" In addition to the i)laces above described, the following arc locali- ties appertaining to the Cordaite shales, in which the preseueo of ores of co|)per has been ascertained:â "(a.) The shores of the (Jreat Salmon River, Albert County, probably a continuation of the lodes at the Ahna and Ciordon Mines. OreâCopper glance. " (i.) On the Farm of Andrew M'Farlanc, three miles back of Salmon River, Albert, and on the road to New Ireland. OreâPeacock copper and yellow sulphuret, in dark slaty grits. No explorations have been made. "(c.) Near entrance of Little Salmon IJlver, St John County.* A small quantity of copper associated with much iron pyrites, occur- ring in slate. " (J.) M'Lachland's Farm.* Indications somewhat more promising than at the last named locality. " (e.) Near Martin's Head, at foot of the hills, on the north side of the marsh connecting the headland with the shore. OreâErubeseite (or Peacock ore). The specimens seen were of a very rich character. No attempt had been made, at the time of our visit, to ascertain the extent of the deposit, but the locality is a promising one, and deserves further exploration. The focilities for the successful carrying on of mining operations are very superior to those of the Vernon Mine, the land being lower, and the shore protected by the promontory of Martin's Head. Indications of copper have also been observed upon the Head itself. " (/.) Shepo
