SILVER NINE.

SILVER NINE.
Several gentlemen have lately formed
an association Tor working what is called
he old Silver Mine, 10 Sing Sing, West
Chester County. New York.
Al the commencement of the revolution
AIRY war, a 0unber OF men were employ
ed in this mine, under the ssuperinten.
,,ence OF Col james, British officer. In
consequence OF being the subject OF So
yereign with whom we were at war, be
was prevented from prosecuting the un.
dertaking by peremptOry order Of our
government, issued soon after the battle OF
t;ubke,'s hill; since which time from
want of the necessary skill and capital
united in the same individuals. The mine
has remained till lately neglected.
The persons VINO are now engaged in
re>opeoing the Nine, expect rich re.
wald We think, however, il is cheaper
for Americans TO buy what silver they
want, than to dig for 1t.
