MINES.
The vichest and most celebrated gob] and E
silver miner,, are those of Mexico and Peru, I
in South Vmerica. Iron mines are more a- ]
blindant in l'urope than elsewhere. Copper fi
mines are chiefly found in England, Sweden I
and Denmark; ant! lead and tin mines in I
England: the latter more particularly in the |
county of Cornwall. Quicksilver
bound principally in Hungary, Spain, Friuli,
:fl i - Yenitinn territory, and Peru; dia*
mo;.d m'mei, in tlie Iiast Indies, and in the
Brazils ; and salt mines in Poland.
To explain the structure of mines, it should
j be observed that the internal parts of the
! earth, as far a . they have yet been investi»
quted, do not consist of one uniform sub
.can-'u, but of- various strata, or beds of sub
tarn c , extremely different in their appear
gravities, and chemical qual
annther. Neitlicr are these
truta similar to each other, cither in their
; nature w appearance, in different countries;
1 ins »much that, even in the short extent of
b di u Hide, the strata will be funnel quite
! different from what they are in another
As little are they the same either in

ed. In tlie.je fissures the metallic ovc is
contained.

In Cornwall, the most common opinion
entertained by the miners is, that crude im
I mature minerals nourish and feed the oicä
are intermixed in the mines;
and that the in.ncrals themselves will, in
'ess of time, be converted into ores pro
