In Cumberland Maryland Aug 7 silver and copper ore in paying quantities are found in Allagany County near a legendary source. A gunsmith Johnson stored the ore and died without revealing the site. Copper miner H Clay Robinette from Phoenix Arizona traced the location linked to Johnson. A short line railroad is being surveyed to connect with Wabash and Western Maryland systems, paving the way for a town named Long. Robinette plans to return with a diamond drill to advance the project.
