  The 
  presence 
  of 
  carbon 
  is 
  an 
  interesting 
  feature 
  of 
  the 
  analysis 
  

   and 
  is 
  probably 
  due, 
  according 
  to 
  Hillebrand, 
  to 
  the 
  inclusion 
  of 
  

   graphite. 
  Professor 
  Kemp 
  was 
  unable 
  to 
  identify 
  that 
  mineral 
  

   under 
  the 
  microscope 
  beyond 
  doubt, 
  though 
  a 
  few 
  black 
  particles 
  

   were 
  observed 
  in 
  the 
  chemical 
  residues 
  which 
  might 
  well 
  have 
  

   been 
  of 
  graphitic 
  nature. 
  

  

  LITTLE 
  POND 
  MINES 
  

   A 
  short 
  distance 
  north 
  of 
  Little 
  pond, 
  2 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  Elizabeth- 
  

   town, 
  two 
  openings 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  in 
  titaniferous 
  bodies 
  which 
  

   appear 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  considerable 
  size. 
  The 
  northern 
  opening 
  is 
  about 
  

   20 
  feet 
  across 
  at 
  the 
  surface 
  and 
  15 
  feet 
  deep, 
  while 
  the 
  other 
  to 
  

   the 
  south 
  has 
  been 
  excavated 
  in 
  the 
  hillside 
  and 
  is 
  about 
  30 
  feet 
  

   long 
  and 
  25 
  feet 
  high 
  at 
  the 
  working 
  face. 
  The 
  walls 
  consist 
  of 
  

   dark 
  green 
  gabbro. 
  The 
  ore 
  is 
  lean, 
  as 
  it 
  carries 
  a 
  good 
  deal 
  of
