deeper gallery ran in sandstone, until it reached chap. 
the argi/iaceotis rocks. The veins and fissures ■ 
consist ot the sulphurets of zinc (blende) and 
lead (galena), containing both gold and silver. 
Some specimens exhibit the native gold, adher- 
ing, at the same time, to the zinc and to the lead. 
A hundred weight of the ore of Boiiza, after 
stamping, yields eight pounds of metallic pow- 
der, containing from two to six German ounces 
of silver ; and, as all the silver of Transylvania 
and Hungary contains gold, that of Boitza 
averages two ounces of gold to every pound 
weight of silver. A list of all the auriferous 
minerals, exhibited for sale at Boitza, is sub- 
joined in a note^ 
After leaving Boitza, the country again be- 
came open ; and we descended from the moun- 
tains into the fertile territories of Transylvania.
