 lusite, found at Shepody and Quaco. 



Lead. — Galena, found at Campo Bello, Norton King3, Tobique, Res- 

 tigouche, McLeod's, Macadavic ; Long Island, Digdeguash ; Emerson's

Molybdenum. — Molybdenum, found at Nepisquit. 



These are by no means all the localities in which the above-named 

 metals occur, especially as regards the sulphurets of iron and copper. 

 These are very generally diffused ores, and occur in almost all parts of 

 the Province. Only the purer and more extensive deposits are above 

 given. It is impossible however, from small cabinet specimens to judge 

 accurately in regard to the quantity or quality of an ore, average 

 specimens being necessary to decide this point. The above list may 

 therefore contain many which from their peculiar position or other 

 causes may be in reality worthless, while some really valuable ores may 

 be omitted. — This source of error it was impossible to avoid. 



It will be seen, from an inspection of the list, that some two or three 

 localities contain good ores of several of the metals. Among these 

 Woodstock, Campo Bello Island and the vicinity of Bathurst on the 

 Tattagouche River are the most prominent. Campo Bello Island, especi- 

 ally, is rich in iron, lead and copper, while Native (i. e., pure) copper 

 occurs at St. David's Charlotte, and zinc blende at Lubec, Mame. — Gold 

 having also been discovered near Calais, by Mr. Goodale, this section of 

 the Province may be regarded as one of the most promising for future 

 exploration. Moreover no position could be more advantageous for 

 transportation than these southern Shores and Islands of the Bay of 

 Fundy. It is to be hoped that the immense resources here stored away 

 for use may soon be made a source of revenue and profit. 



In regard to the ores of iron, I may say, generally, that the best ores 

 for the purposes of smelting are the Specular Ores and Red Haematite
