MINERAL WEALTH OF New iAMPsHIRE.-Dr.
Charles T. Jackson, in his lelierl Governor Hub
bard upon the geological riches of that Stnte,
speaks of the existence of mineral wealth, in me-
tailierous ores, to an extent that few would have
anticipated. We have not room for his letter in
e1ienso and can only refer 10 a portion OF the i'm
2orlant and interesting facts he communicates
Iron, as was generally known, is very abundant,
lead is found in considerable abundance, aud zinc
in very large aud important veins, amply sufficient
for the supply of the New England states.
The veins of Copper, noticed in former re-
port have, as anticipated, proved richer and more
solid as they were explored to greater depths, and
one at least OF the least Of these veins is OF
nomical value. This vein is in the town of War.
rem and is now undergoing exploration with a
view to work the mine on larger scale. Rich
specimens of the orc just obained, have been sen!
70 the State Cabinet.
The lead ore OF Sheburne has been found to be
easy TO smot; aud The lead is sufficiently rich in
silver to pay a profit on the expense attending lis
extraction The zinc ores of the same place and
of Warren are boia EARLY wrought, and furnish as
high per cenlage of pure zinc as those wrought
in England.
