GRANT COUNTY MEERSCHAUM Grant county is prolific of the greatest variety of minerals and at the same time sur- prises, of any region of the same area on earth. Now, what is it? Why, it is the biggest meer- schaum mine in the world! Some six months ago the attention of the indefatigable M. W. Neff, of our city, was called to a deposit or vein of earth which it was supposed might be meerschaum. He immediately sent a sample to Europe to be investigated by experts, and re- ceived in reply the information that it was meerschaum of the finest quality. Mr. Neff lo- cated the property, which lies on the Sapello, and has now on exhibition as large and pure a sample as was ever taken from the earth. Tally another for Grant county, and come again. Just let us know what you want and we can furnish it on short notice. Here is the coming mining country of the world. Get in before the boom, it will be too late then unless you have millions.
