several other dikes cutting the hill in simi- 
lar directions, and this statement derives confirmation from the 
numerous boulders, or fragments of trap, scattered over the fields 
and laid up in the farm w 
Blende and Galena. 
Three miles south of Eaton is a mine wrought for lead. The 
ore is a mixture of yellowish brown blende and galena, which 
is abundant, and was formerly worked in a shaft fifty feet deep, 
with a SESS, drift, and as I understand with profit. Opera- 
tions are suspended at present by some legal impediment, and not 
through a deficiency of the ore. The specimens, with the two 
sulphurets intermingled, are beautifw, and will reward the min- 
eralogist for his labor in procuring them. 
Crystallized Smoky Quartz, 
is found near Pendexter’s in Bartlett, oecupying large geodes in 
masses of decomposing granite on the flanks of Kearsage moun- 
tain. The crystals are very clear and beautiful, from one to four 
inches long, and even one and a half to two inches in diameter. 
rsenical pyrites, crystallized and massive, occurs in a large 
vein, im a mountainous tract, four miles north of Bartlett, belong- 
ing to Mr. Eastman.
