Lead mine.

--It is reported, on good authority, that extensive deposits of lead have been discovered near Willis's Mountain and Curdsville, in Buckingham county, Virginia, and a detachment of Lieutenant Cassell's party of engineers have been sent to further the discovery. Of course it will be worked by Government if found in quantity sufficient to warrant the undertaking.
