254 MINERALS FOR THE PARIS EXHIBITION. GILPIN. 



Gold Ores. 



The collection of gold specimens procured for the exhibition 

 although not as rich as could be desired, may be termed repre- 

 sentative of a number of the best known districts. I will refer 

 briefly to the districts represented. The department contributed 

 a set of Montagu specimens, valued at Si, 200.00, at present on 

 exhibition at the Imperial Institute, London, also specimens from 

 Renfrew, Mt. Uniacke, and Waverly. Another handsome set, 

 approaching in value that first named, was secured from Messrs. 

 Jack & Bell. Another sample was from the famous " Plough 

 Lead " at Isaacs Harbor.
