Is it not time that the capitalists of our eastern cities and States awako to the importance of opening these mines? At no time, since the discovery of the mines, has their great value been so confirmed as at the present. We have much, of course, to contend against as yet, principally want of capital, which will soon force itself among us.

Iron ore, in large Veins, has been discovered, and is being worked successfully. Also immense reins of 6re clay, of a superior quality, have been discovered, and it is used in making bricks for putting up smelting furnaces, which prove, by experiments, to be a great improvement over the old way of reducing and small gamating the ores.

New processes for the reduction of the ores are being introduced, and even now the surplus capital of Europe is moving to our shores. Is it not time that the capitalists of our eastern cities and States awako to the importance of opening these mines? At no time, since the discovery of the mines, has their great value been so confirmed as at the present. We have much, of course, to contend against as yet, principally want of capital, which will soon force itself among us. Ores in abundance that will pay from $100 to $1,000 per ton, will bring not only capital but supply all our wants. We say to the skeptical, come and see fop yourselves. & HARRINGTON, % SCRANTON, PA G. B SMITH, REED St SCHOONMAKER, Pkoprietobs. S. J. Rem. U. G. Schoonm.vkeb.
