The Iron Interest.
THE rERRUeNous METAL AT HOME.

We have, from time to time, published
articles concerning the iron, marble, me-
chanical and other interests of Rutland
county and the adjacent country, and
but recently demonstrated the fact that
gold was lying in hidden recesses in this
vicinity waiting to be found. To-day
we can inform our readersthat there are
unmistakable indications that the noun
tains just east of us are full of iron ore,
of valuable kind, and if our surmises
are correct, that new and profitable in
dustry will soon be introduced into Rut-
land. The reasons for our belief may
be briefly stated.
About two miles east of Rutland vii
lage, and little to the south, at the
foot of the mountain, in Mendon, lives
Mr.. Spellman. On his farm, at point
some 20 rods or more from the road, is
an ore bed which he is working
with such tools as he can command,
and of course without such skill as
would develop the whole capacity of the
bed. He Ehas here derrick, a rude
washing trough, and few other appli-
ances for mining, which, in the leisure
time that he can spare from his farm du-
ties, he uses in getting out ore. He has
now something like twenty five tons or
more upon the ground. 1t appears to
be rich hematite ore, easily got out,
and located in such a way as to indicate
that this spot is but one in large and
extended vein running back in the direc-
ton of the mountain; which, if tun-
nelled, would undoubtedly disclose the
presence of vast quantities of the me-
talic ore. The ground at this locality
is rather rough and uneven, and the To-
cation of the bed in question, at the
side of small declivity, allows an obser-
yer quite field of examination. All
the rocks in the vicinity are more or less
mineral in character, and yellow ochre

THE RUTLAND Herald GOLD STORIES.
The recent gold stories in the Rutland
HERALD have not caused such an i'm
mense sensation as was intended by the
writer In the first place there is not a
mountain in the county but what any
one can go up and down without 200 feet
of rope, and Mill river does not lay in
the direction from Rutland that they
speak of 1t would take man pretty
full of Rutland ''rot gut to come to the
top of Killington and see the. river run
ming below it. Neither does Salt Ash
mountain lay where there are any rivers,
and it does not lay nearer than Is miles
from Rutland. --M0ntpeEier Argus.
The Argats man has been reading the
Boston Post correspondence from Rut-
land, for which we are not responsible.
We published it giving due credit to the
Post. The HERALD has made no allusion
in any of its articles, on gold, to Killing
ton or Salt Ash mountain. Mil river is
exactly in the direction from Rutland as
we stated it. viii the argus correct its
statements, so far as the HERALD is con-
cerned?

An Omaha paper states that a Rev.
S. d. Hopkins of Iowa, after searching
throughout Vermont, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, New York and Pennsyl-
vania for some good stock on which to
graft the tea plant of. China at last
found, in Crawford county, Iowa, a
plant called ''Manch-ett'' that has served
his purpose, and that this plant, into
which Tea cions can be successfully
grated, viii grow as thick, as grass, and
can be cat with a moving machine and
the tea picked at leisure, instead of by
hand and from shrubs as from China.
Again, it Is asserted that lin the stock
of the Maneh-ett plant a material has
been discovered which, dissolved. ia
water, will make the tea leaves water
proof and will roll and contract more
tea in fifteen minutes than 100 Chinese
children could do in day So great
confidence has Mr.. Hopkins in this dis
eeyery, it is alleged, that he has pur-
chased Mr.. Foo Choo's this Chinese
partner in the discovery interest, paye

pay him sos, 600 hereafter. He has
found this .stMapch-ett9 plant in great

ling piece of news has just come to

by more than one credible witness, of a
volcano bursting forth few miles north
of us We were inclined at first 10
doubt the statement, but it comes SO
straight, and the story IS so well told,
that It seems there must be something in

fire IN the woods. But second thought
convinced him that was not possible, as
its locality was far above timber line
So with the usual zeal of prospector
for. something new, he clambered ap and
down and over several ridges of the
main range, until arriving at the place
he found himself on the edge of VERT

plainly to be traced the ruin of prehis-

Within the ancient bowl and near the
edge the young volcano had commenced
operations. 1t did not emit violently
while he was there, but c0ntented itself
with an occasional spasm. the rest of

origin, and several Jumps of scoria
