  The 
  pit 
  is~now 
  .full 
  of 
  water 
  and 
  serves 
  as 
  a 
  dumping 
  ground 
  

   for 
  refuse 
  from 
  the 
  neighborhood. 
  Putnam 
  saw 
  the 
  mine 
  when 
  

   active 
  and 
  states 
  that 
  q 
  feet 
  of 
  pyritous 
  ore 
  was 
  displayed 
  in 
  the 
  

   face. 
  In 
  old 
  pillars 
  a 
  cross-section 
  can 
  still 
  be 
  seen 
  of 
  lean, 
  horn- 
  

   blendic 
  ore. 
  Putnam's 
  analyses 
  of 
  samples 
  from 
  two 
  lots, 
  one 
  of 
  

   2500 
  tons 
  from 
  the 
  north 
  slope, 
  r 
  >and 
  one 
  of 
  1500 
  from 
  the 
  south 
  

   yielded 
  the 
  following. 
  The 
  sulfur, 
  however, 
  was 
  for 
  some 
  reason 
  

   not 
  determined 
  although 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  chief 
  point 
  of 
  importance 
  after 
  

   the 
  iron.

   in 
  the 
  report 
  on 
  the 
  Second 
  District, 
  page

  half 
  a

  Port

  as 
  being 
  the 
  most 
  conveniently 
  located 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  ore 
  

   bodies 
  in 
  the 
  region. 
  It 
  was 
  12 
  feet 
  wide, 
  in 
  hornblende, 
  and 
  

   dipped

  The 
  vein 
  extended 
  half 
  a 
  mile 
  along 
  the 
  lake 
  

   but 
  the 
  ore 
  w 
  T 
  as 
  pyritous, 
  tough 
  and 
  difficult 
  to 
  crush 
  for 
  the 
  forge.

  This 
  old 
  deposit 
  is 
  no 
  longer 
  worked 
  and 
  has 
  almost 
  been 
  for* 
  

   gotten. 
  It 
  occurs 
  where 
  the 
  gabbros 
  are 
  a 
  marked 
  feature 
  in 
  the 
  

   Delaware 
  & 
  Hudson 
  Railroad 
  cuts 
  and 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  titaniferous. 
  

   Since 
  both 
  Dr 
  Beck 
  and 
  Professor 
  Emmons 
  speak 
  of 
  its 
  difficulty 
  

   of 
  treatment 
  the 
  titanium 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  reason. 
  Little 
  was 
  known 
  

   of 
  titanium 
  in 
  their 
  time.

  Cheever 
  mine. 
  This, 
  the 
  oldest 
  opening 
  in 
  the 
  region, 
  

   is 
  situated 
  about 
  2 
  miles 
  or 
  less 
  north 
  of 
  Port 
  Henry, 
  and 
  at 
  its 
  

   eastern 
  edge, 
  outcrops 
  rather 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  quarter 
  of 
  a 
  mile 
  from 
  

   the 
  lake 
  shore 
  and 
  about 
  300 
  feet 
  above 
  it. 
  The 
  chief 
  workings 
  

   are 
  just 
  north 
  of 
  a 
  small 
  east 
  and 
  west 
  depression, 
  through 
  which 
  

   a 
  little 
  brook 
  passes 
  into 
  Lake 
  Champlain, 
  falling 
  over 
  a 
  fine 
  ledge 
  

   of 
  Grenville 
  limestone, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  exposures 
  in 
  the 
  region.
