The Baltimore Herald says: While
old John Brown was organizing his
memorable Harper's Ferry raid he
gave out that he had come to settle in
the South Mountain as prOspector
for ores of the precious metals. He
affirmed his conviction that the rocks
through which the Potomac had forced
its way at the Ferry contained the
raw material of untold wealth. After
the raid had been consummated his
story was regarded as an idle tale,
cOncocted for the occasion; but from
time to time small quantities of au-
riferous quartz have been found in
the rocks, just as he predicted. Now
comes the announcement that near
Weverton, in Washington county, and
Berlin and Knoxville, in Frederick
county, all located on the same group
of rocks, quantities of silver ore have
been discovered on the Virginia side
of the Potomac.
