A Faii,lre.--Ths Record says that the effort
| 10 work the Corundem mines In Ne~lln, Ches-
| ter County, Pa.,has proven losing speculation,
the article not being found In sufficient quanti-
ty. We believe that several Wilmingtonians as
well as New Workers, were engaged In the en-
terprise. The mineral Is very valuable selling as
| high as $500 per ton, and some 200 tons are an
nually Imported for use In the United States
We hope that further excavation will prove
more profitable.
