ton, about one mile distant from said trsct) on Friday, the
25th Of October next. Should that day, how ever, be rainy,
or unlikely, the sale will be suspended mill Tho next ,uc.
ceeding fair day. The land will be either sold in one en-
tire tract, or divided, as may seem expedient on the day Of

The quality is that of thin farming land, with the ex.
ception Of the Hats, on one Of the creeks, which are very
fertile, and hneiy adapted 10 the production OF grass, SC.
This land is in the midst OF a region known TO abound with
mineral wealth such as gold, sulphur and slate-in rela-
ton to which, almost every day is marked by some inte-
resting dcvelopement. There are extensive beds Of iron
ore, OF fine quality, and from which during the war of the
revolution, large supplies OF the coarse munitions of war
were obtained. n
A considerable portion Of the iron works used then, in
the extraction OF the metal from the ore, are standing at
this day. aud may perhaps be sdvantageousiy used when
ever the manufacture of iron shall be resumed. The wa
ter power afforded by Bear Garden Greek, which passes
through this land. is sufficient Tor all the purposes OF a
country mill. The supplies of timber furnished by the
land, Ohe whole, with the exception Of some four or live
hundred acres, being covered will, original iores,) are We
ry extensive; and it is believed, that other contiguous
well 'imbered ldni might be procured at a moderate price,
whilst the generally level surface of the country presents
every facility for the transportation OF ore, fuel, Sc. The

perry more particularly whilst they feel authorised TO

OF access Tor changing the shape and character Of the pro-
ducts which il affords, its nearness to James River, distant
not a mile, and 10 Richmond only sixty miles, gives 10 a

Deane, Jr, who reside Immediately in the neighborhood.
