WmTtNCHAM LEAD AND SILVER MIN
ING CoMPANY.-The Nottingham Lead
and Silver Mining Company, which was
incorporated by the Legislature last fall.
organized recently, and they propose to
commence mining before long. The Rec
ord says:
Tradition says that an Indian named
Sadawga, used 10 get his lead from these
mines, with which to make his bullets.
He was the last surviving member Of his
tribe in this vicinity, and lived near the
pond which bears his name, situated about
three quarters of mile west of the center
of this town. He used to hunt and fish
about this pond, and along the Deerfield
river in the west part of the town, which
passes these mines. As near rs our cor
respondent can learn, he disappeared
about 80 years since, and it is believed by
many that he was drowned by the upset
ting of his canoe when passing the rapids
in the river,

for many years that valuable minerals
existed here but no analysis was made
until about 10 years since, when William
b. Harvey Of New York, visited this see

rails. He learned Of these mines and pro-
cured specimens of the ore and had it an
alyzed by DIR. James i. Chiffon, an able
chemist of New York city. The result OF
the analysis was 3l6 ounces Of silver to
one ton Of lead This was in the fall Of
1913. During the following winter or
spring, he returned and obtained other
specimens of this ore, which he had anal
yzed at the mint in Philadelphia, with
like results About this time Mr. Har-
vey's wife was killed by an accident on
the railroad, and he sickened and died
soon after, and nothing has since been
done about these mines till within the
past year.
