From the Port Folio.
ON THE EXISTENCE OE
NATIVE ANTIMONY
IN THE UNITED STATES.
If that citizen who makes a grain of wheat
grow on a spot of the surface of the earth where
it never grew before, deserves well of his coun
try, no less entitled to approbation is he, who,
from a pari of the interior of the earth, which
never yielded them before, draws materials of in
dispensible utility for the existence, comfort, &
accommodation of man. The riches of the soil
or surface of our country, are well known, and
well improved ; hut the value of that part of it I
which lies from 20 to 500 feet from the surface,
though doubtless immense, is, generally speak
ing, as little known to its proprietors, as the un
explored caverns in the unfathomable abyss of
the Atlantic , and as seldom thought of.
This neglect is at all times a circumstance of
regret to the real patriot; but more particularly
at the present extraordinary period, in which we
live i when the devastation committed on our fo
reign commerce, by the two gigantic powers,
who have convulsed all Europe, in their struggles
for supremacy, threaten its total extermination,
and force us to the alternative of curtuiiing our
expenditures for foreign commodities, or of seek
ing within our own territories tho„e articles of
necessity, which hitharto we have been accus
tomed to bring from remote quarters of the
globe.
I am led to those observations by reflecting
on a fact, lately communicated to me by a friend,
viz. that ho great is the scarcity in this country
at present, ot the niinrrul called antimony, so in
dispensibly necessary in the manufacture of prin
ting types, that unless a supply can be speedily
proem ed from Europe, the proprietors of the
type founderv in this city, the largest and most
extensive in the United States, will be obliged
to discharge one. half, or perhaps two thirds of all
their hands ; and thus will a severe check be giv
en to the present unexampled progress of arts
and:literature in this flourishing, peaceful and
happy country, for want of a single article, which
perhaps lies at no great distance, in inexhaustible
quantities, under our very feet.
I confess less mortified to bear that the expor
tation of this article lias been prohibited by the
respective governments of France and Great
Britain, than to be told that antimony is no where
found native within the territory of the United
States, and that to procure it, we must submit
to the most humiliating impositions. If the firs*
of tiles:, assertions were absolutely true, that in
an extent of two thousand inil*s by one thousand
of plains, valliss, mountains and precipices, a
v.ngle mineral, so common in other parts of the
earth, should be entirely wanting in this, it would
be a kind of miracle in the Mineralogy of our
country without a parallel in any other part of the
globe.
liut this is Irighly improbable ; nay, I have no
hecitation in asserting it us my opiuion, that na
tive antimony does actually exist in tins country,
in as great quantities, and perhaps as lauch puri
ty as many other ceuntry whatever j and, that
if proper •vetch was rmdc, it would most certain
ly be found. The 1.' s and circumstances on
which this opinion is founded, I shall, for Uie in
formation of mediately concerned, and .
for the encou of other*, briefly detail
In the winter of 1803, being in Portsmouth, N
H. 1 was shewn a mineral substance, evidently
sulphurated antimony, which was said to be found
in the bed of Saco river, about twenty miles above
the town of that name, in the District of Maine.
A celebrated mineralogist now or lately in this
city, had been presented with s|>ecinieiis of the
same, and directed to that part of the river where
it was found ; but mistaking the place for the
bank* instead of the bed of the river, the waters
of which were at that time high s ho wandered
about for a whole day in the rain it) search of the
spot, but without success.
As the river durng my visit was m the same
state, I had no better op(>or:unity of examining
than my predecessor—and this place remains still
unexplored. The laud adjoining is the property
of a Mr. Nathaniel Parsons, lives about two miles
northwest from York, courthouse, in the same
District,of Maine. At the same time and place
I was shewn a piece of antimoniat ore, said to
have been found in the state of Vermont by a
miner of the name of Pitcher. In my way to that
state I stopped at Dartmouth college, and in a
conversation with Dr. Smith, professor of mate
ria medica there, 1 was informed that specimens
ot antimony were deposited in the. museum of
the college, which had been found hy some labor
ers, a few days before, in digging the canal at
Hadley ; but learned to my astonishment, that no
enquiry had been made by tile professor or anv
other person at the time, as to the precise spot
whence this substance was tah.au ; nor on my ar
rival there, could 1 find any person who could
throw any further light on the matter, than that
it was said, that antimony had been dug up some
where thereabout j a id this discovery is also,
like the former, still wrapt up in obscurity.
Having been credibly informed, that some
years ago, an apothecary of this,city (Philadel
phia) had purchased a quantity o| what was at that
time considered tuba black lead, but which on ex
amination afterwards was found to be antimony,
from a person who said lie brought it from N. c". ;
1 was anxious, on approaching that state, to make
some further enquiries relative to'lhn mineral. 1
took shelter from a violent snow storm in the
house of a colonel Burwell Mooring, who lives
near the Roanoke, about twenty miles below’ Hal
ifax. From this gentleman 1 received the follow
ing information.
i nat about nine years ago, ne uvea in Wayne
county, (N. C.) and had on his place a mill now
called Thompson’s mill, on Nohunta crock,
which falls into Contents creek and the last into
the river Neuse. That the rapidity of the water,
after passing through the mill, tore a deep run
in the bank : and boys while amtuing themselves
by swimming there, were in the practice of bring
ing up, from the depth of ten or twelve feet,
large pieces of a heavy black glittering mineral so
like antimony, that on comparing the substance
so found with some antimony, they hud in the
bouse, and which the lady herself then handed
to me, they could perceive no difference in their
appearance. Unacquainted with the value of this
discovery no farther attention v. .is paid to it; and l
to my great regret not a remnant of it had been I
preserved. The spot, be says is not more than {
thirty feet below the mill, on the right hand !
going down. The present proprietor is h Mr.!
Zaddoch Thompson, who lives on the premises.]
Col. Mooring added, that in Iviobunta run, a-I
bout a mile below the mill, great abundance of
the same substance may easily be found.—Such
was the information 1 received from this respec
table family. Urgent business prevented me
from repairing immediately to the spot though at
a distance of forty miles but in reply to the let
ter which 1 at that time wrote him, Mr. Thomp
son says, that the substance mentioned was gen
erally supposed to be antimony ; and that in an
attempt to melt it, it flew off in smoke, or evapo
rated !
After such highly encouraging proofs, let us
bear no more whining, that this valuable mineral
no where exists within the territory of the U.
Stales but let those who have skill and opportu
nities of making excursions, be on the alert, and
leave no stone unturned in the pursuit ; for, with
prophetic certainty, 1 could almost venture to
pronounce in this, as in a much more solemn
and important affair, seek tlihg.nily and ye shall
find.

Philadelphia, Jan 30.
It is -with great sympathy that we relate a
dieuillul catastrophe thut happened at the Pow
der Mills of Messrs. Schott and Mandeville, near
Franbford, outlie lltb inst. Mr. Mandeville and
the brother to bis partner, Mr. Charles Sclioit,
rode out to the Mill in ilie afternoon and entered
the room where the Foreman 8t a laborer were bu
sily employed preparing salt petre .• a short time
after their arrival, a boy entered the apartment k
shut the door hastily, which, together with aile
fect in the boiler, caused the Salt Petre to take
fire, and the room was instantaneously envelop
ed in flames ; Mr. Mandeville during the con
flagration made a grasp for the door, and ac
cidentally bit the latch : and opened the door,
which was the means of saving himself and four
others from instant death ; but, alas ! only to
give diem time to prepare for another world
The boy died twelve hours after, the Foreman
lingered a few days, the laborer about a fortnight
and Mr. Charles Schott died on the evening oft lie
26th inst. Mr. Mandeville now lays very ill, but
grt at hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Mr. Chat lee Schott was in Lite bloom of life,
loved and esteemed by all who knew him. His
memory and good quailitics will never be forgot
ten by those who were intimately acquainted with
him.
