Show SJaty. Ogden is becoming excited over the recent discovery within three and a half miles of the town, of a large deposit of slate. It is said, a wagon can now be driven to within eighty rods of the ledge, and a little outlay of means will make a road directly to it. Great blocks of readily splitting slate are lying around the ledce. Ogdenites should be careful how they trifle with slates. Many business men in this vicinity can account for their failure by following the pernicious pernici-ous habit of keeping slates. |
