Where dikes of trap-rock have been injected into slate, the latter is often found charged with pyrites ; and this pyritiferous slate is an article of much economical value, as, by a very simple process, it may be made to produce both copperas and alum. 18.

Halaman 6 - January, as in the other North American colonies, there is the usual thaw ; in February is the deepest snow, which seldom exceeds four feet on the average' in the northern portion of the province, and three feet in the southern portion.
