Leesburg Commercial. We are gratifed
to chronicle the discovery of an immense
bed of kaolin on Palatlakaha creek, which
bids fair to fully equal the first discovery.
This bed lies about five miles directly south
of Leesburg, and situated upon lands owned
by parties residing in this place. The bed
lies on both sides of the stream, in fact, the
stream runs for about three miles directly
through it-with high, precipitous banks,
making 1t the best water power in Lake
county. This, of course, enhances the
value of the find to an extent simply be-
yond calculation. The proximity of Lees
burg, with her present central railroad
facilities, will be of immense mutual ad~
vantages to the enterprise and to Leesburg.
Samples have been forwarded to various
parts aud sub uitted 10 expe Is, and, in one
or two instances, most favorable reports
have followed. We wish the owners all
success, both for themselves and for the
