The 2^d Silver mine is in _Luhla-Lapmark_ named _Kiedlkievasi_ found by _Jonan Petri_ living in _Torpenjaur_ about the 60. year of this age. It is in the middle of the Village _Torpenjaur_, on an high mountain 2. miles from the top, 6. miles from _Rædstad_ a village of _Norway_, between _Rædstad_ and _Keidlkievasi_; there is a famous high hill called _Daorfiæl_ in the road that leads from the mine to _Norway_: the foul weather in the winter stops all passage over this mountain. The mine is rich enough and very broad, continuing the same all over, lodged in a hard Marcasite. It has this inconvenience that there are no woods near it, but they are forced to fetch their fuel a mile and a half off: they use powder instead of digging it, (as before) the melting-house stands 5. miles off in a pleasant place near the concourse of several Rivers, especially _Darijock_ and _Quickjock_, which last gives the house its name. Here is a very spacious wood and great plenty of shrubs, especially currans, and all sorts of herbs. The river affords abundance of the best sort of fish as Salmon, Trout, Perch, &c. distant 27. miles from _Taorne_ discovered in 1655. by an inhabitant who was showing the ore to _Ericus Ericsonius_ who first discovered it. It is very rich and not drossy, only necessary’s are conveyed thither with some difficulty. There is another 3. miles northward called _Wittange_, found by a _Laplander_ in 1668. The vein is not so good because mixt with Iron, wherefore they do not dig it so willingly as the Other; from these mines the ore is shipt away to the melting-house at _Koenge_ to be melted and thence brought to _Torna_. There are Iron mines too, one in _Torne-Lapmark_ joyning to the Copper mine, another in the same _Lapmark_ called _Junesuando_ found in 1640. by _Laurence_ an inhabitant there, about 22. miles distant from _Torna_, whether it is carried to be beaten into bars and rods at the forge at _Koenge_. A 3^d vein of the same mettal is found in _Pelziwachin_ at _Lulha_, but of these the two first only are digged. I heard in 1671. of a Golden mine: but because there was no certainty, I will not insist upon it. I mention it because there are some that affirm that it was found in _Swedeland_ in the time of _Gustavus_ the first, but this was divulged by an uncertain Author, as appears by the event, for to this day nothing more has bin heard of it.
