About ten townships of Morrow county
are oom posed of timbered mountains,
the estcrn epur of tbe Blue mountain
range. Among these mountains bat
vry little prospecting bat ever been
done, but there probably will be during
tbe coming summer. The great suoofRB
of mining ht Sampler and other points
not far from the .Horrow oounty Hue,
will stimulate the work.
Stookraiging and farming- have always
been Morrow ooauty'u most successful
industries, but iu the near future her
mineral resources will be given a fair
est.
D. B Stalter has been highly anocese
'ul iu the above Industries, but ha
never forgotten early experiences he has
hud io miniog, and at old times baa
prospeoted iu Morrow county's moun
tains. Be has just retained from tbe
