ARSENICAL ORE 



Several hundred tons of arsenical ore were mined in New York 

 State last year. A part of the output was sold to reduction works 

 for manufacture into arsenical compounds. Though deposits of this 

 ore have been Avorked previously in the State, it is probably the first 

 time that they have suppHed any commercial product. 



The ores known to occur in New York include arsenopyrite, leu- 

 copyrite and scorodite. The first named, a sulfarsenid of iron with 

 46^ arsenic, is the most abundant. It is also the principal variety 

 employed in the trade. It occurs in Orange, Putnam and Essex 

 counties, in veins which intersect the older crystalline rocks.
