the energy and pluck of some we'll
known Texans in company with q
wide-awake Chicagoa an the land above
the old mine has been untitled as q
dairy farm by parties ignorant OF the
shafts and tunnels through which tons
of rich ore have been brought to the
uses of man. Several years ago Char
les L. Dignowity, of San Antonio,
while digging through some ancient
records, stumbled across story about
this old mine and at once set on foot an
investig alton. Associated with E. A.
Aikens of Chicago, former state
senator in Illinois, he secured the pro-
perty which embraces a tract of near
ly seventy acres at Arlington In Ber-
gen County, New jersey, just across
the river from New York. By studying
old charts and porting over musty and
sime-stsined records they succeeded in
locating several Of the old shafts which
vary in depth from IS to 240 feet. These
had all become filled In with earth
and debris aud in some cases trees two
feet in diameter were found growing
In the mouths of the shafte. By the
expenditure of batween 1925, 900 and
SOC, 900 these shafts were cleared OF
accumulated drift and 6lling and the
water which nearly forty years ago
rushed in and flooded the mines, caus-
ing their abandonment on account OF
the lack of adequate pumping machi-
merry, was drawn off with the aid OF
powerful modern pumps.
Upon descending into the mine it
WAS found that the old-time operations
had been conducted on such q grand
scale that the various cham bers aud the
shafts leading down to them were con
nected by great tunnels whose srched
and ragged roofs are yet supported In
places by trunks of giant trees placed
there possibly q century or more ago.
In some of the vaulted chambers of this
long-forgctten mine there is room for
more than one of New York's towering
sky-scrapers and piled upon the floors
are tons upon tons of ore, sufficient,
according to the statements of experts,
TO keep 500-ton mill busy twenty -four
hours day for twenty-five years.
Preparations are now being made to put
in such mill to utilize this vast
amount of ore mined and left by the
former workers of the mine.
From the old records which have
been gone through in tracing the title
and history of the mine 1t ia gathered
that it was worked as early as 17l9 by
the Schuyler family, using negro
