W. Bailey, A. M., Pro- fessor of Chemistry, iic. T^niversity of New Brunswick.] ^■ In addition to the Mincniln now enumerated, there are a uunil)er of others of less importance, which do not require individual notice. They are, how- ever, of interest scientifically, and many of thorn may receive a limited and local useful application. As it is designed to make the present Report one of reference for all subjects connected witli the distribution of Ores and Minerals in New Brunswick, I have determined to present, in a tabular form a list of all the spocio- kuown to exist in the diiferent localities of the Pro- vince. " 1 accomplish this object, 1 have been obliged to rely, for the most part, on the labours of those who have devoted a longer period to the study than myself, and whose special object has been the exploration of our mineral wealth. Tha accompanying List of Mineral Localities was originally drawn up by Mr. G. F. Matthew, of St. John, (himself one of the most earnest and suc- cessful laborers in this field of study,) from the writings of Dr. Gesner, Dr. Hobb, and from his own observations. The original list has already been published in the St. John papers, and by Mr. 0. C. Marsh in the March {18()3) Number of Siiliman's Journal. My own labors, however, durino^ the past summer, having allowed me to add so nu j.y new localities, and to dl'fine with more i)recision the position of so many deposits, before only imperfectly known, I need scarcely otter an apology for presenting tho list anew It is moreover, ve \V„oJ»lock. hacuatile •.

Having now given the resultfl of my perHoiial observations, iluring the past summer, and nd.lod tl.creto, in tal ular form, all that h at present known about lie diHtributiofi of our mineral wealth, it only remainf^ to be seen, what -c oral and useful deductions ean be drawn from the material.* thus accumulated. Ut^T/iC Gcohgiml PosWon of the 3rc(ew Brunswick. % relerence to the -eolo^noal map of" Dr. Uobb, (nub- lishcd with .1 .hnson-. i^eport.) it will be scon that the Provii.ee is essentially divided into uvo portions, by a wide belt of iixneoua rocks. ]>aH8in- across trom the State of Maine, in the vicinity of the C'heputneciicook Lake";, in the 1 abuieau K't Is on the Nepisiquit River. This ridge forms a !a,-e antidiual axis and, including its development in Maine, has, aceordim- to the -eolo-rj^tH ot that State, a lenoth of nenHy two hundred ui.d ninetv miles. Its width as hud down in the geological map, is a mere matter of guesswork, this portion "t the I rovince being almost unknown and inaccessible. To the south of tliis great granitic chain is another, entering the Province near Calais, and passing, with a single interruption, to the St. .John liiver Against the llauks of these granitic ranges, on both sides, rest the lowest aqueous rocks, termed Cambriav. The precise age of these latter which consist lor the most part of raetamorphic slates, is a matter of some dispute but the question is one which does not need discussion here. Whatever their name and age, they form two parallel bands of considerable width stretching along the slopes of the central granitic raiiire. The upper extrnds from the shore of the Uay Chaleur to the Maine bonndarv, and probablv crosses the head-waters of the Serpentine and Miramichi liivei-s. The lower 13 parallel to this, but does not reach Bathurst, while towards ♦he west it bends around the coal measures, occupies the greater part of Charlotte and thence extends in two parallel \kuu\h to the eastward, one of these teriu'ir.-it- ing at Bull Moose Hill, the other at Shepodv Mountain. In the trian-ular space thus left, is included the great .\cw Brunswick coal iield, .separated trom the metamorphic belts by a thin band of red sandstones and con-lome- rates, which attain their greatest development at the two eastern extremities These sardstones probably underlie tl-e coal measures, and are in turn resting upon the Cambrian slates. To the north of the upper metamorphic belt, arc beds of Silurian strata of vast extent, Avhose limits arc at j.rescnt but little known. M v own observa- tions at the head-waters of the Tobique and Nepisi.tuit, havJ convinced me that essential alterations must be made in the coloring of this portion of our geological maps. AVith this portion, however, we have little at present to do It, by means of the list which has already been giv.n, we trace out upon thJ geological map the ])reci«e localities of the various metallic ores, we shall lind them almost without exception, to be situated in the -reat metamorphic I3elts ot slate and schist, which liave been tOTiued t he ('amhiian roeks — side u iiring the t proHent lins to be nmterialii ^tnntl this ucturo of !)b, (puh- ■'soiitially 1^ aorosfl cp. to the iiiticlinal eoloiristH widtli, an s portion Province m liiver.

The Direction of MdaUie I«o<^'5. —ThU is a point of somo interest to de- tormioo. It requires, howovor, lor Huro resiilt**, a considcrablo number of observations. So tar as my own cxpeiieuce bus sbown, tboso lodes, cHpeciaily 9» rcf^anJs lead and copper, pursue a course not varying far from oaat or west, and luive as a rule a dip to tbe nortbward. Tbia will be more readily seen by tbe following Table: — Strike. N.P:. & 8.W. 7° N. of E. (( t( E. N. E. about E. & W. 10°N.ofE. Dip. to tbe North, a little W.ofN. unknown. Antimony Mines at Prince William, Key'a Mine, (Charlotte,) Champion lode, " 5 subordinate lodes, L'Etantr Lead Mine, principal lode, Ilatt's Lode, (Charlotte,) Crory's Lode, Campo Bello Lead Vein, not well determined, but tending to E.

" St. John & Albert Mines," (Nfartin's Head) a little E. of N. to the West. If the above rule is fouiwl to be a univer.-jal one, it may serve to distinguish tbe subordinate from the cliampion lodes, tbe diftercnce being a very mate- rial point to aseertai'i. It will be noticed that tbe above prevailing line of strike coincides nearly with that of the coast line of the Bay of Eundy, and also with that of the central granitic braid. P .om what has now been said, I think I am warranted in drawing the following general conclusionH : — lat.— The principal mctaUitbrons deposits of New BrnnHwid' (excepting sedime-itary bods^), arc confined to Tnetamorpbic slates ainl mica schists, of Lower Silurian or Cambrian ago. 2nd. — That in theHC metamoridiic belts, the best raining diotricts, so far know^n, are near where the slates and 8chi:;ts liavc liocii injected by deposits of igneous rocks, trap, syenite, &c'. 3rd. — That copper, manganese, and antimony, arc
