Another Find -This Time Silver- Rumors of unearthing veins of nrecious metal in various secfions of Columbia County have been quite numerous for more than a year past In fact, so thick have these stories been floatinc through the air that people are loathe to believe any of them, and are inclined to look upon them as huge jokes. The latest dis covery, and one which gives promise of yielding a nice profit has been made on S. Vv. Reeders farm in Franklin township. Mr. Reeder's belief that the ore is present in paying quantities is stimulated by the fact that several specimens taken from the vein have been tested and show richness that will net, he thinks, over one hundred dollars a ton. There are two vein, one three feet thick and forty feet wide; and the other fifteen inches thick and foity feet in width. It is hoped that Mr Reeder's expectations may be realized Y- M. 0.
