Excerpt from The Mines and Mineral Lands of Nova Scotia

In the following pages I have endeavored to describe, as concisely as possible, the mineral resources of Nova Scotia.

It will be seen that this Province holds in juxtaposition coal, iron and gold - a boon nature has conferred on few countries. The import ance of this appears more fully when it is remembered that no other Province of the Dominion is similarly favored. The development of our iron ores and coal must form an important page in our future history. Indications of the presence of valuable ores of copper have been discovered, although as yet they are almost untested. Among the minerals that have been worked and present themselves over large tracts of country, permitting a greatly increased out-put, may be mentioned the ores of Manganese, Gypsum, and Barytes Ochres, Brine, Marble, etc.

Our deposits of what may be termed domestic minerals, such as Gypsum, Limestone, Building-stones, Clays, etc. Are of unlimited extent.
