Zinc Ore IN Columbia County,

Zinc ore has been discovered on tract
Of land three miles north of Bloomsbury.
1t is owned by Jesse Hoffman and Benja-
min Miller, of Alton, Pa, and has been leas-
ed to Ii. A. Hacken, of Allentown, who has
for years cultivated it for agricultural pur-
poses.
The work of opening up and developing
the vein will begin at once. A force OF
workmen is now employed, taking out
several tons daily.
During the past few days, hundreds Of
people have visited the place where the
work Of excavation is being carried on, as
if to satisfy themselves Of the genuineness
of the report.
Experts say the ore is of very fine quail
ity and claim that the vein 10 of unusual
proportions, which will undoubtedly war
rant its development.
The Delaware, Lackswanna q Western
Railroad Company is preparing tracks for
the transportation of the ore which will be
completed in less than week. The in
dustry will give employment to about 200
men. and this portion of Columbia County,
which has been so long known only for its
agricultural products, promises TO be classi-
fled with the more wealthy for mineral pro-
ductlon.
The above is a special dispatch to the
Philadelphia Press and is dated from
Blooms burg, The tract mentioned is that
which lies north of the d. l.. & W. Rail-
road at Alton, and has long been known
to contain large deposits of zinc. Imme-
daitely north of the Hoffman and Miller
tract the mineral is also found in large
quantities intermingled with the limestone.
Lead is also found upon the tract but
whether In sufficient quantity to warrant
working it out is a question that has long
been in dispute. There are some of the
opinion that underneath the limestone
are large quantities of marble. Perhaps
when the zinc and lead deposits are work.
ed other valuable minerals may be found.

East Benton.

Benjamin Stevens, of New Columbus, at
an advanced age, was buried at that place
on June 11th He was a highly respected
citizen and also pioneer OF the roughs
and wids of stubborn and unyielding,
though highly productive soil, Of which
every inch of territory was stoutly con-
tested before it could be brought under
easy and mechanical cultivation.
Through unceasipg and incessant toll
Mr.. Stevens cleared up as fine farm as
can be found lying on the old Berwick
turnpike between the mountains.
Mrs. Rose Runyan of Hamiline was
stricken with paralysis on the 18th inst
and is lying in very critical condition.
Corn is doing finely. Oats not SO prom
ising.
Now there are lots of claims for the poll
tical spoils.
The old proverb, "Nothing 80 bad but 1t
might be worse" was forcibly brought to
mind when speaking of the disaster Of the
Johnstown flood, Mrs. Spinnogle remarked
that, ait might have been worse" When
asked how it were possible TO have been
worse, she observed that 'if Bloomsbury
had been swept away it would still have
been worse"
Protection, tits an awful sound,
1t CRATES upon the ear;
1t ravishes our pocket-books,
And steals our comfort too.

the trouble to turn their eyes heavenward

sparkles like an electric light in the West

The census enumerators are about
through with their work this week. But
as they are forbidden to reveal any infor-
nation, we must await the announcement
of the population of the town. II there
are any who have not been called upon by
the enumerators will they please report at
the COLUMBIAN office and we viii see that
their names are enrolled. We are con-
cerned only to the extent that we should
have credit for all the growth we have
made in the past ten years. and since there
is nothing to be gained by withholding
names, but rather an injury that will be
felt by all of us we should all sofar interest
ourselves as to get correct enumeration.
From the improvements that may be seen
upon every street it would seem that our
population had increased fifty per cent
over the census of 1880.

The newspapers IN the state are advo-
eating that delegates to State Conventions
should be chosen by County Conventions
and not by committeeman. That was the
custom some time ago, and the democracy
should return to 1t again. 1t is free from
bossisms and makes the delegates repre-
sentatives OF the people rather than the
politicians. Upon this subject the Clinton
Democrat says the following.
1t is the sense of the Democracy that
delegates to State conventions should be
chosen by county committees. The latter
way has gotten to be quite too common OF
late and should be abandoned hereafter FOL
the old way. A convention fresh from the
people is the body which ought to appoint
the delegates to State convention and mol
standing committee.
There did not seem to be any other way
to do it this time, but it is not the Lest way
and hereafter delegates to State conven
lions should be made by the county con
vention, which can be recalled or new
one elected for that specialpnrpose. Ther
there will be no danger OF dissatisfaction
