NOVA SCOTIAN fibLD  FIELDS.

estimation of the total amount of gold wliich
has -hitherto resulted from mining operations
in Nova Scotia, ns the claims are for the most
piurt worked by private individuals who ore
generally indisposed lo fiirnlsli information
eilher as lo their success or failure, and no
official returns on the subject have as yet appeared. It is-manifest, however, from tho.
clinraeleristics of Iho localities in .which Ihu
precious metal has nlrendy been dincovcred,
and die great extent of die gdd-bearing portions of tbo province, that there is every-reason
lo anticipate thnt further and more important
results will bo developed by the workings and
explorations of the presenl funi'mer, and that,

position among gold-producing countries. Tin!
thickness of iu auriferous veint is perhaps
less (ban those of California and some other ■
countries ; but thoy are, generally speaking,
richer in visible gold than the oven-grot ihoso
I have seen in any other part or the World.
It must also be taken inlo. consideration that
