A circumstance which we observed here, and nowhere else, but which we deem very interesting, is the successful use of peat, in large proportions with coal, for the smelting of the ore. This fuel appears to answer very well, and is very economical. * The mines of Leadhill possess an institution well worthy of being in- troduced into other mining districts ; we allude to a library for the use of miners. This institution, formed on the same plan as the Apprentice's Li- brary in this and other citi...es, is calculated to spread instruction among the lowest classes of miners. It contains many excellent works on the art of mining, besides a large stock of works of standard merit on religious, mo- ral, and miscellaneous subjects. This cheap method of conveying informa- tion is peculiarly desirable for this class of the community. The hard and laborious operations of the miner take up but a small proportion of the hours of the day; the remaining hours are too often given up to dissipation or idle- ness.
