Brandywine summit Kaoiin Mines


At Brandywine Summit are located
probably the most productive kaolin
mines to be found in the state. They are
owned and operated by H. A. Johns, n
resident of Media. The whole plant
covers over four acres of ground and the
process of mining the valuable product
is quite interesting. A shaft which is 60
feet deep is now being worked with good
results. The clay is raised to the surface
by an engine and heavy crane, and work
men toll day in and day out at the depth
mentioned by means of artificial light,
never coming to the surface except to be
relieved by another gang. The mouth of
of the shaft is hardly more than six feet
square, while at the bottom avenues
extend sometimes from fifty to sixty feet
in different directions. The bottom of
the shaft is timbered up after the order
of coal mines and is thus made safe for
the human beings working within it. Mr..
Johns is also sinking another shaft in
what is known as the Meadows
Already depth of twenty feet has beer
reached, and good clay is found in large
quantities. A narrow gauge track runs
from the shafts to the buildings in which
the clay is made ready for shipment
Cars drawn by mules convey the product
to the point mentioned and not few
men, mules and cars are engaged at this
work.

with bringing on the trouble. Undertaken
Conwell of Lewes, took charge of his
body and sent ii away, with many sad
friends, who came down to accompany it
to Dover to-day.
The most successful season that Rcho-
both has known for many years is about
closing But few of the cottagers have
gore home yet, and, but for the fact that
many of them must ent1r their children
ut the schools early in September, they
would spend that month here.

Complaints are frequent about the con-
dition of the Philadelphia turnpike
between this city and Riyeryiew ceme-
terry. The road is rough and many OBJ
structions are said to be left lying along
the sides. The culvert near the toll-gate,
which runs underneath the road, is left
without rail or fence to prevent team
from falling over. Some 30 or 40 loads
of stone have been lying along the road
for nearly year in heaps. They have
neither been spread on broken and lie
there TO brighten horses or tilt up
wagons. Yesterday double team driven
by gentleman with three ladies' in the
carriage, took fright at some of these
loose objects and ran away. Near the
culvcrt above alluded to one of the horses
fell and came within n few inches of roll
ing over the edge of the culvert, in which
case he would have drawn in with him
the other horse and the occupants of the
carriage. The people who most frequently
travel that road complain that there
seems TO be lack Of attention to the
comfort and safety of the public who
drive that thoroughfare, and they are
anxious for better and safer service on
the part of the turnpike company.

no special panel of jurymen. The cases
against Lewis L. Davis for the murder of

DOVER, Sept. 1.-The remains of Il. o.

ing, and perhaps one of the busiest in the
peach trade. The fruit sold well, the
prices according to quality, varying from
81 to SLY and upwards. In some sec
tons of North aud South Murderkill
hundreds peaches are said to be plentiful
and of good quality. The producers
have no trouble to sell their fruit, as
there are plenty of agents ready to buy
and pay the best of prices In many
cases the peaches are sold and the owners
have checks in their pockets long
before they get anywhere near the ex-
change. The farmers generally are
pleased with this system of disposing of
their fruit, and each year it is becoming
more popular. The exchange ought to
have been established at Dover, and even
now it would be money in the pockets of
our merchants if they were to club to-
gether and buy q lot alongside of the rail
road and give it to the exchange. With
the exchange here, it would be the means
of drawidg producers to our town, and
during the seasons thousands of dollars
would be spent among us, whereas the
money now goes somewhere else.
