The Elk Democrat, Oetober1 is. says Wealthy
capitalists from the East have lately been prospect
ing in the vicinity Of Grant station, in Benezette
township, this county, point on the line of the
Allegheny Valley Railroad, with view to building
a large paper mill and large glass factory. They
propose TO operate on lands in which biologists
have recently made the discovery Of valuable min
eral deposits, where p years ago water-power saw
mills operated by Cornelius Wainwright and Ralph
Johnson, did prosperous business. This looks
if times would soon boom again under Democratic
rule. With large tannery going upat Medix Run
saw mills at Benezete and other points, paper mills
and glass factory in prospect at Gnntonia, the out
look for Benezette is hopeful. If two months of
Democratic tariff have started all this what will
