Highland Press: In almost every
exchange We pick up, accounts are
seen of parties org anizing and run
ming some abandoned lead mine.
There are millions of dollars worth of
lead in this vicinity that is in the
water and the heretofore low price
paid for the product would not war
rant the expense of mining it. 1t is
to be hoped the mining industry will
be revived since the price of lead has
advanced.
