Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Topographical and Historical Sketch of the Town of Andover, in the County of Hillsborough, and State of New-Hampshire
In some parts of the town, near the Ragged Mountains, are found masses of excellent granite, which has as yet been made but little use of. There is also every indication of iron ore in the southerly part of the range. In passing over the ledges, it has invariably been found that the nee dle was more or less attracted. Considerable quantities of iron ore have been taken from the southern borders of Loon pond. Black lead of superior quality has also been frequently found at the foot of the mountains. These circumstances certainly indicate the existence of some valuable minerals in this mountainous range, and should in vite the attention of those versed in mineralogical science.
