Couldn't a Lengue of -Industries do something about that? ; TKKASUKK FOUND. The biggest stroke of luck reported lately is' that of J. A. rullaid and lulilh Truitt of Uurnsville, N, C, owners of a supposedly worthless tract of land on which there has been discovered a "billion dollar deposit of cyanite." That is a rare and valuable mineral, prized because of its high resistance to heat and used in making crucibles for steel manufacture. With a plentiful supply available, it will doubtless find many other uses. There are said to be "three 'solid mountains of it," aggregating about 10,000,000 tons. Probably no gold mine discovered was so valuable as that. 1 There is a social value in it along with the personal value! In il, ri,-wt.u 11,,,,.,, l..ll.... ii.
