FOOTNOTES:[1]The useful rocks, as granite, slate, sandstone, water-lime, etc., are not included. By “granite region” is meant one having rocks like New England, and therefore unlike Western New York or Illinois.[2]That is, they are not so easily cut with a knife; they do not necessarily scratch marble.[3]Only the best known localities in the United States are given. For these we are indebted mainly to Professor Dana’s great work on Mineralogy.[4]From Simonin’s “Underground Life,” page 346.[5]Church. The Comstock Lode, its Formation and History, N.
