 Since the news broke about the Salisbury iron mines opening, farm CTS hereabouts have been brushing off the silica lodges trotting out their garnet samples, and generally pre- pairing for the anticipated rush of the lease hounds and mineral hunt CTS. This township hasn't much iron but 1t has almost every other kind of mineral including an abandoned oil well.
 Looking over the possibilities,
 it's pretty fair town to be sit

 Defense program is due to use
 all manner of metals, precious
 and otherwise. There1l be need
 for garnet dust for grinding and
 polishing, oil for lubricating the bottle-necks in industry, and

 and into the marts of interna-
 tiOnal trade. The line forms on
 the right. Want to buy few
 mineral locations? The hunting
 is excellent.
 Our nearest iron mine is at RoX- bury Depot, and there are more tales about that mine than a few Folks started digging there back in 1750. and while they were looking for silver they found one of the very few American deposits of side rite. The ore vein was about eight feet in width and more than a mile long. What those diggers did to Mine Hill is a caution! And it's hard digging over there, too.
 According to legend, the Oper-
 atOrs hired a German to come
 over and develop the silver mine.
 He drew heavy on the cash and
 produced lot of excuses. When
 they moved him off location, he
 took several heavy boxes with
 him and rumOr has it that those
 boxes contained real silver. Any
 way. folks hired Yankees after
 that and spent about a million
 dollars wrestling with that ore.
 They damned a brook and ere ated a reservoir. At the foot of the hill, huge furnaces were built and the charcoalers reaped harvest keeping them in fuel. The ore had a high gas content and flue explo- sions. just about ruined the back CTS, but they kept at 1t. Tn fact, off and on, that outfit kept mining and smelting for over forty years. The best estimates on output seem to be about ten tons of pig iron per day. when the furnaces were not exploding, That hillside above the old shepaug was busy place when Mine Hill was really producing and the payroll was heavy enough to put q kink in anybody's bankroll.
 It's surprising that Mine Hill
 hasn't been discovered by some
