Rich Lead Mines in Carroll.

The lead mines on the old Cox farm, two
miles from Union Bridge, are being worked,
and a company with capital of $1,000, 900
has been formed for full development and
working of the mines.
The mines have so far yielded the purest
lead ore ever obtained in the United States,
and as yet the shafts have not penetrated to
the depth usually reached before the richest
ore is found. In no place do they penetrate
more than $50 feet below the surface of the
hill. under which the mining is done; and, as
a rule, depth of 500 feet is necessary before
the mine pays well.
Already the recorded assays have shown
that the ore contains from 81 to 81 per cent.
of lead, together with small amounts OF silver
and c,.atlleium carbonate or lime. In fact, one
test which it was impossible to record sheey@aS
% per cent. ~,nck or
Considerable silver is also present, vary.-@
from l to 5 per cent. inversely as the amount
of lead. For instance. the ore is put, when
first extracted, into three piles, the first CON
tanning the ore richest in lead; the second
that which it does not pay to transport to the
smelling furnaces, but which, if there are
ever furnaces on the spot, 1t will pay to work;
and, thirdly, that which has been hitherto
considered worthless, and given to anyone
who will haul it away for making roads, &c.
lhlS intro pie When IeoIcu ny thc i@"t nc .
method, was found to contain per cent. OF
silver. an amount for which it would pay to
smelt the ore.
II has also been discovered lately that the
limestone can be put to a good use, thus
creating another source of revenue.
Biologists ofthe neighborhood of Baltimore
have gone into ecStacies over the outlook, and
A prominent Colorado miner said that if such
a mine were in his state the whole country
would go wild about it.
The company has been Incorporated, and
officers, with the exception of the vice presl-
dent, have been elected. They are H. c..
Turnbull, Jr., president; A. P. Strobel, sec
retary: James S. Caldwell, treasurer, and II.
r. Gilingham, general superintendent.
The vice president will be chosen from
among the new buyers of stock, so that they
may have a voice in the direction Of the
affairs of the company.
