menccd at that time have diligently and faithfully
carried by Prof H. D. Rogers the State Gcologist We
have lust received his fifth annual report this interesting
and important subject embraced in pamphlet Of more than
one hundred and fifty pages Prof Rogers thinks that an
other year will suffice to complete the explorations the final
Report will be full ani valuable account of the geo
logical structure and mineral wealth of Pennsylvania
The researches have conducted by dividing the State
into six districts and directing the attention OF the corps to
each of these The first district comprised the
Southeastern portion ot the State embracing that part OF
the belt of hills known the South Mountains, ana incu-
cdbewecnth Delaware and Schsylk rivers he course
and character of the range traced in detail At Chest
Ill., in the ~ f. extremity are found scrPcnt'ne and

csng minerals Bands of quartz and tdspar, with veins OF
cpiotc trcmoic nephyitc and soft asbestos frequently
On the Western side of the Allegheny Mountains, near
the junction Of Beech Creek and the coal beds
are found varying from four nine feet in thickness At
Phiipsburgh also rich coal mines found and wrought
TO considerable extent also Mu'nt Pleasant, hart

Along the line of the Portage Railroad, also new and rich
beds of bitumnous coal have been discovered.

These ores belong chiefly three classes, magnetic iron
ore brown oxide of iron and compact carbonate OF iron
the last two kinds being much the extensively dfused

above is given for the ore; after roasting, the ores
would not retain quite the relation each other in this
respect the carbonate losing matter by the
