There is a considerable revival Of
lead mining in Grant county, Every
few weeks reports are received OF
some one taking out a bunch of min
eral. One of the latest is from Mus
callonge near Beetown. Fred Handy,
Joe Sturmer and Oliver Ashley have
been prospecting on viii Myers place
and have struck promising lead.
They have been taking out the ore in
good paying quantities and the farth-
er they get in the mine the richer il
is. 1t is not probable that mining in
this county will ever occupy the place
it once did but there is good reason
to believe that it will continue for
many years to be an industry of con-
siderable Importance
