Black Lead Mine
Domestic Occurrences. ... ... [March] The black-lead mine in Borrowdale (the only one known in the world), from which all Europe is supplied with that commodity for the manufacture of pencils, has been recently closed, owing to the death of Mr. Dixon, the late steward. Twelve men have been employed in the mine for the last 15 months, without falling in with one single sop of this valuable mineral. |
