Old Slave Reveals Rich Silver Mine Legend Near Richmond
A Richmond dispatch reports plans to begin large scale silver mining in the nearby mountains once weather permits. The tale centers on Gaiter, a slave who allegedly found a silver lode about 1858 and later shared the secret with his son Henry after escaping to Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania. Henry’s trips and talks with local capitalists spurred a land purchase and a one fourth stake for Gaiter, with ore samples and a silver brick in hand. The story has sparked public excitement as agreements are negotiated.
