Mrs. BoItz's Silver Ore.

Mrs. Augustus Boltz, of Sidney, Kosciusko
county, has shipped to the Philadelphia mint a
piece of ore--supposed to be silver-that one of
the men in her husbands employ had found on
the track of the Nckel-plate railroad. near that
place. The mass had evidently passed through
some smelling works out West. as it bore the
words "Rch Hill" which were cast on the bot
tom. Those who saw it, who had some expert
ence in silver mining, pronounced it combina-
ton of silver and lead. The suppostion is that
the piece of ore fell from the cars in some way;
or it may have been thrown off by some one
intent upon stealing it, for accompice to pick
about sixteen inches in length by about
eight inches in breadth, aud nearly two inches
in thickness, and if pure silver would be worth
something more than $4O0.
