BLACK LEAD IN BUCKS COUNTY. – We learn that an enterprising company from Philadelphia have commenced digging for Black Lead or Plumbago, at the old mine on the farm of Edmund Plumly, in Southampton, Bucks county. This mine was worked some years since by William Rodman, Esq., of Bustleton, and others, and a large quantity of Black Lead taken-out, most of which was exported to England, but owing to the low price of the article, the digging was discontinued. At the present time, we are informed, the increased demand for Black Lead, and consequent high price offer sufficient inducements for working the mine again, which is to be carried on with vigor, some of the best miners in the county having been engaged.
The Black Lead from this mine is of a superior quality, and is reported to be the purest found in this country or Europe.
