Recently Discovered.

It Is said that a new material has been discovered In one of the Western States—which one will not be told for a while yet—that may make Its finder fabulously rich. The material answers the purpose of graphite in every way. Outside of the imported graphite, the mines at Ticonderoga have supplied a great part of the stuff from which the leads of pencils are made. The discovery has been kept very quiet, but the stuff is said to answer all the requirements, and can be sold for one-half the price of the present material
