A GOLD MINE
Claimed   To  Be   Discovered   In
Wexford Co.
It is claimed tbat while drilling for
oil about one mile south of Cadillac,
a vein of gold quartz was struck and
now several people are quite excited
about it. Tbe vein was struck at the
depth of about 600 feet. It is said to
be of a bright yellow and very heavy.
Speaking ol oil, what is the latest
news from our oi! fields up at Hatton? It had almost passSd from
mind that we were to bave thf-se developed long ago. Probably this rieh
vein of gold extends right down into
our fields and something should be
done about this immediately.
