Belvue, Jan. 15, 1889. Editor Gazette I read in last week's Gazette of an iron ore discovery near St. Marys and I venture on my own judgment that the find is reliable. 1 am sorry that the article did not locate the discovery more definitely.

I will locate a find that I made in 1876 and about one mile east of Bourba-ny creek and some north of the Union Pacific railroad. 1 went there to get coal from a seven-inch vein. To try its quality and in digging out the coal large sweet-potato shaped nuggets of iron ore were found. These were very heavy and bedded in at the bottom of the coal. Perhaps all the ridge between there and Snake creek is full of the ore, as the formation is the same.
