The chickanominy Mil and Ledge.

| The Chckahominy is gold bearing ledge wildly
known int this community as one Of the richest in
the Territory. The company organized in New
York last winter for the purpose of working it,,
was incorporated under the name OF the Golden
G. & S. Mining Company, and the mill which is
how being. erected is properly the Golden Mill.
The natural propensity to adhere to old names in
the minds Of the pubic, however, is stronger even
than an etof incorporation, and the mill as well
as the ledge is still popularity referred TO as the
Chickahonliny.
The Ghiekah ]miny has been more fortunate than
many others IN this vicinity, IN existing at an
early day the cooperation Of men of both capital
anu energy sufficient to thoroughly test It's value.
and PROV de the means OF development on scale
commensurate With the size and wealth CT Tho
ledge. The officers OF the company are Wm. Il.
Kirkland, President, f. W. Joues, Secretary, both
| OF New York. The Superintendent Of the works,
Air. ID. Richardson, arrived here short time ago,
with most OF the machinery for the erection of the
mill. W alter privileges were secure ed at point
on Moore creek about four miles from Idaho city,
and not far IRON the ledge, and during the past
two weeks the dim old pine woods has fesounaed
with tie hustle and LABOR OF between forty and
hfty men. We visited the grounds on Thursday
aud found the works progressing with surprising
rapidity. Mr, Richardson, the Superintendent, is
evldentIya gentleman who understands his bust
ness, and knows how to drive It along before hIln
To speedy and successful termination ii any man
can. The mill site is one Of the most convenien:
and pleasant locations in The country, situated on
. stream OF clear flowing water ana surrounded
by green hills covered with an abundance OF the
finest Of lumber, easily accessible, and abundant
enough to last forever. Presumption rights have
been secured for the company to "a large quantity
