There is a prospect of some work being
done this Fall near what was once known
as Carbonate City, IN miles from Swansea.
Should there be any furnaces again built
here there is every reason to believe this
will become one Of the most promising
parts OF this district. Among the mines
there are the Miser's Dream, owned by
Mau, Hoffman and Stede; the Mother
Ledge and the Rocco, owned by Rocco
Kraniaz. besides other promising and more
or less worked locations. Rocco has done
considerable labor this Summer on the
mines owned by him, and they present q
marked improvement from what they did
. year ago.

know where some Of their old friends are,
/ will state that Hon. Thomas Rockhill and
John O'Brien are working together at
Monte Christie. Tom McKenns and Mike
Harrington upon the late John Spiker's
property; Peter Shearer and Austin Jacob
son upon the ~latter's ground; Thomas
Corcoran upon his own. Corcoran shipped
lately q few tons OF ore from his mine,
which Melted him considerably more than
his maximum anticipations.
The new firm of Robinson (E. N. Robin
SOM g. Reilly, which was formed recently,

Reilly building, and are having a large

tied competition in the mercantile line
seems to be on the eve of Inauguration
here.

which will be crushed at the Smoky. This
ore comes from q perpendicular depth OF

grade they are looking for will prove an
incentive to larger operations.
