Out of the return of the twentyassayers of the different smelters, probably not a half per cent. Ofdifference will be found in their estimates of the produce. Thesmelters having thus become possessed of the ore, it is transferred totheir own yards, sometimes by means of lighters on the river, but morefrequently by the canal which communicates with Swansea and thesmelting-works. Leaving the town, and pursuing our way northwards for two milestowards Neath, we reach the copper-works. The scene is ...widelydifferent in open day from that which was presented at night. There isno beauty now, and little of the picturesque. The first impression, indeed, the mind is apt to receive, is that of a sense of painfulweariness. Hundreds of chimneys--we speak literally--are vomitingforth that white, peculiar-looking, and unmistakable vapour calledcopper-smoke. Enormous masses of that ugly, black, silicious refuse, known in the smelting vocabulary as 'slag, ' is piled above and aroundin such quantity as to change even the physical appearance of thecountry.
