The new paper mill at Spang's Mill is in full tide of successful operation, and is turning on! wrapping and printing paper rap idly—the latter of a most excellent quality, judging from the specimen shown us on Sat urday. Vi e understand the proprietors to say that they can manufacture and sell paper considerably cheaper than it can be purcha sed in the east —a fact which printers herea ways will be pleased to learn, and not slow to take advantage of. So mote it be.—Hoi idaysburg Standard. A sample of the paper manufactured at this establishment has been received at this office. It is much superior to paper which we worked a few years ago. We hope our brethren of the press will liberally patronize the enterprise of our mutual friend Bare. The project Las been most successfully pros ecuted and the proprietors are now deserving of a ve.rv liberal patronage. FEE BEDFORD COUXTY OH. PROSPECTS. —On ■ ast Monday morning we visited the works of the Bedford County Oil Company at the Foot of Dry Ridge, and found the boring progres sing very rapidly. The depth penetrated was 440 feet. We were informed that they had had three oil strikes, the principal one at 367 feet, which thoy supposed would yield paying quantities. The object is to test the matter fully and if funds sufficient are forthcoming, we have r.o doubt, that they will go to the depth of eight or nine hundred feet. The theory advanced by the operators is that they cannot tell the extent of the oil prospect un til the water is pumped from the well, which may require weeks and even months of pumping before the greasy fluid can be suc cessfully taken out, unless there should be a very heavy escape of gas, which does not occur once in a hundred strikes. We think the question, "Is there oil in Bedford coun ty'.'" is fully settled by this experiment alrea dy, but we must now fathom the extent of the article, and we hope that our people will come forward promptly and contribute the necessary funds to solve this last and only problem. Good judges are satisfied that the indications are fully as good as they are in Western Pennsylvania. Shall the matter be fully tested? We are satisfied that the peo ple of Bedford county have too much at stake to leave a matter of such vast import ance to them to fall through for want of the few hundred dollars necessary to thoroughly deveiope their hidden resources. Let the well go down a thousand feet, if necessary, and let all doubts be removed while we have it iti our power fo satisfy ourselves. By reference to advertisement of The * irgiu Gold Mining Company of Colorado on this page, it will be found that a very favora ble opportunity is there offered of securing an ''original" interest in this region of inex haustible wealth. Professor Edward N. Kent, of the New lork Assay Office, who has visited this dis trict, says: "As to the extent of the gold mines of Col orado, 1 am not prepared to give an estimate, I found enough to fully employ my time Wi hin a radius of five miles of Central City, [the location of the Ledges of this Compa- D ?-j bat as to the richness ot THEM, I have oo hesitation in saying, that I believe them to he the richest ever discovered. With science, C'ifital, and the Pacific Railroad, Colorado is destined in my opinioti, to rival or supersede ' ahfornia and Australia, and become the El Itorado of the World." Ihe large basis of this enterprise—its choice I -edges— at well as its fair and equitable fea tures are such as to commend it to the atten tion of all those having surplus funds for in ■ "straent. As "original interests" in this Company can now be had at slooeach, those wishing to secure them should at once send ;i 'heir subscription s. * HUCKSTERING. —The following Act of in terest to the people of this county, has passed ootb houses of the Legislature, and is now a law : AN ACT, In relation to huckstering in the counties of Bedford, Cumberland, Frank lin, Fulton and York* SECTION 1.

LECOMPTON, KANSAS, \ May 3d, 1880. f EDITORS OF THE BEDFORD INQUIRER It is about 11 years since I left the Old Key stone State for the Great West, yet I feel a deep interest in her welfare. I rejoice to see the Inquirer still on the side of right. Looking over its columns, some weeks ago, I was agreeably surprised to see that Gen. John W, Geary io your nominee for your next Governor. It would have been highly gratifying to me, if either of my old friends of Bedford, Col. F. R. Jordan, or Hon. John Cessna could have been nominated for that office. Yetthe Union Party of Penn sylvania may well be proud of their standard bearer, that honest man, tried patriot, Gen. Geary. He made an enviable recordduring the war in battling for his country's rights , while his opposers did all they could to over throw the best political Government among men. Living in Lecompton where Gen. Geary acted as Governor, during part of the exci ting times of the Kansas troubles, I have made considerable effort to inform myself as to how Geary was liked daring his stay in Kansas.J and find, that while he made him self obnoxious to every old Pro-Slavery Dem agogue and his partisans, he won the con fidence of every Uniou man, Republican or Democrat. If the people of Kansas had the verdict to render on the 2d Tuesday of October next, Clymer would be willing to join his friends in Mexico. F. B. HILL.

Americans are proverbial fur the avidity and commendable zeal with which they participate in enterprises having for their object the develop ment of our national resources. At one time "Railroads"—at another "Coal"—th< n -'Copper" or "Iron and more recently '-Oil" have been the ali-absorbing topics. In all these several enterprises, as will i,e recol lected, those who Ft it st took hold of them made money : some larger amounts thun ethers, accord ing to their investments. Mining operations in the fields of Colorado and elsewhere turf mainly engross the public atten tion. Considering that several such companies have been already organized—they are now at work —that the reports from their mines are high ly favorable—that it is known that at the present time there are on the way from the ledges of Ne vada and Colorado numerous "bars of silver" and "bviokg of gold," it is believed that the enthusi asm already manifested on the subject will, in a little time, be so greatly increased on the recent and exhibit of these "returns," that innumerable companies will spring up, whose etock, being bas ed at the then greatly inflated prices of ledges, will necessarily be less desirable than that novr to be had—thereby giving to those who avail them selves of the occasion now presented, of securing "original interests:" an opportunity of then dis posing of the large amount of stock each holder receives, at a handsome advance. With these preliminary remarks the following Prospectus is respectfully presented. The property of the Company proposes to be organized by the sale of these "original interests," consists of the following Ledges, all situated with in a radius of fire miles of Ceutral Citv, Colora do.

THOMAS MASON, AtUj at Law, Central City, Colorado. The space of a circular is too limited to give the opinions of numerous distinguished citizens and men of science- who have examined this dis trict ; the following extracts relate thereto, and tEat of^Professor Edward N. Kent in particular, of the New York U. S. Assay Office is directly in point: Our late lamented President—Mr. Lincoln—du ring an interview with Speaker Colfax, relative to the hidden wealth of Colorado, Nevada, Ao., said ;- "I have very large ideas of the mineral -wealth of our nation : I believe it practically inoxhauati ble." The Hon. J. P. Upshcr, Secretary of the Inte rior, in the Official Report presented to Congress, dated December sth, 1804, referring to tho then present condition of our Western Territories, says: "The wealth embedded in the roAs of that exten sive region i actually inexhaustible, and it will furnish in future years, indirectly a principal part of our means of liquidating tho debt con tracted by the Government for the overthrow of the Great Rebellion." The Hon. H. P. Bennett, delegate in Congress from Colorado, in a speech before the House of Representatives said: "Judging from what I know of tho undeveloped resources of this coun try; from what lam told by practical miners who arc well informed nt.on this subjeet, I do say here to-day before this House and before this Country, to he placed upon the records and read of all men —4hat within five year's time, and by the year 1860, the gold field3 4 of Colorado Territory- will produce $50,000,000 annually ; and even then its full resources of mineral wealth in gold alone re main not wholly developed. I speak from the united testimony of many practical miners who have spent many years in the mines of California, when I say : —that tho gold-bearing region of Colorado is far more extensivo ; quito a: inexhaust ible, and the gold-bearing quartz of a much richer quality than in California." Professor Edward N. Kent, of the New York Assay Offiee, says: "As to the extent of the gold urine? of Colora do, I am not prepared to give an estimate, as I found onough to fully employ my time within a radius of five miles of Central City, {the location of the above Ledges,] but as to tho richness of THKM, I have no hesitation in saying, that J be lieve them to be the richest ever discovered. With science, capital and the Pacific Railroad, Colora do is destined in my opinion, to rival or supersede California ami Australia, and become the El Do rado of the World." Tho opinion eutortaincd by those abroad of claims in this district, is shown by the following extract: English capitalists have purchased £600,000 of the Colorado mining lands, and their agents and employees are now en route to develop the same. The claims are principally in ltussell and Trail districts, und a recent purchase has been the Sea ton Lode of 1000 iert for which they paid £IOO,- 000. An idea of the value of some claims (100 feet each) may he formed when the fact is considered that often occurs that they yield millions of dol lars, and hat oin several instances been sold for 825.000 per foot. Mr. Field.-, from 334 feet of the Uubf-eil Lode has taken out already over $200,000 in gold, and $266,000 has been offered and refused for 3-41 feet of this same lode, equal to SBOO,OOO for a claim of one hundred feet. As the purchase of cither of the above lodes would require more money than the majority of persons have at command, it has been determined to consolidate them, and to divide thtin into Tweh e Hundred and Fifty ORIGINAL SHAKES which will cost the subscribers hereto ONE It INDUED DOLLARS EACH, thus affording the nntu of limited means, as well as the capitalist, an opportunity to secure an in terest in this region of "practically inexhausti ble" wealth. As all arc aware, the usual plan adopted fur the development of such a property i to form a company and issue certificates of stock. The plan here proposed may be considered pre/tMiiiti ry to the formation of two or more Companies on these properties' which are subject to no royalty, lease or mortgages. TheSuuse:iubkits can then upon this solid and substantial basis, elect officers from among them selves, each subscriber being eligible to the posi tion of an officer of the Company.
