heard nothing and seen nothing but
lead ore and stone coal. Parties re-
siding three or four miles east of town
have brought to our Office numerous
specimens of pure lead ore and they
all declare that the country is full of
it. It is said that this whole country
is underlaid with this rich mineral de-
pOsit. A party of citizens from town
were out Wednesday and brought in a
wagon load of the ore which has been
fully tested and pronounced genuine.
We have also numerous specimens OF
coal from q twenty-five
neh vein within four miles OF town.
We do not know what it all amounts
%, we only know that our Office is full
II lead ore and stone coal. Arrange
neuts are being made for thorough
of which we will make
all report in due time.-Eidorado
