"A letter in the Doylestown Lntelli-
gencer, OF recent date, gives the follow
ing account Of finding ore on the farm of
John Mathews, near Lahaska, in Sole
bury township: "From surface indica-
tions there exists valuable bed OF ore at
this place. The spring and well water
show iron dissolution which denotes a
heavy depth OF ore. These samples pre-
sented were picked up from the summit
OF the hill where the vein is located.
From the high situation much mining
could be done at little expense, as the wa.
ter could be carried of by natural drain.
age, and the great expense Of water rails
ing would be avoided. This ore has long
been known. The late John s. Belts
gave the writer a specimen some twenty.
five years past OF nearly pure native iron.
1t looked like the pure black band ore
and wac slightly magnetic. The speci
mems sent are, we think, the brown hema
lite. From the nearness to railroad ia
cilities, we have no doubt this ore, wher
properly developed, will prove very valu
able"
