These general remarks were neces sary to a correct understanding of the veins in the greenstone f rmation em bracing the gold region of North Cftfi olinn. On a former ocension, I remarked, thauhe vcins o. the greemtone. now inj q irstion are distinguishable into three f Lj This granite, In its atfwturei resemble verv rnueh the franite called "t'entral GnTN.

C d j I followed this formation of secondary greenstone, paring into hornblende, in a north east direction, from Salisbuiy as far as the Vir ginia line : and it seems that the hornblende, i west of Lynchburg in Virginia, belongs to the fotciationi, n well on accfoiint of their age as in owcr. particulars. I willex- tend the view I then took of the auh The oldest formation of yeins. ner- tiins more particularly to the south west part of the gold region. The thickness of these veins ia from two to lour teet ; their extension in, length is known already " to exceed i mileT Thirgtvet tsstirancethltnheyTink to J considerable depth. Their general direction it east n& mtt? dipping oc s casidoally 40 to 50 North.

Where the atmospheric air could have any influence on these pyrites we fin that one part 6f the sulphor has ei. caped ; the consequence of which is, the metallic appearance of the pyrites is changed to that 6f brown reddish oxid of iron; and owing to this color we can see the fine particles of gold, and ascertain the richness of the de posit. But where the pyrites have not undergone this change, then the gold cannot he discovered, owing to the color behg nearly the fame. fj) The second form ition of veins' in which gold is found, is more extensive than the first, aud occasionally con tains -richer iiepostts of gold f -but J -think they are less ia be relied on for regular profits,' than the veins of the first. The roost of the veins in the eastern and' north eastern section of (be gold region belong to ihU frms tiotir" s'.- : I hazard the opinion, that the veins r t . . ... r .'V " ----- . oi tms tormatioo ao not always extend to so great a depth as those of 'thc one before mentioned firtt because, the greenstone superincumbent on the granite in this prt f the region is comparatively not so deep, and tecond ly, the veins already discovered are sel dom more than twelve to fifteen inch es thick. The gold, and other res particularly belonging to this formation a s t e are enciosea in rnomnucui q.ia-tz. It appears, that the gold is sometimes deposited in other substances,-whrch however are peculiar to certain places. (h.) The greetntoneriitttht mrs ia most generslly decomposed, !ind mix ed with a great number of loose crys tala.of. prismatic iron pyrites.- Be tween the greenstone and the vein, of at the "place of their junicli6n,fhe gold is most generally found. Hence it is, that we often see specimens or pieces Composed -partlytf the vein, and parte .. I lv f-the greenstone, apparently ...held together, and uuitedjby jhe,g. -Id hich runs through both substances. All the large pieces of gold that have beeo found in this country," pertain t'j the veins of this ftrmation.--(r.)" The third formation of veios, is m're widely dispersed than the two others, nnd may be found over the greater part of the region. Th'ir thickness generally exceeds that of ihe veins of the first and second and their direction, in length and drpth, is seldom one like the other. The ma terials composing these veins are : rhomboidal quartz, mixed with pyri" midal copper pyrites, prismatic blue malachite, dipr'nm tic green malachite, prismatic iron pyrites, prismatic ar senical pyrites, prismatic tellurium glance, prismatoidal antimony glance, and lastly, here and there, fine metal lic gold. It is very probable, that these veins, sliould th?v be pursued, if not productive in gold, may, at a Rrcster depth, become valuable on ac count rf ihe'cbppeYrand'.otheflTttetaU f-und in them. 7 bt Continued. Of-J My own experiments have tathfied 8 of the correctness of these remarks, Within the pat two years, veins have been worked on, and at the depth of eight or tea feet tio wore gold is seen, but pyrites m peat abun dance are found. I have analy sed some of the pyrites and find in them the same relative pro portion of gohl, as in the brown red oxid of iron.
