BENNlNGTON'S GOOD FORTUNE.
a Valuable Deposit of Graphite Discover
ed by IL T. Cmshmnn.

On the east side of Mt. Anthony, be-
tween ono and half and two miles from
the center of the village of Bennington
is the scene of mining operations, a weir
of graphite being sought for. The mine
has now been opened to a depth of about
sixteen feet
The digging and blasting has been ii
limestone and mica schist. Evidences
of a rich find were apparent in the early
stages of the work, and as the eXcava-
ton becomes deeper the prospects be-
come still more encouraging The gra-
phite is now found in ncrustatons but
growing in quantity and improving in
quality as the work proceeds, and il
is now hoped that vein of the free min
eral may soon be struck. Upon washing
the dggings now yield about 80 per cent
OF graphite. We're 1t possible to bring
water to the mine for washing purposes
this percentage would make a profitable
yield, but no water can be found in suffi-
cient quantity in that vicinity, SO work
is now simply search for the vein
which is supposed to be near In case
a vein Of sufficient purity is found. a
profitable market for the entire output is
assured and if hopes are not blasted, an
industry of considerable proportions will
be added to the list that already makes
Bennington an enterprising and prosper
Gus town.
Evidences of Tho presence Of graphite
were found some time since by Harry ~
Cushman, county clerk, while prospecting
for the bi-sulphide of iron, iron pyrites,
deposits Of which are to be found in this
vicinity. He was successful as far as he
went in his search for this latter material.
but for several reasons abandoned fur
ther work in this direction to follow up
the evidences he had found of a richer
1niner11 1bffe FINALLY bp
to warrant him in purchasing several hun
dreQ acres Of land whore the mine is
situated and operations We're then COM
menccd all of which have been under
the personal supervision of Mr.. Cushman.
lie tells an interesting story of the cir
cumstanCes that lead to the location OF
the graphite. In his search along the
mountain side he noticed a chpmunk hole
Turning over the dirt that the animals
had thrown out MI Cushman detected
some glistcnue particles that upon a
test, proved TO be graphite. And so the
presence of deposit was discovered and
the mine opened.
Mt. Anthony is a peak of the Taconic
