Respecting minerals and fossils, we are 
informed that little can be expected im so 
new a country, yet that iron ore exists 
in many plaees, and that one mine is 
worked to advantage in Poland, the ore 
is rich, and the “castings exceedingly 
tough svods, which sell at six cents. per 
pound. -Virgin copper abounds en Lake 
Superior, from whence it may ve brought 
to the south shore of Lake Erie by wa- 
ter, and therefore will never be expen- 
sive. Precious stones are not found, 
but at Jefferson there are large stones of 
a regular form, which are eee et 
hard, and capable of a very fine polish. 
In beauty they excel the Derbyshire spar, 
and make a handsomer ornament, Pit- 
coal of the same quality with that at 
Pittsburgh is extremely plentiful, and will 
pena never command much more 
than the digging price. ‘There are also 
coals, which are uncommonly im preg- 
nated with sulphur, Excellent free-stone 
is found in many places. The quarry at 
Euclid furnishes the best grind-stones, and 
supplies the western parts of New York, 
Pennsylvania, Upper and Lower Canada, 
as well as the country itself, and the ter- 
ritory of Michigan ; the demand is dail 
increasing, but “the extent of the quarry 
seems to bid defiance to consumption. 
There are also various stones fit for the 
chissel, and also of such as will bear fire; 
many lime-stove quarries exist, and frag- 
ments of lime are seen all along the lake 
shore. Plaister of Paris exists in abun- 
cance; and Mr, Caldwell, of Washing- 
ton city, who has worked largely i in that 
article, informed our author that the spe- 
cimens he had received from the Reserve 
were equal to any he eversaw. ‘The dif- 
ferent ochres have been found in many 
places, as well as salt licks: one attempt ° 
has been made to chrystallize salt, which 
succeeded. Marl is found on the banks 
of Grand River, and copperas and alum 
in many places. Ciay of great purity 
and toughness exists, says our author, 
‘‘on the lake shore, and elsewhere, in 
immense quantities, which is of a texture 
as fine as flour, and susceptible of a fine 
polish. Itis of a bright red colour, and 
used as a paint or wash on walls, instead ~
