As some interest appears TO DO felt con-
eernlng the depos,tes OF this Mineral 10 the
~,ciniiy OF Raleigh, We have though, proper
to make such statements relating 10 II as
have come 10 oUr knouledge. Our ininr
na,,on is chiefly derived from the Report
mlde BY Professor Oimstead 10 ls2i, on
the Geology Of North Carolina. From th!s
Report, as well as from other sources, Il Is
ascerialned that the Ore Is 10 be found ~
great perfection and ,nexhaustlble quaint
ties, a little West Of Raleigh. A large
quantity OF the land on which il Is TO be
lnuud, rs owned by residents Of this place.
Its nearest approach 10 our Cry is about
q mites. Al; GaiAvie's Nine, about -
miles " TEST Of Rsleigh, the principal exca.
ya,lons have been made; N yet, however.
very little, comparatively, has been obtain.
ed for use, Oh account Of the constant sup
plies which have been furnished bs the
Mines ~ other places. The largest bed Is
estimated az 20 feet in width and these
beds may be iound proiusely scattered over
n space 1T AZ least ten miles. The depos
ties ct the Oeu consist Of parallel beds, VA
ry,ng from each Other IN depth, ard pro.
fusely scattered over the country. These
statements show that she quantity Of the
Ore - Sufficient TO supply the creates, de-
niand; and lis quality IS said to be very
fine, aud well suited Tor general use.
A CONSIDERABLE bed Of Plumbago is also
TO be found IN the vicinity Of the Pilot noun
tain, IN the Western part Of The State; but
this IS represented to b. al an inferior quality.
OF the uses of this Ore II Is unnecessary
for us to speak. We have no doubt, that
10 a short time, an immensely profitable
business could bc made by rs excavation
aud preparation for market. The Plumba.
10 may be found 10 large masses uumr,cd
with any foreign ingredients; and rhe SOFT
ness Of the rock u which il IS often found
embedded, renders Us separation extremely
easy. Go tire whole W. consider tie cXts

Tobacco leaves between the beds, DC.
