A few days ago we were shown a
specimen of aluminium ore found
on tho farm of Harvey Herold on
Little Back Creek, the per cent. of
this valuable mineral being nearly
2l, SO found by chemist to whom
it was sent for analysis, The spec
linen exhibited showed the alumni
mum in a small pocket form and
was apparently richer than the one
submitted for analysis. The ore
was discovered along the creek bed,
where it had been laid bare by the
current, and Mr.. Herold is now
blasting and excavating to some
depth in order to ascertain the ex-
tent of the deposit and secure as
rich a specimen as may be possible
before having another assay made.
May it prove banana!
