The principal mines of this metal are those ofTunaberg, near to Nykoping, and at Awed, in East Gothland. These mines afford excel-lent cobalt, but the quantity is not great. Coal mines. Coal mines have been worked forsome time in Scania, two leagues from Helsinborg, and are affording a considerable return.Sulphur and vitriol. The pyritical minerals of Dylta afford annually 1050 quintals of sul-phur, and those of Fahlun about 100 quintals of the same substance.
