  Minerals 
  Not 
  Commercially 
  Important 
  

  

  In 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  minerals 
  which 
  have 
  already 
  been 
  mentioned 
  

   there 
  are 
  many 
  deposits 
  in 
  New 
  York 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  at 
  present 
  

   of 
  commercial 
  importance. 
  These 
  may 
  be 
  roughly 
  classified 
  as 
  

   metallic 
  minerals 
  and 
  non-metallic 
  minerals. 
  

  

  METALLIC 
  MINERALS 
  

  

  In 
  this 
  class 
  are 
  iron 
  pyrites, 
  arsenopyrite, 
  chromite, 
  chal 
  copy- 
  

   rite, 
  cuprite, 
  galenite, 
  cerusite, 
  sphalerite, 
  wad 
  or 
  bog 
  manganese, 
  

   millerite 
  and 
  molybdenite. 
  The 
  galenite 
  and 
  pyrites 
  have 
  re- 
  

   spectively 
  yielded 
  small 
  quantities 
  of 
  silver 
  and 
  gold 
  at 
  certain 
  

   places, 
  but 
  at 
  no 
  locality 
  in 
  New 
  York 
  have 
  enough 
  of 
  the 
  precious 
  

   metals 
  heen 
  found 
  at 
  any 
  time 
  to 
  pay 
  for 
  the 
  expense 
  of 
  extracting 
  

   them. 
  From 
  time 
  to 
  time 
  capital 
  is 
  invested 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  of 
  

   gold 
  or 
  silver 
  mining 
  in 
  New 
  York, 
  but 
  always 
  without 
  practical 
  

   results. 
  The 
  experience 
  of 
  50 
  years 
  has 
  shown 
  that 
  neither 
  in 
  

   New 
  York 
  nor 
  in 
  New 
  England 
  have 
  either 
  of 
  the 
  metals 
  been 
  

   found 
  in 
  paying 
  quantities. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  is 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  principal 
  localities 
  at 
  which 
  the 
  

   various 
  metallic 
  minerals 
  are 
  found:
