EXCITEMENT AMONG FARMERS.
Boom In Burlington County. n. j.. Land

Boom in Burlington County. n. j., Land
Owing 20 Discoveries Of Clay.
MOUNT HOLLY, Jan l9.-The recent dis
eovery Of a bed Of valuable clay, such as is
used in making crucibles and the like on the
Atkinson farm, between here and Burling-
ton, has caused boom in farm land such as
was never dreamed Of few weeks ago. The
Atkinson farm quadrupled in value the day
after the discovery Of the clay, which is Of
fine quality, and forty feet in thickness in
some plnces, and the Trenton pottery men
say it is as good deposit as they have seen
anywhere.
Since then the neighboring farmers have
been boring for clay in every direction, and
are as much excited over It as II their farms
were underlaid with gold. The few who
ridiculed the idea at first have also caught
the fever, and have men employed in pros
pecting nearly every day. Tbs stratum was
again struck, about 2OO yards north on an
adioining farm, and If the excitement keeps
up il is safe 20 say there will be no crops
raised in that section next summer A COM
pany is now being formed to build pottery.
