GEOLOGICAL REPORT. 57 



the Company. I am indebted to Mr. William Skewes for the 

 following statement of lead made at this furnace : 



1850, 5,000 pigs, average weight of each, 61 Ibs, 300,000 



1851, 5,000 " " " " " ....300,000 



1852, 6,000 " " " " " ...-360,000 



1853, 9,463 " " " " " ...-567,780 



1854, to Oct., 7,000 " " " " " ...-420,000 



"Mr. Skewes believes that the amount that will be made this 

 year will fully equal that of 1853. 



" Statement of the total amount of lead made at the 1 furnaces 

 in Franklin county, from commencement of 1850 to October, 

 1854: 



1850. 1851. 1852. 1853. 1854. 



Gallaher's Furnace, 50,400 36,000 



Inge's Furnace, 196,744 80,606 18,630 39,989 5,557 



Valle and Skewes' Furnace, 300,000 300,000 360,000 567,780 420,000 



496,744 380.606 378,630 658,169 461,557" 



There are many other localities too numerous to be described 

 even in the brief manner thus far pursued. The accompany- 

 ing table of mines and localities will give some idea of the nu- 

 merous localities of lead already known in this district of coun- 

 try ; and it is safe to conclude that a small part only of what 

 really exists, has as yet been discovered.
