(important Di,covery. Seine time ago. says the Reading Eagle, Jere miah Ilimmelberger and Charles V. Dauth, of Reading, paid a visit to Lancaster county on a tour al prospecting for minerals. In 1871 Mr. Dauth had his attention attracted to a large tract of rocky land, fora lone time known as Nagle's farm,and latterly as Tarter's farm, si•- uated in Lancaster 'county, about 2; 1 ; miles from Reamstovrn station on the Reading and Columbia Railroad. The tract comprises from four to six hundred acres of land, and is of a rocky diameter. Quite recently ,Mr. Dauth discovered the existence 01 a large deposit of mica; and from the general appearance of the surroundings, it is thought that numerous valuable deposits are to be found at that place_ Messrs. Ilimmelberger and Dauth have suc ceeded in obtaining a lease upon the above tract, and will commence operations about the 2tl of this month. A drift or ;haft will he sunk and, the mica will be taken ant and sbipped to - market. It is the opinion of practical men that this disetway will prove a most profitable one.
