Eddy note Mr.. B. y. rhornnr vas in /
town during the week AMI informs the
Citizen that be has at present force Of
100 hands gathering canaigre root. Mr..
Thorner has already shipped TO London
about 800 tons. Tie demand for this
root is largely in excess of the supply. +.
Csnaigre is fast taking the place OF every
thing else in the tanning and dyeing
business. The shrinkage OF this root is /
80 great that it takes three tons of it in the |
green state to make one ton when dried
But at tho present price, $50, it would /
seem to us to be about as profitable a crop
as our farmers could raise. There is no !
question as to the yield it will give.
Grant county note Work will be re-
sumed on the meerschaum deposits near
The Sapello at an early date. Nothing
has been done there since last summer
when small shipment was taken out.
1t is believed that the quality Of the meer
schaum will improve with depth and that
the crystals which are found in the
meerschaum near the surface, rendering
il of little commercial value, will disappear
when a depth of forty to fifty feet is
reached. If meersChaum is found Tree
from foreign substances the claims which
have been located will be very valuable
