Lead Ore. 



The blue limestone(e) of Canaan passes at some consid- 

 erable depth into a lighter colored stone, approaching the 

 white granular limestone of Stockbridge.(y) In the south- 

 ern part of the township of Canaan, this limestone(t) is the 

 gangue of a fine steel-grained lead ore(u). It was formerly- 

 wrought, but the expense proved too great to justify its con- 

 tinuance, and it is now abandoned, and the mine filled with wa~ 

 ter. Galena, mixed with pyrites, is found in abundance, in 

 the southern part of the county of Columbia, not far from 

 Ancram iron works. It is on the borders of the transition, 

 directly south of that mentioned above. It is a very rich 

 ore, but has not been wrought to any great extent.
