named Lincoln, seventy-fve years ago
dreamed three nights in succession that
there was gold in a certain locality on the
hill, and finally made her dreams known
to her husband, who spent all his money
Ia investigating, and whose belief in the
value of the mine was so strong that he
went 20 Boston and found an English
miner, who returned with him to Ches-
tcrneid, where the latter put in tunnel to
strike ledge in the locality where Mrs
Lincoln had dreamed gold could be found
Subsequently Or. Charles T. jackson of
Boston, the chemist, Investigated che tun-
mel, which he found to be about 40 feet in
length. The ore taken out was chiefly
moiybdenite. IL is used for making as
says in ascertainiug phosphoric acid 1t
also makes a most beautiful blue, but
has never been found in sufficient Quanti-
ties 60 be proiitably available in this use.
Extensive experiments are now being
made to use the mineral in the manufac-
ture of high-grade steel Two miles away
from this tunnel Is a flourite mine the lat
ter being about one mile from the summer
home of Mr.. Overman OF your city.
From this mine resident of the town
says he has carried OUT thirteen different
ana handsome specimens Of various colors.
William Writ Chapman, an experienced
miner from Colorado, in 1871, backed by
syndicate of wealthy New York men,
went 20 Westmoreland and reopened these
mines, doing some surface work. AT that
time the mineral had almost no CONNER
clal value, the matter of mining being sim
ply experimental. Nothing was done with
the property until about four months ago,
when MIR. Chapman returned and began
operations with a small force of men. lie
has taken out quantity of the richest mo-
lybdenite yet discovered most of It being
absolutely pure for which there is an ur-
gent demand. Mr. Chapman declares that
Mrs. Lncolns dream was not altogether
vision. The work will be continued, I'M
doubtedly with successful results. The
1uorite or fluospar Is used as a fux. 1t is
found in attractive colors that of this To-
cality being of beautiful shades of green.
The locality being worked seems to be able
TO supply an abundance the vein being
several feet in thickness In the hillside
while mining is easy and cheap. The huo-
rite mine will be opened soon. Mr.. Chip
man has already a large supply of the
mineral ready for shipment. So far as
known there has been no attempt to make
il a stock-jobbing affair, either by selling
shares or otherwise unduly urging its pro-
motion, and the money so far expended has
come from the owners of the plant.
