Excerpt from The Geology of the Susquehanna River Region: In the Six Counties of Wyoming, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Columbia Montour, and Northumberland It would certainly be very interesting to learn how far' Mr. Rogers' calculations in 1843 have been verified by the practical mining operations pursued so many years at the points mentioned by Mr. White. But the figures could only be obtained by a most laborious examination of all; the private account books of the furnaces on the river for forty years. And the results of such an examination, even if possible, would be unsatisfactory because of the always increasing use of ores obtained from other regions. No actual examination of the workings would yield the requi site data, for many of the mines are abandoned and the ore' varies greatly, although within small limits, in gangways which are still worked. Nothing new in the way of the discovery of other ore beds in the Clinton series of this belt is to be expected, andviii G7 report OF progress. I. 0. White.
