It bas already been bored to the depth of 11 feet at a number of places, with no signs of the end. It extends along the mountain for a considerable distance, and is regarded as, next to the celebrated Corn wall ore hills, the largest deposit of iron ore in Eastern Pennsylvania. Messrs. Gries & Rowe, of Reading, will commence mining operations on a large scale immediately. as ' *% o 5 Ld) ae a ANSONIA BRASS AND COPPER CO., MANUFACTURERS «¢ PURE COPPER WIRE, For Electrical Purposes, Bare and Covered «pe O'NEILS’S PATENT PLANISHED COPPER: W | b Seamless Brass and d er ul MANUFACTURERS OF Worcester, Mass., New York City, Chicago, ‘ Sheet and Roll Brass ti, MAKERS OF IRON AND STEEL a VARIETY.
