ORKNEY SPRINGs.-Encouraged by
the superior success Of Orkney as a
place of summer resort for inva,ids and
pleasure seekers the proprietors have
continued their work Of improvement
since the last season, until it may now
be said to be complete. Since last sum-
mer an artificial lake Of considerable
volume has been made within so yards
Of the main building and in full view. 1t
is ample for pleasure boating. and is
supplied from constant stream Of run
ming water. With its adornments and
natural attractions with its hotel ac-
commodation for 1000 persons with
its great variety Of mineral waters DEM
onstrated by the analytical chemist of
our State University to contain all of
the most valuable medical properties ::
with its accessibility and all of it's mod
ernized conveniences-notably its rail-
road, telegraph and mail facilities,
Orkney must take rank among the most
popular resorts of the country. Last
Summer when the Centennial was the
attraction Of both continents and noun
tain resorts were in no small degree
neglected by the public, Orkney was
among the few places that held COM
pany proftably. We are also credibly
informed that the large wen of coal
some time since discovered above Ork-
ney has led to active and successful en-
terprise in this county, just below the
springs, and that coal is now being tax
en- by the citizens. This being the case
the Orkney mountain, must abound with
this valuable mineral, as has been con-
fidently believed by our people for many
years past. We hope to hear soon that
Messrs Moore s. Perry have discovered
themselves the fortunate possessors of a
| big bonanza in connection with the
Springs. What they have done for
Orkney, was done for purposes of profit,
but it rebounds to the good of our whole
community, and justly entities them to
our best wishes for their continued
prosperity.
