A Rich Strike Near Adam
burg, Snyder County.
Phihulelphutnii Interetted in iVo
ptding and Tenling Specimen.
A Aaniorr of fl-act of
Lamh leaned.
There is a quite undercurrent of
excitement in Adanisburg, Snyder
county, which, it is expected, will
result in the finding of hidden treas
ures in the as yet undeveloed lime
stone ridge aud a regular Klondike
Imkiiii for Adamsburg. Philadel
phiuns are interested in this new en
terprise and for the past week the
prospectors have been tapping and
testing specimens found on the ridge
that runs between the Jacks and
Shade mountains.
The object of this search is not
the glittering gold of the Yukon.
It is a practically new discovery ot
some phosphate substance that finds
its home in the same localities as
imestone. This new material is
used entirely for the making ot some
fertilizing comosition which is now
leing worked in the Tusenrora al
ey with great success. This new
enterprise has at its head Harry
uchter, of Selmsgrove, one of the
est known mining experta andeng-
iners in the state. J le is a lirm
xilicver in the discovery of mineral
treasures in the limestone ridge that
will make Adanisburg the Dawson
City of the quiet little vally between
the Jacks and Shade, mountains and
may sidetrack frotune seekers from
the sea voyage to Juneau to the
jewistown division of the Pennsvl-
ania Railroad.
The working of this limestone
ridge has Ix-on kept quiet and all
newspaper men and outsiders have
K'en told to await the oiiemng ol
pring, when a sensation was promis-
I luring the past week arrange
ments have lieen coni)lcteil by which
the new enterprise is an assured suc-
sess.
Mr. Richter, who is acting as the
superintendent, did not care to 1h
interviewed on the subject, but a
reMrter received the following facts
rom several of the land owners with
whom Mr. Richter has been trans
acting business. The new company
is making provisions to work the
ridge for alxtut two miles east ot
Adanisburg and one mile west.
Options have Imh-ii secured for this
purjtose from the following well-
known land owners: Wm. Dreose,
Joe Gcarhard, John Klinrer,
Joseph Snook, Henry Getz, Moses
Bentcr, Lxra Smith and John Wv-
and.
These options are good for five
years, with the proviso that it the
promises ef the new mineral prove
g(Kd the company can make leases
for years. Other provisions are that
each land holder shall hold a royalty
of 8 jH?r cent, of every mineral min
ed, with the exception of coal, which
is put at o per cent. One of the
land owners is evidently expecting
to have gold found on the Lime
stone Ridge, aud in this contract he
has exempted gold. Still another
provision is that all of the products
mined shall be worked into the ne
cessary lertiliung composition in
Adamsburg, and that the requisite
labor shall be performed by Ameri
can laborers. Bv these provisions
it is expected that the town and its
citizens will share in whatever suc
cess the venture may prove.
I he hopes of th towns people ot
Adamsburg arc very high, and it is
expected that as soon as spring opens
work will lie pushed rapidly for
ward and the new mineral mined in
large quantities.
Those in a position to know say
that this phoshate substance has
stood all of the required tests, ..and.
maxts up a omposiuon lor lenuis
ing purposes that will find a tare
and certain market, no matter how .
large the output. . . . '
