Constable Harry Hall, of West Nottingham, who is in West Chester again this week, assisting Sheriff Ortlip in Court work, states that prospecting for deposits of chrome are being made in that section by capitalists who desire to open the mines. There is known to be valuable deposits of this mineral in southern Chester county, and the prospectors are seeking the best stops to open up mines. They found chrome in paying quantities on the properties of Mr. Hall and Mr. Hilaman, which are near Sylmar, and it is probable that operations will begin soon to mine this mineral.
