The mine is worked on tlie long-wiill system, somcwhnt in the manner of a mineral vein. A railway has been formed to the shore; and in 18G6, 1016 tons of coal were extracted. Coal also appears at the basin of Inhabitants, and in two places on the river of the same name ; but I am not aware whether it is of any practical importance. I would suggest, however, to explorers the valley of the River Inhabitants as a promising field of investigation. The only other useful minerals found in the district are limestone and gypsum. The most accessible deposit of the former is that of Plaister Cove, which is large and of fair quality. Large beds of good limestone also occur at Little lliver and the north-west arm of Itiver Lduibitants. The bed of gypsum from which Plaister Cove derives its name is of enomious thickness, and contains some good gypsum, though about two-thirds of its thickness consist of anhydrous gypsum or "hard ; The bed which occurs near Carribou Cove is of good quality; but where it appears on the shore it is deeply covered with boulder-clay. A little farther inland, however, it is nearer the surface. The marls associated with these beds, as they contain large quantities of carbonate and sulphate of lime in a finely divided state, might be usefully applied as a dressing to land. Gypsum has been exported from the bed already mentioned at Little River, and to a considerable extent from Lennox Passage, where, as well as at Arichat and St Peter's, there is good limestone.
