Description
Excerpt from History of the City of Paterson and the County of Passaic, New Jersey
Doubtless many of the list given by Prof. Tarr have been found no nearer Paterson than the trap rock at Bergen Hill. Possibly all of them may reward the diligent collector in the quarry and other rock excava tions in and about Paterson.
The author has a distinct recollection of once finding, many years ago, Chalcopyrite (sulphide of copper and iron) under'' an overhanging mass of trap in the Valley of the Rocks.
Asbestus was found some years ago in digging a well on Totowa.
Lignite (mineral coal - carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) has been found on High Mountain, and probably elsewhere, in small, thin veins half an inch thick.
Quartz (milky crystals) has been found in many of the excavations in the trap rock in and about Paterson.
