; J' S I The American Geologist. December, 1898 
'I'll esc represent the counties of Bernalolla, Dona Ana, Grant, 
Lincoln. Rio Arriba, San Miguel, Santa Fe. Sierra, Socorro, 
T;ms and Valencia. The copper ores arc from Bernalillo, 
Colfax, Grant, Rio Arriba. San Miguel, Santa Fe, Sierra. 
Soeorro, Taos, and Valencia. 
Besides these ores arc certain bituminous and baked bitu- 
minous coale passing as anthracites, marbles, kaolins and clays, 
gypsum, and sodium carbonates, sulphur, borax, and alum, 
and models of silver-mining companies' properties by Mrs. 
Fllis Clark; a relief model of mines near Las Animas peak, a 
relief model of the Illinois mine, and a very fantastic miner's 
cabin built of ores, with the appropriate burro, and the hunt- 
ing shirt and unkempt beard of the human figure. 
New York. 
There are eleven iron ore exhibits from Ancram, Chateaugay, 
Clinton, Ontario, Port Henry, Spragueville, Tilly Foster, 
Poughkeepsie, etc.. which comprise all that properly comes 
within the limits of this report. They are familiar to all 
geologists and mining engineers and need not be specially de- 
scribed. 
South Carolina. 
The display of South Carolina was exclusively phosphates, 
and many important, if somewhat local, metal industries 
were entirely omitted. 
North Carolina. 
Cases of gold ore, gold nuggets, copper ores, hand speci- 
mens of the rocks and blocks of building stones, with a hand- 
some column of granite from Mt. Airy, constitute the col- 
lection from this state. The official catalogue represents the 
collection as very large and one would suppose it to be com 
plete, including magnetites, titaniferous ores, limonites, py- 
rites, bornite, copper ores and minerals, cassiterite, corundum, 
gems, and various building stones. These may have been " 
I here, but if so were arranged in such a manner that it was 
not easy to find them. 
Taking into consideration the importance and the riches of 
North Carolina it cannot be said that her display was calcu-

portance as one of the most prominent producers in the sis-
