For many years it has been known that somewhere in the region of Ragged Lake there is a lead mine. The Indians years ago knew the place and often made trips there to get lead for bullets. The vein must therefore have been both rich and comparatively pure; but they would never tell the spot and the secret died with the older Indians. Among the last of the tribe who knew where the lead could be found was Plumadore, after whom Plumadore Pond was named, and an Indian called "Old Alec." It has been lately rumored that lead has been found there and that a Syracuse party is arranging to open the vain. Nobody here knows anything about the matter.— Farmer.

Lyman Debar, of Duane, has recently located with certainty the grave of Ignace Plumadore (Plumadore, the Indian half-breed who was one of the earliest settlers of Chasm Falls). His grave is in the northwest part of the old Duane cemetery and there are many graves there, which like his have no stone to mark them. It would seem a fitting act for Chasm Fall's people to erect some kind of a monument over his remains, especially so as he left no kin to look after the work of setting up a stone. He died in Duane in 1879 aged about 98 years.
