LOST LEAD MINE

Was Not Lead Mine at A!l-but
Mol bdenite.
Franklin's lost lead mine was no lead
mine at all, but trace Ct mineral known
as molly bdenite. 1HE AMERICAN some
time ago told cf the discovery OF this
mineral on property owned by Charles
H. Emery, If E..sN 9th, Oh township No.
10
The molybdenite is mineral resem-
bling graphite, and is found in pockets
varying iii size from walnut to half
bushel basket. The Stein & Boericke Co.,
OF Philadelphia, have offered Mr.. Emery
500 ton for all he could ship them, and
are anxious to have him work the depos-
its.
Mr.. Emery believes that somewhere in
he vicinity the mineral will be found in
paying quantities. He visited the prop
erty last week, and followed the trace Of
the mineral for half mile. 1t was
mo- y bde mite, not lead, which was found
by a Frankiln man who died before he
had opportunity TO direct anyone to the
place, which has ever since been known
as the lost lead mine". Tue mineral is
scarce i'll this country, and Mir. Emery
mas an offer of S25 each for small cubes of
the mineral for geological collections.
Mr.. Emery yesterday received letter
from parties who wish to work the deposit,
agreeing to pay him certain amount per
ton, they to bear all the expense of pros
pectiug and mining. Mr.. Emery thinks
fuvora bly, of The fer, and believes he will
let TIE parl les go to work.

BLUEHlLL COPPER MINES.
Reported that Boston syndicate Will
Operate Them.

operate ntH.
w. E. Grind1e, of B.ueulIt, was i'll Els
worth yesterday, on his way to Boston to
confer with representatives of a syndica e
for the sale OF his copper mine, the ue-
hill Central.
Mr.. Grindle says it is generally under
stood that the syndicate has purchased
the Douglass, the Btuehill and two other
copper mines at B!uehll, and intends to
reopen them.
These mines were successfully operated
few years ago, but the fall in the price of
copper made the mines improbable with
the facilities used. The price OF copper is
much better now than when the mines
were closed. The ore is of good quanIy,
and with improved mpcninery 1t is be-
lleved there is money IN the mines.
