EXTENSIVE MINE OF ARSENIC.
A few days ago a Mr. Wood brought to the professor of natural history in Columbia college for examination, a parcel of large mineral specimens, which on examination, were found to be Ore of Arsenic. It is uncommonly fine and rich. The story told of it is, that the vein is several rods wide, and several miles long. It is situated in the town of Warwick, Orange county, N. Y. and will probably afford a more copious supply of that important article than the mines of Saxony. The samples are deposited in the Mineralogical Cabinet of the college, in Barclay street.
